The Durham Bulls defeated the Charlotte Knights, 6-5, at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Sam Bove, who is tied for 4th in the IL in bases on balls with 47, was a standout performer for Durham. His 3 hits included 2 singles and 1 double -- this in addition to the 1 run he scored and 1 he knocked in. Charlotte, at 56-57, has lost 4 straight.

Bob Hoffman was the walk-off hero for Durham. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bulls left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This place went bananas," Bove said.
