Carson City Picks Up Another L
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights downed the Carson City Miners, 7-0, at Fighting Knights Field. Niskayuna pitcher Ricky Flores definitely brought his A-game. The Miners, now 43-48, have lost 6 straight.

Alex Marquez had a big 3-run home run for the Fighting Knights in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Niskayuna leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from Victor Duran and swatted a home run to left. It was his 17th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Fighting Knights ahead, 4-0.

"I just try to be a dog, have good swings, good at-bats," said Marquez.
