CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Knights took to Truist Field in front of their biggest crowd of the season, at an official attendance of 9,615. Coming off of their third straight win against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the Knights sent righthander Jonathan Stiever to the mound.
Lauded as having the best curveball in the White Sox system according to Baseball America, Stiever, the 6´2´´ native of Cedarburg, Wis., has been a consistent part of the Knights rotation this year. After a five-inning outing against the Durham Bulls saw him come away with a loss in his last outing, Stiever aimed to bounce back on Friday night against Jacksonville.
