Air Riders Handle Fighting Knights, Nab 5-4 Win
The South Pasadena Air Riders and Niskayuna Fighting Knights obliged fans hoping for an exciting game.

The South Pasadena Air Riders beat the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 5-4, at Air Riders Ballpark. The win was due in part to first baseman Dillon O'Neill, who went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Jon Ramirez sewed up the save, his 2nd.

O'Neill had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 2-1 fastball from Carlos del Valle, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Air Riders a 5-3 lead. It was the 6th home run of the year for O'Neill.

"We found a way to get it done," O'Neill said.

The Air Riders now have a mark of 20-22.
