The Knights were looking to recover from yesterday’s 7-2 loss to Durham and start a new win streak. This one went into extra innings, but they could not get it done.
Mike Wright, a 31-year-old righthander who played for the NC Dinos of the KBO last year, started on the mound for the Charlotte Knights. Wright’s evening went well, though it did not start out that way. In the bottom of the first, the Bulls got off to an early lead. Durham second baseman Vidal Bruján launched a leadoff home run to put the Knights in an early 1-0 deficit.
