Cyclones Need Extra Frames to Get Past Fighting Knights
The Mt. Vernon Cyclones defeated the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 11-9. Catcher Nate Johnson deserved a large share of the credit. Johnson was 4 for 6 with 4 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for the Cyclones. Carlos Brenes snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 4 hits over 1.2 innings. He's now 3-0 on the season. The save went to Cory Hobbs, his 6th this season.

The game was all tied up in the top of the tenth, until Johnson delivered big-time for Mt. Vernon, stroking a dramatic 2-run single off Juan Esquibel. The game-changing hit put the Cyclones on top, 11-9.

"Baseball is a wild game -- a crazy game, sometimes," said Johnson.

The defeat makes Niskayuna 10-9.
