After fighting through a tough mid-season stretch, the Knights regrouped to win 18 of its final 25 games and the third annual All-American Invitational to earn a berth in the 2004 NBC World Series. At the Series, the Knights made history by winning the title game 7-0 to go 7-0 at the 70th NBC World Series. The Knights are the first Series champion from Oregon since the Drain Black Sox in 1958 and first team to go undefeated in Wichita since Team USA in 1995. It was definitely a year of firsts for Aloha. The 2004 Summer National Champions won its first All-American Invitational, first national championship and placed its first player on Baseball America's Summer All-American Team, right-handed sophomore-to be pitcher Kyle Parker of University of Washington. The club also featured its second league MVP, 2004 PIL MVP Aaron Coiteux of Concordia University. The championship season also showcased a new identity that included new team colors, a new logo and new Nike uniforms. The organization also partnered with the University of Oregon Warsaw Sports Marketing Center to launch an internship program that featured five Duck students. The interns and Mack the Knight, the team's first mascot, promoted the club in the Gresham area and created excitement at the park. Three regular season crowds of over 200 (with a high of 234) enjoyed summer collegiate baseball at Oslund Field.

Hudson and Coiteux both compete in spring and summer World Series, Hudson with Texas at the NCAA College World Series in Omaha and Coiteux with Concordia at the NAIA World Series in Lewiston.
