The Knights guys followed the same plan, as their defense forced the Blue Jays to spit the ball out early and often, taking a 7-0 lead after the slide and winning five 4-40. Max Hammond was Norfolk’s top Catholic scorer with 17. and Nolan Fennessy followed with 16 problems and five blocks. Konnor Kralik led all Blue Jays in scoring with 19.
