Malabranca drives in 5 runs to Ignite Fighting Knights Offense
No one was more impactful than Carlos Malabranca in the 13-6 Niskayuna win over Spring Park. Malabranca, who is tied for 8th in the SL2 in home runs with 7, was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5. Niskayuna starter Alex Ruiz was credited with the win after throwing 86 pitches over 5 innings. His record now stands at 3-1. The win makes Niskayuna 19-15.

Niskayuna grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Malabranca hit a grand slam home run off Jim Unknown. His 7th home run of the season put the Fighting Knights out in front, 7-3.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Fighting Knights manager Gabe Ludwigsen. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
