RHP J.B. Olson started for the Knights and did not allow a run in his only inning of work. For Olson, it was his fifth start in Charlotte's last 12 games played. LHP Hunter Schryver (2-0, 3.00) came on to pitch the second inning and allowed just one hit over a scoreless inning. He earned the win on Saturday. In all, the Knights used nine pitchers combined to hold the WooSox to just two runs on nine hits.
