  Knights scoreless ever since three-run first inning. Hit batter on game's opening pitch, two walks and B. Vardion (2bh, 2bi) double and C. Cartier rbi single put Cortland in early hole. Dragons tie with two-run third inning and one in the fifth. Groundouts and Clarkson throwing error account for runs.

   Knight leftfielder D. Harris' sliding inning-ending catch in the eighth saves perhaps a Cortland winning run. Dragons strand 10, Knights 11.
