Its a short ball that this time gets the outside edge and goes through to the keeper. 8/1 10.5 to SP Terry, its another full ball from McCarter. Terry doesnt play a shot and is hit on the pads. Its a huge appeal and he is out. What a great start for the Knights. 36/4 16.6 to TE Kane, What a great catch, its going down legside and Kane gets an edge on the ball.
