Lions Earn 4-3 Win Versus Knights
The Kentucky Lions relied on the hitting of center fielder Klaus van Straaten to stop the Ohio Knights, 4-3. For the game, van Straaten was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times. Ichiro Koyama, 4-12, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. Earning the save was Kane Finzer. He's now cashed in 28 of 36 save opportunities.

Kentucky used the timely hitting of Zachary Zarzycki to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Lions on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This was a good win," said van Straaten.

Kentucky is now 71-78.
