Fighting Knights Win Thriller, 5-3
Niskayuna picked up a win at Fighting Knights Field, bumping off the Ontario Sunrays, 5-3. Pitcher Joe Giunta was a major reason the Fighting Knights emerged victorious. Niskayuna is now 54-55, Ontario 52-57.

Niskayuna got a knockout punch from Elijah Bruce. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Bruce said.
