| George Krivsky celebrates his big inside the park Grand Slam with his teammates after the Knights 12-0 win. |
The Marietta Knights picked up their 3rd straight win with a dominating 12-0 performance against the East Marietta Rattlers Thursday night at Larry Bell Park. George Krivsky, Hunter Williamson, Will Nelson and Jackson Tysinger combined for the shutout, pitching 1 inning each. They struck out 6 against only 3 hits and 2 walks. Gil Hastings helped out with 4 putouts at 1B and Austin Hansell threw out a Rattler trying to steal 3B.

The Knights jumped on the Rattlers early with 5 runs in the first thanks to singles by Jackson, Austin, Luke Martin, Hunter and Will. They pushed the lead to 7-0 in the 2nd with hits from George, Austin Schubert and Mason Doyle. Luke was hit by a pitch in the 3rd and scored after Garrett Wells singled and Hunter and Will walked. The bases remained loaded and the stage was set for George Krivsky. George unloaded on a 2-2 fastball and sent a rocket screaming into the RCF gap. The bases seemed to empty before the ball hit the ground just a few steps from the deep Larry Bell fence. George converted adrenaline to afterburner and came flying around second as the Rattlers' CF fired the ball towards the IF. Just after he rounded third the Rattlers executed a very nice relay with the throw pulling their C just a little up the 3B line as George slid into home for the rare inside the park Grand Slam and a 12-0 Knights lead. The Knights' dugout emptied as the team joined the baserunners in mobbing George for the bomb. With help from Google Earth, Coach Rob estimates the tale of the tape to be 270'.
The 3rd win in a row was another very well played game by the Knights. In addition to the great pitching and big hitting, the Knights did not commit an error. The Knights will take their win streak to Hunter Park in Douglasville on Saturday with back to back games against the Newnan Jayhawks and the PTB 5 Star Generals.
