Loss Tarnishes Fine Performance by Casperson
Despite a great performance by Ontario shortstop Larry Casperson, the Niskayuna Fighting Knights defeated the Sunrays by the score of 12-11 at Sunrays Field. Casperson went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Juan Esquibel earned the save for Niskayuna, his 1st of the year. The defeat makes Ontario 25-77.

Niskayuna used the hitting of Carlos Malabranca to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a grand slam home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Fighting Knights on top, 12-7. For the game, Malabranca had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Malabranca, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
