Super Troopers Topple Fighting Knights, 10-6, as Martinez Shines
The first-place Santa Barbara Super Troopers took on the Niskayuna Fighting Knights in front of a spirited crowd.

Behind a fine performance from Jose Martinez, the Santa Barbara Super Troopers knocked off the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 10-6. Martinez went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Super Troopers. Santa Barbara reliever Steve Burger got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Bernie Suarez was tagged with the loss.

Doug Wagner, who is tied for 4th in the SL2 with a .431 batting average, came through for Santa Barbara with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the sixth. The shortstop went 2 for 5 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 2 RBI.

"You win some, you lose some. I don't get too caught up in all that," said Martinez.

Santa Barbara is now 13-2.
