Niskayuna starter Jose Moreira throttled the South Pasadena offense, as the Fighting Knights won in a rout, 12-2. Moreira, now 2-2, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 1, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. Juan Gastelo got credit for the save for Niskayuna. It was his 1st of the year.

With Niskayuna leading 2-1 in the top of the sixth, Kikuji Tanaka hit a run-scoring single off South Pasadena pitcher Cody Kucharski. It put the Fighting Knights ahead 3-1.

"I was trying to do what I do, go out there and compete," said Moreira.

With the win, Niskayuna goes to 24-19, while the Air Riders fall to 20-23.
