Went, Music Too Much for Fighting Knights
In a high-scoring contest between Anaheim and Niskayuna, first baseman Aaron Went was a difference-maker. Went, the 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft, distinguished himself in the 11-8 Anaheim win. He went 3 for 3 with a home run, a triple, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Miguel Martinez earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record is now 4-3. The 5th-place Music improved to 49-80.

Bryan McMahon came through for Anaheim with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the third. The third baseman went 2 for 5 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 3 RBI.

"Wish we'd had more wins to celebrate like this one," said McMahon.
