The Charlotte Knights battled back from an early deficit to secure a 4-3 victory over the Norfolk Tides. The game featured a few rehab home runs from familiar faces and a controversial call at the plate that could have been a game-changer.
Former Mets’ first-round pick, Justin Dunn, making his first professional appearance since 2023 after recovering from some significant arm injuries, got the start for the Knights. In the top of the third, Gunner Henderson, on a rehab assignment with the Tides, launched a solo home run to give Norfolk a 1-0 lead. Dunn ran into further trouble in the fifth, surrendering another solo shot to Jud Fabian, breaking a 1-1 tie.
