The Knights showed no ill effect from their previous week’s heavy loss to competition favourites Turvey Park Yellow by attacking the ball at every opportunity.
Promising Saints Knights’ pitcher, Logan Ingram, bounced out of his mid-season form slump to limit the strong Dragons batting line up to just one run, while the Knights batters piled on nine runs.
Dragons’ head coach, Ian Donohue, used the game to experiment with developing pitchers, Abbey Bourke and Alicia Donohue, giving them both valuable game time on the pitchers plate.
The Dragons have time to work on the batting side of their game with finals just two weeks away.
Meanwhile, Turvey Park Yellow continued their late season dominance with a hard fought win over Turvey Park Red.
Jacob Rose starred with the bat for the winners, while sisters, Brianna and Jess Wendt and Phoebe Wadley had sound games for the Reds.
Rose capped off a big home run with a special celebration – going a cartwheel to make it to home base.
