The Noble Knights will venture away from home to take on the Falmouth Navigators at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Noble's pitching crew has only allowed 2.7 runs per game this season, so Falmouth's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Noble will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up one run on Tuesday, then bounced right back against Sanford on Thursday. The Knights were the clear victors by a 15-2 margin over the Spartans. That 13-run margin sets a new team best for the Knights this season.
Carl Gregoire made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Noble is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 0-3 otherwise. Gregoire was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run. That stolen base marked the first that he has snagged this season.
