Green Knights Grind Out 1-0 Win
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Ayres Palhao into a win. Instead, the Spring Park Green Knights prevailed, 1-0. Palhao threw 6.0 innings of 4-hit ball. Billy Cumberland locked down his 4th save. The win moves Spring Park to a record of 8-11.

Spring Park used a well-timed hit by Ryan Dowdell to capture the win. The second baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Green Knights ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We didn't score," said losing manager Jonathan Anderson. "That was the problem."
