KNIGHTS ON THE ROAD
After a weekend series in Concordia, the Urban Knights are back home to play four with Hawaii Pacific over two double headers. ART U will then head back to Southern California after their quick home stint to face the No. 10 California Baptist Lancers.
 
FIRST PITCH
The first double header with HPU will take place on Monday, March 28 with first pitch times of 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The following day, the series will move to College of Alameda with the same time slots. On Friday April 1, ART U will open a series with the No. 10 CBU Lancers (again at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.) with the final two games at noon and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 4. Live coverage will be available at the links listed above, but as always, you can follow the Urban Knights on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
 
KNOTABLE KNIGHTS
After a dominant series in Irvine, junior catcher Zack Trueblood now leads the team in several offensive categories including: batting average (.304), slugging percentage (.391), doubles (8), hits (28), and total bases (36). There are two Knights tied atop the leaderboard in runs batted in, with both senior outfielder Joseph Marchini and redshirt junior infielder Erick Luna having notched ten apiece this season. Freshman right hander Daniel Farfan posted some impressive numbers during his game-three start against Concordia. In a seven-inning game, Farfan tossed a career-high 9.0 innings while allowing just one run on five hits, five walks, and four strikeouts. The freshman leads the Urban Knights with a .220 batting average against and is just the second pitcher on the staff to complete 9.0 innings in a game this season.
 
SHARKS COOLING OFF
HPU enters the series 17-9 overall and 9-7 in the PacWest (fifth-place), but is currently in the midst of a 2-4 dryspell after facing California Baptist and Azusa Pacific. The Sharks have been an offensive force all season however, playing host to four players with batting averages over .300. Steven Camberos leads the team with a .348 batting average, four home runs, 27 runs batted in, and a .667 slugging percentage.
 
LANCERS ON TOP
California Baptist is ranked 10th in the country and is first in the PacWest with a record of 23-7, 13-3 PacWest. One of their three conference losses came at the hands of HPU on March 24.  Despite the loss, the Lancers have still won 11 of their previous 14 matchups. Stephen Lohr's .436 batting average is the highest on the team and the second-best in the conference. However, Lohr is atop the conference with 31 runs scored, 48 hits, and 14 doubles.
 
ART U BASEBALL FALLS 2-0 TO CAP SERIES
March 20 - Despite a complete-game effort from junior left hander Alexander Kuisel, the Urban Knights (7-18, 2-9 PacWest) were unable to put a run across, falling 2-0 in the series finale against Concordia (16-16, 12-8 PacWest).
 
The game was scoreless for the opening three innings as neither side was able to crack the scoreboard. In fact, Kuisel did not surrender his first hit of the ballgame until the fourth inning when the Eagles' John Bornhop singled through the right side to drive in Tino Leite for the team's first run; Concordia exited the inning with a 1-0 lead.
 
LOOKING AHEAD
After the four-game set with CBU, ART U will return to Southern California once again, facing off with Point Loma in San Diego. The series is set to begin with a noon and 3:00 p.m. double header on Friday, April 15.
