East Sac County picked up a big win over Kuemper as the Knights saw their season come to an end Wednesday night.

Kuemper worked three walks in the inning, all coming on 4-0 counts. After each pitch struggled in one of the first two innings, the score would stay dead-locked at 3-1. In the fourth inning, Pierce came to bat with one gone in the inning a ripped a double to center field but could not come around to score, keeping the score at 3-1. Anna McCollough picked up the next Raider hit in the top of the seventh put but was also unable to score, and the ESC took a 3-1 lead of Kuemper going to the bottom of the seventh. The Knights were able to score a run, but that would be it, as Kuemper would lose 3-2 at home Wednesday night.
