A fit of wildness by South Whidbey pitchers helped host King’s come from behind to beat the Falcons 5-3 Wednesday, April 4.

The Knights scored three runs in the sixth inning on only one hit, a double that came after a hit batter and three walks.

The win helped King’s avenge a 12-2 loss to the Falcons March 19.

South Whidbey (1-6, 2-7) plays at Sultan (1-4, 2-6) at 4 p.m. both Friday, April 6, and Monday, April 9.

King’s 5, South Whidbey 3

Trailing 3-2 going into the sixth, the Knights’ winning rally started with a hit batter. Two walks sandwiched between two strike outs loaded the bases. Another walk forced in the tying run, then a double Tyler Durbin plated the go-ahead runs.

The Knights’ pitcher had his own control issues. South Whidbey opened the game with a run in the first inning thanks to free passes. Alex Black led off by reaching on an error, then walks to Drew Fry, Ethan Petty and Kade Petty forced in a run.

King’s scored twice in the second on a single, error and wild pitch.

South Whidbey took the lead with a two-run fifth, again helped along by the Knights’ pitcher’s inability to throw strikes. Black walked, then with one out, Ethan Petty and Taylor Brown were hit by pitches. Nick Young singled in Black and Petty scored on an error.

Brown, Young and Dax Jokinen had the Falcons’ only hits in the game. Black stole two bases and scored two runs.

Ethan Petty pitched the first 5.1 innings and struck out eight.
