Savannah Slaps 7-4 Loss on Niskayuna
With first baseman Mike Fitzgerald leading the charge, the Savannah Alpines defeated the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 7-4, at Fighting Knights Field. Fitzgerald, who is tied for 6th in the SL2 with a .667 slugging percentage, went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Jeff Eddins got the save, the 6th for him this season. The loss makes Niskayuna 5-22.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Rafael Farrand? The Savannah center fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Alpines on top, 5-2. For the game, Farrand had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Fitzgerald. "And not try to do too much."
