The Dodgeville Knights played a pair of warm-up games to prepare for this week's play-off games and came out on the losing end both times.
Pine Bluff handed the Knights an 11-1 loss Thursday in the first exhibition game as a trio of Bluffers pitchers limited them to three hits.
The Knights scored their lone run in the fourth. Karl Reynolds led off the inning with a double, stole third and scored on an infield out.
The Knights had two of their three hits in the fourth as Eric Rohowetz also doubled.
The third hit was a single by Travis Elvert in the third.
The Knights used three pitchers in the game. Greg Brennum started while Brandon Weier and Tony DeMuth worked in relief.
Monday the Knights scored a run in the top of the first and led Monona 1-0 but the Eastern Section team went on to a 9-1 win.
With two outs, Eric Rohowetz singled to center and was replaced by Guy "Pacco" Snell when he pulled a muscle heading to first. Danny Sullivan then singled and Travis Elvert followed with a base hit rbi.
The Knights managed only one hit after the first inning, a single by Jake Pluemer in the seventh.
Pluemer and Ty Marklein both pitched.
