(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) -- The Charlotte Knights dropped the finale of a six-game series against the Memphis Redbirds by a score of 5-1 on Sunday evening from Truist Field in Uptown Charlotte. The loss was Charlotte's fifth in the six-game series.
RHP Chase Solesky (0-6, 7.88) started the finale for the Knights and was charged with the loss. He allowed three runs on five hits over 5.1 innings pitched.
