Knights Have Losing Week

The New Glarus Knights baseball team played at Columbus on April 11th, losing 10-0. Columbus put players over home base in every inning but one.
“Columbus is good team.  They did everything they needed to do to win,” commented Coach Chris Rear.  “It was a game that showed some light on areas that we need to improve on.  Growth is the goal.”
Dalton Way hit a single in the first inning and was 1 for 2 at bat. Adam Nimtz and Josh Gray shared the mound, with Nimtz striking out three and Gray striking out two.
On Thursday, the team hosted Lake Mills. The Knights were only down by one at the bottom of the second inning, but Lake Mills scored two runs in the third and fourth innings and the Knights lost, 4-1.
“We played really well in most areas of the game.  Our discipline of the strike zone, defense, and pitching were all outstanding.  We had many opportunities to take the lead, but couldn’t come up the hit in those situations,” said Coach Rear.  “We were facing a dominant pitcher (we struck out 15 times, way too many) and he threw his best pitches when he needed to.  I am proud of the kids, they battled the entire game and gave us a chance to win.”
Dalton Way was 1 for 3 at bat. Zach Frick was 1 for 3, and had an RBI double. Jared Carney threw a complete game, allowing two earned runs.
The Knights played at Argyle on April 17th, at Luther Prep on April 18th and will play a Double Header against Cambridge on April 22nd.
