The Niskayuna Fighting Knights soundly defeated the Carson City Miners, 19-2, at Miners Ballpark, with shortstop Albert Garcia a major reason why. He slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5 for Niskayuna. Ricky Flores earned the win for Niskayuna. He lasted 6 innings, allowing no runs on 4 hits, while striking out 3. With the win, he raised his record to 5-0. Juan Gastelo picked up his 1st save of the season.

The Fighting Knights got an important contribution from right fielder Nate Fard, who in the top of the second punched a 1-2 cutter to center for a grand slam home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Fighting Knights ahead, 7-0.

"This was one of those games you love to be a part of," said Garcia.

The Fighting Knights, at 25-32, sit in 5th place in the Sub League 2 East Division.
