The Kimball Knights will take on the Pinkston Vikings in a tournament on Saturday.
Life Oak Cliff hit Kimball with a 18-run first inning last Tuesday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Knights lost 19-3 to the Lions. The loss continues a trend for the Knights in their meetings with the Lions: they've now lost four in a row.
Meanwhile, Pinkston had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They blew past the Tigers 15-2. That looming 15-2 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Vikings yet this season.
Pinkston's victory bumped their record up to 6-3. As for Kimball, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-2.
Kimball got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in April of 2025 against Pinkston by a conclusive 24-15 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
