Fighting Knights Get Thrilling 5-4 Win
The Fighting Knights earned a hard-fought, 5-4 win in 10 innings at Fighting Knights Field. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Savannah pitcher Bill Blom. Blom went 5.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Juan Esquibel was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Willie Granados. With the loss, Savannah sinks to 1-2.

The Fighting Knights got a clutch hit from second baseman Alex Marquez. In the bottom of the tenth, he hit a run-scoring single to center, to win the game for the Fighting Knights.

"It was our day today," Marquez told the Niskayuna Observer. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
