The Knights dropped Game 1 of their area playoff series against Montgomery Lake Creek, 5-1, Thursday night in Mumford.
McCallum led early 1-0 after Lyrr Friesem scored on a two-out pop up by John Dietz in the top of the second that landed after the Lion left-fielder and shortstop collided allowing the ball to drop and Friesem enough time to dash from third to home with the first run of the game.
Unfortunately, the rest of the news is not good if you are a Knight fan. The Lions scored three runs off starter Nathan Nagy—two in the second and one in the fourth—then two more off reliever Nico Sanchez in the sixth inning to win the game 5-1.
Texas A&M signee Weston Moss went the distance to earn a complete-game win for the Lions, allowing three hits, striking out four and walking one.
The Lions meanwhile earned seven hits off of Knight pitching. Sam Lee went 2-for-2 with two walks and two RBIs in the game for Lake Creek.
Game 2, weather permitting, started at 4:30 p.m.
