August 23, 2012 - International League (IL1)
Pawtucket Red Sox News Release
Former Red Sox outfielder Conor Jackson belted a fourth inning, two run homer against Zach Stewart and that was enough to power the Southern leading Charlotte Knights to a 2-1 win over Pawtucket on Thursday night in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Stewart took the defeat despite pitching 7 strong innings, scattering 4 hits and striking out 4. The loss drops Stewart to 3-5 and the PawSox to 71-62 with eleven games remaining on the schedule. Lehigh Valley also lost, so Pawtucket maintains a half game advantage in the WIld Card chase.
The lone PawSox run scored in the fourth as Andy LaRoche doubled and came around on a base hit by catcher Dan Butler. Charlie Leesman (12-9, 2.46) got the win, working 6 innings.
The series continues on Friday night at 7:15 p.m. Matt Zaleski (5-5) faces Chris Hernandez (1-3).
