Charlotte Defeated by Durham, 5-1
The first-place Durham Bulls took on the Charlotte Knights in front of a spirited crowd.

Durham turned a good effort from starter Brad Thompson into a win over the Charlotte Knights at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The final score was 5-1. The winner was Thompson. He threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Phil Childress.

Bob Hoffman had a big 2-run double for the Bulls in the bottom of the third inning. With Durham leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a curveball from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Phil Childress and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bulls ahead, 3-0.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Hoffman. "But I like how we're playing right now."

Durham goes to 8-2 with the win.
