The Knights hit the ball hard all game, but underwhelming pitching doomed them against the Durham Bulls. Recent addition Kean Wong notched a solid three hits in the losing effort from the 9-spot in the order, as one of the few bright spots for Charlotte. Starter Chase Soleky was solid in the early going, but got hit hard in the middle innings. He was saddled with the loss in a 4 1⁄3 -inning, eight-run debacle. Two runs would wind up being all the Knights had to show for all the hard contact they made, as they failed to launch the ball out of the park and routinely left runners in scoring position.
