Fighting Knights Drop Sunrays, 14-3
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights did not need a flawless effort from starter Jesus Garcia, not with their offense hitting on all cylinders. Niskayuna dispatched the Ontario Sunrays, 14-3. The third-place Fighting Knights sport a record of 56-53.

Niskayuna used a well-timed hit by Danny Baker to capture the win. The pinch hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Fighting Knights ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it was important.

Said Ontario manager Sam Story after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."
