Fighting Knights Pocket 8-5 Win Against Ontario
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights topped the Ontario Sunrays, 8-5, with youngster Nate Fard playing a key role. Fard was 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Fighting Knights in the win. The Fighting Knights, now 6-2, have hit the ground running this season.

Had Alex Marquez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Marquez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Fighting Knights.

"Nate raked," said Niskayuna manager Jonathan Anderson.
