Knights Win in Extras
The Charlotte Knights stopped the Minnesota Twins, 6-4, at Metrodome. The Knights got a big game from Nomar Garciaparra, who was 2-5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The win was credited to Bret Saberhagen in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Paul Spoljaric took the loss. The Knights, now 11-4, have played some good baseball in the early going.

Garciaparra went 2 for 5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for Charlotte. With the game tied in the top of the tenth inning, Garciaparra, who is tied for 8th in the FL in total bases with 33, had a clutch at-bat. That's when he hit a 2-run home run to give the Knights a 6-4 lead.

"Exciting game to play in," said Garciaparra. "Getting the win makes it even better."
