Niskayuna Beaten, 5-3, by Savannah
Savannah parlayed a decent outing from starter Dave Golash into a solid win over the Niskayuna Fighting Knights. The final score was 5-3. Golash yielded 3 runs over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 7. His record improves to 3-1. Picking up his 7th save was 21-year old left-handed pitcher Jeff Eddins.

Savannah needed the clutch hitting of Eli Martinez to notch the win. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Alpines on top, 5-3. For the game, Martinez had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Golash.

The loss makes Niskayuna 6-23.
