Niskayuna Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
In a low-scoring tilt between the Niskayuna Fighting Knights and the Mt. Vernon Cyclones, 18-year old right-handed pitcher Mike Winchester was the difference-maker. The Niskayuna right-hander spearheaded the 1-0 win. Niskayuna's record now stands at 40-46, placing them 4th in the Sub League 2 East Division.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Niskayuna. That's when 19-year old catcher Nick Watkins hit a solo home run off Jeff Reade to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"I felt good. I felt like I was locating the ball well and I was able to keep them off-balance," said Winchester.
