Fighting Knights Score Late to Upend Missions, 8-6
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights defeated the Montgomery Missions, 8-6, at Missions Grove. Nate Fard was a standout performer for Niskayuna. His 4 hits included 3 singles and 1 double -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 1 he knocked in. Niskayuna, at 45-53, sits in 4th place in the Sub League 2 East Division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Nick Watkins? The Niskayuna catcher had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Fighting Knights on top, 8-6. For the game, Watkins had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Fighting Knights manager Jonathan Anderson. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
