As Knack approaches crossing the 100 innings pitched in a season for the first time in his professional career, it will be something to watch as the regular season approaches September.

Austin Gauthier got on base five times with three singles and two walks. Yusniel Diaz homered and Imanol Vargas doubled and scored twice.
River Ryan pitched five innings and gave three unearned runs and six hits. Ryan walked won and struck out four.
