The Knights traveled to Ronan Park to face the Dodgers. The Knights sent Jonathan Scull to the mound to face off against Kevin Breidenstine. The Knights put up single runs in the 3rd and 5th to take a 2-0 lead that would not last for long. The Dodgers put up 2 in the bottom of the 5th to tie the score. The score remained tied at 2 after 7 innings and would go to extra baseball. Both teams had chances in the extra frames but none bigger than the Dodgers threat in the 8th. With Branden Eaton on the mound and on the ropes with the bases loaded and a chance to walk off the season with a victory, Eaton put it in another gear and retired the next three batters he faced striking out the last 2. The Knights then took care of business loading the bases themselves in the top of the 9th and plating 2 to take a 4-2 lead. Ben McBride took the mound in the bottom of the 9th picking up his first YBL save.

The East Boston Knights hosted the South Boston Saints with a chance to clinch the Yaz division. With that in mind the Knights used both Branden Eaton and Sean Hannon to ensure on this Knight they would be crowned division champs. Eaton started and went 4 innings followed by Hannon for 3 and neither disappointed the largest crowd on hand in East Boston's history. The Saints could only muster up one hit off the duo, that being a slow roller up the middle off of the bat of Byron Evans in the first inning. The Knights pushed across single runs in the 2nd and 4th to take a 2-0 lead. Kenny Polanco was 3 for 3 with an RBI to lead the charge offensively for the Knights. With 2 out in the top of the 7th pinch hitter Rob Stephenson grounded to Anthony Ortiz who fired to Ace DiNapoli to end the game and clinch the Yaz division!!!! For the Knights it is the first Division Championship and playoff appearance in their short history!!!

The Knights and Astros faced off for the 2nd time this season with the Knights looking to even the score after losing their previous match-up earlier in the season. The Knights sent Justin Wojcik vs old friend Josh Valerio. This game was a reunion of sorts for the Knights facing old teammates in Omar Ortiz, Steve Baldassari and Josh Valerio. Both pitchers dueled thru 4 innings but the Knights broke the ice and got to Valerio scoring 7 runs in the 5th. Once again the Knights bats get contagious and string together enough hits to break thru in the inning. The real story in this game was Justin Wojcik. He was in command all night keeping Astro batters off balance and shaking their heads in frustration. Wojcik threw a complete game 3 hit shutout striking out 2 for his 1st win of the season since re-joining the Knights. The Knights are now 19-6 and reduce their magic number for winning the division to 2.
