Extra-Inning Walk-Off Win for Twins
The Minnesota Twins defeated the Charlotte Knights, 6-4, in Federal League action at Metrodome, with Minnesota designated hitter Kal Daniels named player of the game. Losses have been few and far between for the Knights, who are now 10-4.

Daniels came through with some timely hitting for Minnesota. With the score 4-4 in the bottom of the tenth and no one down, Daniels hit a 1-0 fastball for a 2-run home run. His 5th home run of the season made it 6-4, Minnesota.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Daniels told the Minnesota Daily.
