Fighting Knights Win, 6-4, Versus Ontario
Carlos Malabranca was a major contributor to the 6-4 Niskayuna win over Ontario. The Fighting Knights left fielder went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Danny Manzano finished the game for Niskayuna and earned his 3rd save. Niskayuna now has a record of 21-16 with the win.

Niskayuna needed the clutch hitting of Ken Beck to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Fighting Knights on top, 6-4. For the game, Beck had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Malabranca.
