Fighting Knights Win, 12-7, Versus Ontario
Niskayuna designated hitter Ben Borch contributed significantly to his team's 12-7 win over the Ontario Sunrays. Borch went 3 for 5 with 3 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Fighting Knights. The win was credited to Corneles Manolas in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Harrison Tatta took the loss. The loss puts Ontario at 2-8.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Felix Castillo came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Ontario pitcher Harrison Tatta, he hit a 2-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Niskayuna on top, 8-7.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Borch.
