Fighting Knights Lose at Home, 6-2
Riding the 2-hit performance of the 21-year old first baseman Chris Malay, the Anaheim Music stopped the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 6-2. Anaheim pitcher Nate Billesbach got the win. He's now 1-0. Juan Zavala was tagged with the loss. The win gives the Music a record of 28-54.

Anaheim used a well-timed hit by Chris Reyes to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Music ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Reyes called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
