FORT MILL, S.C. - April 12, 2007 - A wild pitch helped Charlotte in game one 5-4, while the Chiefs let their bats do the work in winning game two 7-2. Charlotte won the series 3-1 just as they did against Syracuse in 2006 at home.

Luis Terrero hit his fourth home run of the season with a three-run blast. Pedro Lopez singled to score Josh Fields to give the Knights a 4-0 lead. The Chiefs came back by hitting three consecutive home runs off Knights Starter Charlie Haeger (0-0, 5.25 ERA) including a two-run shot by Kevin Barker and a solo home run by Sal Fasano to tie the game at 4-4.
In the bottom of the ninth, with Casey Rogowski on third, Syracuse's Blaine Neal (0-1, 0.00 ERA) threw a wild pitch that sent Rogowski home for the win. It was the Knights fourth win in a row.
The second game saw the Chiefs cruise to a 7-2 win as Syracuse scored five in the top of the 7th including home runs by Ryan Roberts and John-Ford Griffin.
The Knights head off on an eight-game road trip beginning in Rochester on Friday. RHP Gavin Floyd (0-0, 1.52 ERA) will start for the Knights, while RHP Jeremy Cummings (0-0, 0.00 ERA) takes the mound for the Red Wings. Game time is 7:05 p.m.
