The Durham Bulls (42-34) took down the Charlotte Knights (27-49) 9-8 on Friday at Truist Field. With the win, Durham skipper Brady Williams tallied his 900th win of his managerial career.

Charlotte responded in the fifth as CF Mark Payton tattooed an RBI single to cut the Bulls lead to one. In the sixth, Durham LF Ryan Boldt went yard on a solo shot for the 3-1 advantage. Later in the inning, Aranda found his way back to home plate off of a wild pitch, 1B Jim Haley clubbed a two-run single, DH Ford Proctor scored on another Charlotte wild pitch and Aranda got his third hit of the night on an RBI single to round out the seven-run inning.

Charlotte would respond with a seven-run inning of their own in the eighth. C Carlos Perez and 2B Yolbert Sanchez connected on RBI singles to cut the lead to 9-3. RF Micker Adolfo went yard on a three-run shot and three batters later, Payton went the distance on a two-run shot to trim the lead to one.
