Charlotte Knights News Release
(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) - The Charlotte Knights walked off with a thrilling 6-5 win over the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in 10 innings on Wednesday night from Truist Field in game two of the six-game series.
Heading into the bottom of the 10th inning, the Knights trailed the Jumbo Shrimp by a score of 5-4 after a wild pitch from Charlotte LHP Brandon Finnegan (1-2, 6.92) in the top of the 10th inning. Jacksonville catcher Lorenzo Quintana scored the go-ahead run on the wild pitch to break a 4-4 tie and give the 'Shrimp a 5-4 lead.
Down by a run in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Knights battled back in the final frame to load the bases against Jumbo Shrimp RHP Jeff Brigham (3-2, 3.90). After walking the first two batters in the inning to load the bases, Brigham allowed the game-winning runs to score when Yolbert Sánchez lined a ball through the legs of Jacksonville second Bryson Brigman, who was charged with an error. Center fielder Adam Haseley and pinch-runner Laz Rivera scored the final two runs of the game to propel the Knights to a remarkable walk-off win.
LHP John Parke started the game and allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings. He did not factor in the decision. The Charlotte bullpen was strong on the night, allowing just two runs over the final five innings. Finnegan earned the win for Charlotte in the game.
