The home crowd came to cheer on their first-place Savannah Alpines.

Good production from catcher Pael Espanol helped the Savannah Alpines topple the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 15-3. Espanol went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Alpines. Bill Blom picked up the win, lifting his record to 4-4 on the season. He struck out 7 and walked 0 in 7.1 innings, while yielding 3 runs.

The Alpines got an important contribution from center fielder Rafael Farrand, who in the bottom of the second hit a fastball to right for a 3-run home run. It was his 15th home run of the season and put the Alpines ahead, 5-0.

Niskayuna manager Gabe Ludwigsen said: "We'll rinse this one off and get ready for the next game."

Savannah bumps their record to 67-57 with the win.
