Missions Suffer 7-3 Setback
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights picked up a win at Fighting Knights Field, taking down the Montgomery Missions, 7-3. Starting pitcher Juan Zavala was a big reason why. The winner was Zavala. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Jerry Carmona. Picking up his 4th save was 19-year old right-handed pitcher Juan Esquibel.

Julio Vargas had a big 2-run home run for the Fighting Knights in the bottom of the third inning. With Niskayuna leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a splitter from Jerry Carmona, who is tied for 6th in the SL2 with a 7.7 K/9 rate, and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Fighting Knights on top, 4-1.

In comments to the Niskayuna Gazette, Zavala admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."

The Missions, at 63-59, have lost 4 in a row.
