The Silver Knights were a charter team of the FCBL, as Drew Weber, former owner of the Lowell Spinners, wanted to also operate a franchise in the New England Collegiate Baseball League.
The club modified the winner to "Silver Knights" to avoid conflict with an existing amateur baseball team in the city.
Ted Currle was hired as their field manager, with Jeff Dupont and Kyle Jackson assisting as coaches.
With the replacement of the Old Orchard Beach franchise by the Bristol Blues, Nashua moved to the East Division, joining in-state rival Seacoast Mavericks.
The FCBL expanded the playoff format, allowing 8 of the 10 teams into the post-season but making the first two rounds a single game.
After the season, Drew Weber announced his intention to sell both the Silver Knights and the Spinners as a package.
Neverett moved out of the front office and back to the field as the team's manager and took the franchise to the FCBL championship.
This earned them the right to host the play-in game with Torrington, but the Silver Knights were seeded lower than their subsequent two opponents, each of which elected to start its best-of-three series at Nashua.
Tim's son Matt Neverett was one of the announcers of Silver Knights games on WSMN radio.
Nashua elected to start the series at Worcester and won away and at home, repeating on August 12 as FCBL Champions.
In the off-season, both General Manager Ronnie Wallace and Assistant GM Cheryl Lindner resigned within days of one another to take jobs outside baseball.
Neverett took advantage of a liberalized FCBL rule allowing up to 5 "commits" (high-school graduates intending to play college baseball in the coming year), resulting in a distinctly younger team.
[11] The FCBL started 2019 as a seven-team league again, as a new Westfield franchise balanced the defection of Martha's Vineyard to the NECBL.
[12] Owner Drew Weber sold a minority stake to local businessmen and fired Muntean,[13] appointing as co-General Managers team accountant Victoria Cookson and former mayoral candidate Michael Broderick.
[14] However, in March, Weber and the co-owners announced the sale of the club to John Creedon Jr., the owner of the Worcester Bravehearts.
The rubber game, played in Vermont, was back-and-forth; Boston College's Kyle Wolff hit a two-run home run in the top of the ninth and the Knights won, 6-5.
