Tries from Dane Manning, Luke Hooley and Adam Gledhill helped the visitors to a slender 18-16 lead at half-time, with Luke Briscoe touching down twice and James Lockwood also crossing in reply.
The second period remained equally tight with Hooley and Jack Broadbent trading tries but James Meadows went over 10 minutes from time to seal it Batley.

The City Knights led 30-0 at the break after a double from AJ Towse and further tries from Jordan Thompson, Jamie Ellis and Bailey Antrobus.
