Bulls Win with Late Heroics
The Durham Bulls clipped the Charlotte Knights, 4-3, in 12 innings at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The standout performance belonged to Durham pitcher and Shreveport, Louisiana, native Chad Maynard. The Bulls raised their record to 31-50.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the 12th for Durham. That's when Arturo Franco hit a solo home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Dave Smiley to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Ron Anderson, the Durham skipper. "This one tested us."
