Aitcheson, Panthers Fall to Fighting Knights
The inspired effort of Wichita shortstop Karl Aitcheson was not enough to prevent a loss, 8-7, to the Niskayuna Fighting Knights. Aitcheson went 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The loss makes Wichita 19-20.

The Fighting Knights got a big hit from shortstop Hector Landa. In the bottom of the sixth, Landa smacked a 3-run home run off Wichita pitcher Trevor Hill. It was his 8th home run of the season. Suddenly, the Fighting Knights were ahead, 8-6.

"Chalk one up for the good guys," said Landa. "I'm sure our fans enjoyed that win."
