The Niskayuna Fighting Knights withstood an impressive performance by Newport News shortstop Brian Beason to defeat the Wranglers, 8-2, at Wranglers Stadium. Beason went 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs. Niskayuna reliever Oscar Garcia picked up the win, upping his record to 2-2. Alex Gonzales absorbed the loss. Luis de la Piedra got credit for the save for Niskayuna. It was his 3rd of the year.
