Shamrocks Fall Short, 6-5, at Niskayuna
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights turned back the Sikeston Shamrocks, 6-5, at Fighting Knights Field. Cesar Berrios, in particular, had a fine performance. He went 1-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Niskayuna reliever Danny Manzano got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Miguel Martinez was tagged with the loss. Jose Moreira collected save number 3.

Kevin Jones drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate for Niskayuna. The 21-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring walk off Miguel Martinez. It was his 12th walk of the season.

Berrios 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."

Niskayuna is now 12-7.
