Monday, June 9: Away vs. Hazleton

Outlaws 13     Hazleton 1

  Cody Knecht pitched a complete game and the Outlaws offense provided enough spark as the Outlaws defeated Hazleton 13-1 to run their winning streak to 8.

  Knecht (2-0) was within one out of the first complete game shutout in Outlaws history, but a double with 2 outs put Hazleton on the scoreboard.   Knecht was effective from the beginning.  He retired the first 8 Hazleton batters he faced and only allowed 1 run on 4 hits, striking out 6 and walking none. 

  The Outlaws would score 6 in the top of the first giving Knecht the cushion he would need.  The Outlaws first 7 batters would reach base highlighted by a Josh Perch triple which scored Tyler Franks.  Franks had singled scoring lead-off hitter James Loua; who had reached on a walk.

  Consecutive walks to Jake Hollweg, Glenn Iversen and Travis Bisbing scored another run.  And Knecht helped himself by singling in 2 runs for a quick 6-0 lead.

  Jake Hollweg would hit an rbi triple in the 6th as the Outlaws offense helped Knecht who had a strong day on the mound.
