San Diego Knights

After 8 seasons of play, the San Diego Knights have come to a crossroads. The Knights lost 7-6 in the Summer 2004 play-offs to the Flys in what was among the most disappointing losses in the teams history. The Knights led 6-2 going into the 8th before surrendering 5 runs, 3 of them unearned. With time running out, the Knights could not put any more runs on the board in the 8th or 9th and ended what looked to be a championship season. Next season will have a different look as Britton Scheibe and Scott Gunther will be moving on as full time players on the team. Scott Gunther will be moving to Orange County, but will still put in an appearance from time to time. Britton Scheibe is stepping down as manager and will hand the reins over, but to whom is not yet known. The Knights went 91-37 over the 8 seasons and were in the play-offs every year. The Knights won four consecutive Metal Bat Championships from Summer 2002 to Spring 2004, winning the overall Championship in the Spring of 2003 and the Spring of 2004. This is success which has little if any rival. Things will be different from this point forward but with mostly everyone returning, the strong core of the Knights will live on and continue their winning ways.
