Knights Win Two Against Corban Highlighted By Makanani Walk-Off Single

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 7th, 2026
 
Milwaukie, Ore.| Warner Pacific Softball had themselves a great day taking both games against Corban University by final scores of 4-3 and 6-3.
 
Game One
The Knights in game one got down early in the third inning when the Warriors Isabel Carattini singled to left field, plating a run, putting Corban up 1-0. The Knights would wake up themselves in the bottom of the third inning when Ryleah Torres reached on an error, bringing in both Mailli Bode and Noelani Barawis giving the Knights a 2-1 lead. Corban fought back in a big way scoring two more runs in the fourth inning, taking a 3-2 lead which set up Skylar Groesbeck in the fifth inning, who blasted a game tying opposite field dinger to right center field. It was Groesbeck's first round tripper knock of her career as a Knight.
 
After holding the Warriors scoreless in the top half of the seventh, the Knights had an opportunity to win the game. After the Knights first two batters would fly out harmlessly, Ryleah Torres came up and slammed a double down the left field line giving the Knights life with two outs in the frame. After a Madelyn Lahey walk, Kili Makanani came up and ended the game with an RBI single to left field driving in Torres to win the game 4-3.
 
Kili Makanani not only came through with the walk-off single, but she also pitched the full seven innings today for the Knights, giving up just six hits and three runs. Makanani also had five strikeouts.
 
Game Two
The Knights in game two got it started early in the first inning when Ryleah Torres knocked in a run with an RBI single. Corban fought back in the second with a run of their own but then the Knights scored five runs in the third inning with Torres, Nikki O'Reilly, and Brylee-Rose providing the big bats in the frame. Luckily, the six runs for the Knights were enough in this contest because the Warriors would fight back, scoring a run in both the fourth and seventh innings. The Knights closed the game out finally winning the contest 6-3.
 
Kaylee Pokorny got the start in the circle for the Knights and bent giving up eight hits but didn't break too much, allowing just the three runs. Pokorny picked up the win bringing her record to 6-3.
 
Next Up
The Knights will be back at it tomorrow once again with an opportunity to sweep aside the Warriors. The games will be at 11am and 1pm at Milwaukie High School.
