| The Knights get pumped for the start of the GSA Point Chasers Tournament in Austell |

Will Nelson was great on the
mound in a 1 run loss to
the Hopewell Hawks |
It wasn't always pretty for the Marietta Knights at the GSA Points Chasers Tournament in Austell this weekend as they dropped both pool games to the Georgia Marlins and Strike One Sports Slammers. But the Knights buckled down in bracket play and battled the 3rd seeded Hopewell Hawks in a great defensive battle before finally falling 5-4 at Legion Field. Will Nelson was brilliant on the mound once again in his second tournament start. Will struck out 3 in 4 innings and held the Hawks scoreless in the 3rd and 4th innings. He also provided the Defensive Play of the day when he made a diving catch on a foul fly ball across the 3rd base line. The runner-up defensive play of the game came when Will made a diving catch on a foul fly ball across the first base line (the only reason this play was the runner up was because it lacked originality). Will had 3 assists including a pickoff and 2 putouts from the mound.

Mason Doyle went a whopping 5 for 8 with
3 RBI's and 2 runs scored on the weekend |
Presley Field and Mason Doyle continued their hot hitting for the Knights. On the weekend, Presley went 3 for 4 with 4 RBI's and 3 walks while Mason was 5 for 8 with 3 RBI's and 3 stolen bases. Austin Hansell added 2 RBI's and Isaac Zefo had the longest hit of the weekend when he blasted a double off of the base of the Blue Monster in left field against the Slammers. On the defensive side, Cal Hughes recorded 3 assists and 4 putouts while Mason added 2 assists and 4 putouts.
The Knights take a week off from the tournament circuit next week and will take on the Mt. Paran Patriots in NABL-West action next Sunday.
