Castillo 3-for-4 to Ignite Fighting Knights Offense
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights defeated the Anaheim Music, 13-6, at Fighting Knights Field. Leading the charge for Niskayuna was right fielder Felix Castillo. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Picking up the save was Juan Esquibel, his 1st. The Music, at 14-16, have lost 4 in a row.

Niskayuna took the lead on Castillo's 5th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which came against Miguel Martinez in the bottom of the seventh, made the score 9-6, Niskayuna.

Castillo expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
