Welcome to Knights Notes, a daily recap and preview of all the stuff happening with Knights athletics and former Middletown athletes.

The spring sports season is slowly creeping upon us and by the time you read these notes and tomorrow morning we will have 4 spring sports season previews for you. They’ll all be lacrosse previews but baseball, softball, tennis, and track and field will be soon to follow.

Without further ado, here are your Knights Notes for March 16^th:

- Chase Hoffman and the Shepherd Rams Baseball team saw their hot start to the season continue as they took care of University of Virginia-Wise in a doubleheader. The Rams took Game 1 handily, 18-3 and then edged UVA-Wise in a closer contest in Game 2, 5-2. Hoffman did not play for the Rams in either contest. (Link)

- It’s been a tough week for Mitch Sgrignoli and the Mount Saint Mary’s baseball team and it would only continue down in Bel Air, Maryland at the Harford Sports Complex as the Mountaineers would drop both ends of a doubleheader with St. Bonaventure. The Mount lost Game 1, 5-2 and then dropped Game 2, 6-3, seeing their record fall to 2-8. Sgrignoli would play 3 innings in left field for the Mount in Game 1, getting 1 at-bat – a swinging strike out. Sgrignoli would not play in Game 2. (Link)

- Robby Tucker and the Frostburg State Bobcats Baseball team would prove that their #25 ranking is no fluke as they swept a doubleheader from Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia. The Bobcats would beat the Captains, 9-5 in Game 1. Tucker would play 5+ innings at catcher in game 1 going 0-2 with a strikeout, and defensively 3 put-outs, 2 assists, and a passed ball. Tucker wouldn’t play in Game 2, as the Bobcats won that contest 16-10. (Link)

- Max Edelmann and the Community College of Baltimore County-Essex Men’s Lacrosse team would continue the undefeated start to their season as they won their 4^th straight, taking down Suffolk Community College, 14-1. Edelmann would record a win, his 2^nd of the year, stopping 15 of 16 shots over 50 minutes of action. (Link)

- Connor Myers and the Old Dominion University Baseball team would let a bad inning get the best of them with that being their downfall as they lost to Western Kentucky, 9-5 in the series finale. Myers would go 2-4 in the Monarchs loss with 2 singles, 2 strikeouts, 2 putouts, and 3 runners left on base. (Link)

- Emily Boyce and the Richmond Spiders Women’s Lacrosse team would see a brief parlay of their road trip on the west coast end in defeat as they fell to the Oregon Ducks, 15-11. Boyce would play 38:02 and receive a losing decision, dropping her record to 3-5. Boyce would allow 10 goals on 12 shots for the Spiders. (Link)

- Nick Rabat and the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams Baseball team would pick up a win in the 2^nd game of the PK5 Classic, beating James Madison 7-1. Rabat would not play in the VCU win. (Link)

- Kameryn Corcoran and the University of Virginia Rowing team would win all 5 of the races on Day 2 of the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational. Those 5 wins would include a win in the Third Varsity Eight which Corcoran was on. (Link)

Knight of the Day-March 15^th: Max Edelmann made things look easy for the CCBC-Essex Men’s Lacrosse team in their 14-1 win over Suffolk CC. Edelmann racked up 15 saves on 16 shots for the Knights and for that he is our Knight of the Day recipient.
