Knights Win, 7-5, Versus Durham
The Charlotte Knights beat the Durham Bulls, 7-5, at BB&T Stadium. The win was due in part to second baseman Luis Mejia, who went 2-3 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI. Pat Poe picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Brendan Cline was tagged with the loss. Dave Smiley wrapped it up, recording his 2nd save.

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native Luis Mejia had a clutch at-bat in the bottom of the eighth for the Knights. With Charlotte trailing 5-4, he hit a 2-run single.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Durham manager Ron Anderson.

The Bulls, now 28-45, have lost 4 in a row.
