An 8-3 loss to the Wenatchee AppleSox in game three of the WCL Championship Series after the Knights took game two prevented the 2012 Corvallis Knights from repeating as West Coast League champions. But the team's sixth summer in Corvallis was successful on almost every front. They went 40-24 overall and were ranked #21 in Perfect Game USA's final college summer baseball Top 50 rankings. The Knights claimed the West Division pennant for the sixth year in a row, and then swept Cowlitz in the West Division playoffs to advance to the Championship Series for the fifth time in the past six seasons. They also had a WCL West-best seven all-stars; pitched the team's first no-hitter since the inception of the WCL, and came within a whisker of setting an all-time attendance record for the sixth straight season. The Knights started quickly; a 12-game winning streak left them at 18-6 and well ahead of their West Division challengers. However, a team-record seven-game losing streak from July 2-7 enabled Bend and Klamath Falls to get back into contention and both teams had a chance to take the lead with wins over the Knights. Corvallis led Bend by half-game before a 5-3 victory over the Elks on July 19. And the Knights held a slim one-game edge over Klamath Falls before a 10-1 rout of the Gems on July 26 at Goss restored a two-game bulge. At that point, the Knights caught fire. They went 8-2 in their final 10 WCL games to comfortably capture the division title. They then eliminated Cowlitz before falling to Wenatchee in the third game of a very competitive Championship Series.
