Crowds lined up early in front of BB&T Stadium, eagerly awaiting the start of the 2026 International League season. On the mound was Eric Cartwright for the visiting Durham Bulls and Jim Miller for the hometown Charlotte Knights. In a spirited contest, the Knights pulled out the win, defeating the Bulls by the score of 3-2. Especially impressive was Jim Miller. Charlotte reliever Joe Dyer picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Brendan Cline was tagged with the loss.

Wes Stevens was the walk-off hero for Charlotte. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Knights third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Jim pitched his heart out," said Charlotte manager Jason Boyd.
