Boone was able to get out ahead quickly with eight runs combined in the first three innings, leaving Kuemper with only two in the third inning. Jordan Schwabe and Kenzie Schon were able to score runs with Kenadee Loew scoring Schwabe off a sac hit and Kaylie Diercksen scoring Schon off a single.

Boone’s bats were cooled off for three innings while Kuemper played catch and scored another run in the sixth, cutting down the Boone lead to 8-6. Kuemper’s big inning came in the seventh when they rattled off six runs and took the lead for the first time at 12-8. Kaylie Diercksen had the lone hit for the Knights in the seventh as most of the baserunners got on the bags due to walks, errors, and fielder’s choice. With a four run lead, Kuemper had to keep Boone at bay in the bottom half of the inning to secure a win. The Toreadors got back to back base hits to get two runners on and a sac hit got one runner home. An error at first base allowed another runner to score for Boone then a blooper to right field scored a third runner, cutting down the Kuemper lead to 12-11. The Kuemper defense was able to pump the breaks and tag runners out at home and at third base to stop the Toreadors’ chance to win, giving them the 12-11 win.
The win will elevate the Knights to 10-12 overall on the season. They return to action on Monday, June 20th with a home game against Shenandoah.
