In game two, the Knights took a 10-5 lead in the eighth inning after Michael Sandoval's grand slam over the left field fence. The home run capped off a seven-run inning for the Knights that seemed to put them in good position to get the series win, but Cuesta did not let up.

The Cougars came back with four runs of their own in the bottom of the eighth and cut the deficit to 10-9. Then in the bottom of the ninth inning with two out and one runner on, Austin Cunningham hit a triple to center field that drove in the tying run.

Then in the bottom of the 11th, Cuesta's Mitchell Prophet hit a single up the middle that drove in Ty Muller from second base to win the game, 11-10, and force a third game.

In game three, the Cougars carried over the momentum from the come back win and jumped on the Knights early as they went ahead 10-0 after three innings. SDCC could not recover and eventually lost, 20-7.

It was the most successful season that the Knights have had in 17 years as they won the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference championship. Head Coach Chris Brown was named PCAC Coach of the Year and pitcher Hunter Herrera was selected as the PCAC Player of the Year.

The Knights also had seven players selected to the All-PCAC First Team including Herrera, Adam Bileckyj, Corey Vasquez, Anthony Long, Louis Casarez, Michael Sandoval and Gilbert Guardado.

City also had four more players that were given PCAC Honerable Mention including Nick Geraci, Nick Covyeau, Kevin Santos and Phil Creecy.
 

Knights' starting pitcher and PCAC Player of the Year Hunter Herrera (9-2) took a 4-2 lead into the ninth inning, but could not keep it as the Cougars scored two runs to even the game at 4-4.

With two runners on and one out, Cuesta's Mitchell Prophet hit a line drive to center field that Kevin Santos failed to catch. As a result of the error, TJ Filicia was able to score from second base. Later in the inning with two out, Davey Shultz hit a double down the left field line that scored the tying run and nearly drove in the go-ahead run. On the play, Prophet was trying to score from first base, but was thrown out at home on the relay by SDCC third baseman Michael Sandoval.

In the bottom of the ninth, Santos redeemed himself with a lead off single. After a pop out by Anthony Long and a walk by Gilbert Guardado, Corey Vasquez was able to move the runners over with a ground out. Then Cazares came up and hit a high, fading ball that landed safely near the right field line to bring in Santos from third base for the win.

Cuesta took a 1-0 lead in the second inning after Ty Muller's solo home run to left field. The Knights answered with two runs in the bottom of the second after Santos' two-run triple. They eventually took a 4-1 lead after four innings.

Hunter pitched his second complete game of the season. He struck out six on Friday while allowing two earned runs on eight hits.

Vasquez finished 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run. Santos went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run while Louis Cazares went 3-for-5 with one RBI.

Game two is scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. and game three, if necessary, will start 30 minutes after the conclusion of game two. Although the series is being played at Morley Field, the Knights will be designated as the "visiting team" for game two.

The winner of the series will advance to the Super Regionals on May 14-16.
