Fighting Knights Take Down Sunrays, 5-4
The Niskayuna Fighting Knights and Ontario Sunrays obliged fans looking for a good time.

The Niskayuna Fighting Knights polished off the Ontario Sunrays by the score of 5-4. The largest share of the credit belonged to center fielder Heriberto Paula. Paula went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Fighting Knights. Doug DeBauche earned the save for Niskayuna.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Paula delivered big-time for Niskayuna, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Raul Rodriguez. The game-changing hit put the Fighting Knights on top, 5-4.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Ontario manager Sam Story.

The Fighting Knights go to 14-28 with the win.
