The Kamiak Knights are taking a road trip to face off against the Jackson Timberwolves at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Kamiak is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.6 runs per game this season.
Kamiak will roll into the matchup after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up two runs two weeks ago, then bounced right back against Marysville Getchell last Friday. The Knights blew past Marysville Getchell 12-2. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won three games by seven runs or more so far this season.
