The Metro Knights will travel to Duluth on Saturday, July 14th for games with the Twin Ports North Stars and Duluth Padres of the Upper 13 League. The Knights and North Stars will face off at 1:00 at Ordean Field, located just a few hundred yards from the shores of Lake Superior. The Knights will then shuttle over to Bulldog Park on the University of Minnesota-Duluth campus for a 4:00 match against the Padres.

On Sunday, July 15th, the Knights will take the scenic route home through northwestern Wisconsin and pay a visit to the 2010 WI State Champion Haugen Knights. The Knights will do battle at 2:00.

Shawn Rasmussen: Babe Ruth Reincarnate?

Starting pitcher Shawn "Rassy" Rasmussen breaks the Knights' record for most strikeouts in a game (11Ks in 8 innings) previously shared by Ricky Caldecott, Frank Matteson, and Colton Smit who had 10Ks.  Shawn also went 5-for-5 at the plate with 3 stolen bases to key a 4-3 extra-innings win over the scrappy Duluth Padres.  Brett Schlosser knocks in the winning run with a 2-out double to the gap in right.

During the post game interview when asked about what he attributed to his success during the game, Rassy, replied "I knew the team needed someone to put them on their backs. And I did a lot of push ups over the past week so I was really prepared."
