It wasn’t the best of seasons for the Charlotte Knights (53-96), but at least they won their season finale in convincing fashion. The 8-2 win was bolstered by a perfect performance from Nick Nastrini. It, literally, was perfect over five innings: 15-up, 15-down, with three strikeouts.
Perfection from Nick Nastrini.
