The Knights came out on top in a nail-biter against the Thunderbolts on Friday, sneaking past 4-3. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Knights also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2025.
Devan Lovingfoss looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one hit any time he's pitched this season.
