Fighting Knights Rally Late to Clip Montgomery
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights beat the Montgomery Missions, 4-3, at Fighting Knights Field. Nate Fard, in particular, was impressive. He went 1-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. With the win, Niskayuna upped its record to 69-62.

Niskayuna got a knockout punch from Ken Beck. The third baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This place was electric at the end," Fard said.
