Alpines Fall Short, 6-5, at Niskayuna
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights defeated the Savannah Alpines, 6-5, at Fighting Knights Field. Leading the charge for Niskayuna was first baseman Mike Seals. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The win belonged to Bill Castro in relief. His record improves to 5-9. Casey Thill took the loss for Savannah. Niskayuna sits in 5th place in the Sub League 2 East Division at 64-71.

Tommie Tepper was 2-4 with 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs for Niskayuna. The 18-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring single off Casey Thill. It was his 15th hit of the season.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Tepper. "And not try to do too much."
