Charlotte lost 3-2. Josh Stewart and lasted only 2 innings after being hit by a line drive. Bullpen (Munoz, Fields, Sanders and Bajenaru) performed well but Fields was hung with the loss as the Knights could do little against the Braves top pitching prospect, Kyle Davies. Borchard Watch: 1-4, 2Ks .193. Toca: 1-4, solo homer his 5th.
Prior to the game the Chicago White Sox/Charlotte Knights released IF Brian Becker and signed IF Greg Norton (!).
