3-0 Win by Knights Continues Hot Start
Charlotte Knights starter Tony Saunders turned in a top-notch performance against the Minnesota Twins at Comiskey Park. The result was a win for the Knights, 3-0. Saunders, now 5-2, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 7, walking 2, and allowing no earned runs. Getting the save was Teddy Higuera, his 1st.

Barry Bonds was 2 for 3 with 2 singles for Charlotte. The ten-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Rob Dibble. It was his 31st RBI of the season.

"It feels good to get this one," Bonds told the Charlotte Bulletin.

The second-place Knights have won 5 straight.
