The Norfolk Tides went down to defeat to Jesús Martínez and his Charlotte teammates. The final score was 3-1, in favor of the Knights. The winning pitcher was Martínez, now 4-1.

The Knights got a big at-bat from shortstop Waylon McFergus. For the game, McFergus went 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 9th home run of the season gave Charlotte a 2-0 lead.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said McFergus. "And not try to do too much."

The Knights improved their record to 39-42 by beating Norfolk.
