Carson Blue Jays
stopped by Knights
RENO - Despite three hits apiece by Gehrig Tucker and TJ Thomsen, the Carson Blue Jays dropped a 14-6 decision to the Reno Knights Thursday night at Reno High School.

Carson scored one in the fourth, two in the fifth, one in the sixth and two in the eighth.
Tucker went 3-for-3, while Thomsen was 3-for-5 with an RBI. Luke Maher went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI, and Jace Zampirro went 2-for-3.
