Knights Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season
The Los Angeles Knights started the 1949 season win an impressive 4-1 win against the Seattle Thunderbirds at Knights Stadium. Steve Noel led the way for Los Angeles. Noel went the distance for Los Angeles. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits.

Los Angeles took a 4-1 lead on Bill Patterson's 1st double of the season. The 2-run double, which Patterson hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Seattle pitcher Hank Kroll visibly frustrated.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Patterson.
