The Fighting Knights now have a record of 14-15 with the win over Newport News.

With one out in the top of the third, Albert Garcia put Niskayuna in front, 1-0, with a run-scoring single. The Fighting Knights went on to win the ballgame.

"Feels good to get the job done," Malabranca said after the game.
