Luiz Gohara, SP: 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 6.17 ERA
Rio Ruiz’s home run was the key blow for Gwinnett in their win over the Knights. Gwinnett got off to a quick start in the game thanks to a fielding error on the first batter of the game, allowing Phil Gosselin to reach base. The Stripers then loaded the bases and brought in two runs on an RBI ground out and a sacrifice fly. Charlotte pulled even in the third inning but Gwinnett was quick to respond, with Tyler Smith and Rob Brantly both reaching to lead off the top of the 4th inning.
