The Bulls scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning to take an early 3-0 lead over the Knights. The inning was highlighted by a two-run single from Durham first baseman Austin Shenton. All three runs in the frame were charged to RHP Nick Nastrini (0-5, 6.48), who started Friday's game for the Knights.

The Bulls added two more runs against Nastrini on a C.J. Hinojosa two-run home run in the fourth inning. In all, Nastrini allowed five runs on four hits over four innings. He was charged with the loss in his first start since being optioned back to Charlotte from the Chicago White Sox.
