Fighting Knights Lose By a Run at Santa Barbara
A 3-RBI performance from Cameron Kovatch, who is tied for 10th in the SL2 in total bases with 169, helped the Santa Barbara Super Troopers beat the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 9-8. Steve Albrecht earned the save for Santa Barbara, his 17th. The Super Troopers, at 66-16, have a comfortable 17-game lead in their division.

The Fighting Knights had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Super Troopers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old shortstop Mike MacPherson came to the plate. MacPherson hit a bases-clearing double on a 2-1 changeup from Niskayuna hurler Mike Winchester. It was MacPherson's 23rd double of the year.

"We're in a little bit of a dry spell," said Niskayuna manager Jonathan Anderson.
