They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 7-6 W against the Johnson Jaguars. That's two games straight that the Knights have won by just one run.

At the plate, Steele let Autumn Schaffee and Sara Ramirez run wild. Schaffee went 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI, while Ramirez went 1-for-2 with one home run and two runs. Those four RBI gave Schaffee a new career-high. Amy Owens also deserves some recognition as she scored her first run of the season.

Steele hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most three strikeouts in three consecutive contests.

Steele's victory bumped their record up to 13-8. As for Johnson, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-3-1.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Steele will welcome Clemens at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
