Charlotte first baseman Tony Smith helped his team beat the Norfolk Tides, 7-2. Smith, who is tied for 10th in the IL in home runs with 16, went 2 for 3 for the Knights. Ron Stewart, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 13-6. The Knights, at 67-74, inhabit third place in the South Division.

With Charlotte leading 1-0 in the bottom of the third, Smith hit a knuckle curve from Al Rucker for a run-scoring triple. It was his 3rd triple of the season and put the Knights ahead, 2-0.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Smith said. "That's why you play the game."
