Salmon Hits 2 home runs in Knights Win
The Charlotte Knights topped the Cincinnati Reds by the score of 5-1, with the largest share of the credit going to right fielder Tim Salmon. Salmon belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Knights. Charlotte leads the Federal League Central Division by 3½ games.

It could have been a different outcome for Charlotte, had it not been for Tony Batista, the former first round draft pick . Batista contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to put Charlotte up, 1-0.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Salmon.
