Knights Rally to Nose Past Gwinnett
BB&T Stadium was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Charlotte Knights and Gwinnett Firebirds.

The Charlotte Knights took Gwinnett pitcher Doug Carey's best shot and still were able to claim a win at BB&T Stadium. The final score had Charlotte getting past the Firebirds, 3-2. Carey went 7.2 innings and allowed no runs, striking out 10. The winner in relief was Cristiano Rodríguez. He is now 2-0. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Charlotte pinch hitter Raúl Ruíz, facing T.J. Crane, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Knights the 3-2 win.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Gwinnett manager Jason Bourgeois.

The win elevated the Knights to 56-53.
