Fighting Knights Win, 4-3, Versus Savannah
Juan Bravo propelled his team to victory over the Savannah Alpines. The final score was 4-3, Niskayuna. Niskayuna reliever Carlos del Valle got the win, raising his record to 3-2. Jonathan Reeher was tagged with the loss. Niskayuna is now 29-29, while Savannah is 28-30.

Niskayuna used the timely hitting of Ben Borch to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Fighting Knights on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I felt good up there," said Borch. "I saw the ball well."
