A hit batter and then a two-out double put the Knights up 8-6.
As the game moved to the top of the seventh, the Lyons set their sights on making their own rally. Turner Hurst and Colton Prow led off the inning with back-to-back singles. A sac bunt moved the runners to second and third with one out.
