On a foggy damp evening in downtown East Boston the Knights welcomed the Beacons to EB Stadium to square off in the first game of three between these new division rivals. The Knights outlasted the Beacons in a match up between a young Sean Hannon and the gritty veteran John Nee. The Knights scored a run in the second inning on a high fly ball to left field that got lost in the fog by Ben McBide, which ended up a triple, and scored on a broken bat single by Wilson Mercado to take a one run lead. That broken bat would come back to haunt the Knights and Mercado as he ended up getting ejected using a composite bat he found in the team bag in the 4th inning. The Knights scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th taking advantage of walks and an RBI single by Maza. Hannon was the story in this one capping it off by striking out Drew Tambling for the 4th time of the night with the bases loaded and the tying run on second base to end the game
