With Late Score, Athletics Beat Knights
The New Jersey Athletics withstood a fine game by Ohio second baseman Hiromitsu Hashimoto at Huntington Park, to upend the Knights, 5-4. Hashimoto was 2 for 3 with a home run and a double. Bryant Hawbaker picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-2. Cody Messina suffered the loss. New Jersey occupies third place in the Patriot League North at 62-66.

The Athletics beat the Knights in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Jerry Ayala produced in the top of the eighth. Batting against Cody Messina, Ayala gave his team the lead, 5-4, when he hit a run-scoring single.

"I have a job to do," Ayala said, "and I did it."
