Knights Clip Cardinals in Tight Contest
The Charlotte Knights saddled the St. Louis Cardinals with a loss at Busch Stadium. The final score was 7-5. Barry Bonds, named player of the game, was 3 for 5, including 2 singles and 1 home run. The Charlotte left fielder scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Knights have hit the ground running, raising their record to 19-9. While it's still too soon to talk about Charlotte hoisting their 1st World Series trophy, fans are getting excited about their strong start.

With runs few and far between, the Knights had to seize their opportunities when they came. One of the most important chances for Charlotte came in the top of the fifth inning, when first baseman Jeff Bagwell delivered a run-scoring single. The single was hit off Jay Tibbs and made the score 4-3, Knights. Bagwell was 1 for 4 with a walk.

Bagwell told a Charlotte Bulletin reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
