Super Troopers Roll Over Fighting Knights, 10-3
The Santa Barbara Super Troopers pinned a convincing loss on the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 10-3, at Car Ramrod Park. Ruben Vences was a main factor in the win. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for Santa Barbara. John Robertson, 2-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 4.1 innings. Now 3-18, the 2026 Fighting Knights have been wretched so far.

Santa Barbara got a big at-bat from Santiago, Dominican Republic native Jesus Rojas, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a 2-run double. It was his 2nd double of the season and put the Super Troopers ahead, 5-2.

"We knocked the fire out of the ball," said Santa Barbara manager Tyler Haskin. "The guys swung the bats pretty good, and that's fun to see."
