The Niskayuna Fighting Knights knocked off the Wichita Panthers, 16-5, at Fighting Knights Field. Felix Castillo was a big reason Niskayuna won. The center fielder went 3 for 5 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 5. Niskayuna now has a record of 54-51 with the win.

Josh Chadwick, who is tied for 9th in the SL2 in triples with 4, aided the Niskayuna cause with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the second. For the game, the right fielder drew 1 walk in 6 trips to the plate.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Chadwick.
