Third baseman Jake Burger, shortstop Lenyn Sosa and right fielder Blake Rutherford all tallied three hits in the game. Rutherford also led the Knights with four RBIs.
LHP Bennett Sousa (2-1, 4.05) earned the win out of the Charlotte bullpen after he tossed a scoreless ninth inning for the Knights. One inning later, RHP Lane Ramsey loaded the bases in the 10th inning, but Santiago Chavez grounded out to end the game. The Jumbo Shrimp brought the tying run to second base and the winning run to first base in the 10th before Ramsey earned his fourth save of the season.
