An anemic offense, plus a very bad outing from Jason Bilous, conspired to turn this game into a laffer. Hey, just nine games to go, Knights!
Kyle Kubat got things off to a good start for Charlotte, throwing three innings of one-run ball. But on a day that saw just three hits (hey, ALL OF THEM for extra bases) and two walks against 12 Ks, plus 0-for-9 execution with runners in scoring position), Kubat’s start wasn’t going to be enough. And Bilous saw to that, allowing more hits than outs, more walks than outs, and even more runs than outs; all told, six Tides scored (just three earned, due to a bad throw from Zach Remillard).
