Casey Blake smacked 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Empire Field as the Vermont Fighting Sioux staged a comeback win over the New York Knights by the count of 11 to 8.

Vermont had the winning rally in the 9th inning when they tallied 4 runs on 3 hits. The big moment was provided by Blake who quieted the crowd when he smacked a three-run homer (his 7th of the season). A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the lead change 6 times.

The win went to J.C. Romero(2-1) who allowed no runs in 1 and 1/3 innings. Rafael Perez(0-1) ended up with the loss in relief. He pitched 1 inning allowing 2 hits and 1 walk.

Mitchell Pak was not very talkative after his team's tough loss. 'I'm not in the mood for questions, but I'm sure Justin Rabidoux will be glad to talk about the game as long as you have questions to ask.'
