Knights Win Fifth Consecutive WCL Title
August 21, 2021 - West Coast League (WCL) News Release
The historic run is now a five-peat for the Corvallis Knights. On Friday night at Goss Stadium, the Knights topped the Yakima Valley Pippins 13-2 to capture their fifth consecutive West Coast League title.
"When I became Commissioner four years ago," Rob Neyer said after Friday night's game in Corvallis, "I was well-aware of the Knights' sterling reputation. But I couldn't guess that they would just keep winning championships. It's been a great honor to personally award Corvallis the championship trophy in my three seasons with the West Coast League."
The Knights' championship is also their eighth overall, with 2021 joining 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 (the league's 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
