Fighting Knights Capture Close Win
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights faced a tough opponent in Santa Barbara pitcher Roy Garcia, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Car Ramrod Park by a final score of 4-3. Garcia went 6.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Oscar Garcia earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2.1 innings. His record is now 1-0. Juan Esquibel recorded the save, his 3rd.

Niskayuna used a clutch hit from Toshiaki Ogura to snatch the win. The second baseman belted a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Fighting Knights ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Niskayuna manager Jonathan Anderson. "It's usually not just one thing."

After today's action, Niskayuna sits at 38-45, while Santa Barbara falls to 66-17.
