Knights Hand Lehigh Valley 6-5 Loss
Thanks in large part to designated hitter Tony Lucero, the Charlotte Knights beat the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, 6-5. Lucero went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Joe Dyer collected his 4th save. Now 5-7, the IronPigs have not played well this season.

With a runner on 1st and no one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, pinch hitter Tony Smith delivered big for the Knights. Charlotte was trailing 5-3 when he belted a 2-run home run.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Lehigh Valley manager John Valentin.
