Mike Porzio: 4.1 IP 8 H 5 ER WEDNESDAY – MAY 14th The Columbus Clippers beat the Charlotte Knights 7-3 Wednesday on Wednesday night. Aaron Miles went 3-5 with two of the Knights three runs scored.

THURSDAY – May 15th The Highly regarded Drew Henson had a solo home run as the Columbus Clippers beat the Charlotte Knights 6-2 Thursday in an International League game. It was the Knights' sixth straight loss. Ross Gload hit a solo home run in the second inning to pull Charlotte within one. The Knights' only other run came off a Joe Borchard RBI ground out. FRIDAY – May 16th Jon Adkins and a pair of relievers combined on an eight-hit shutout as the Charlotte Knights defeated the Columbus Clippers, 5-0. Aaron Miles put the Knights up for good in this game with a single in the third inning. Cliff Brumbaugh drilled a two-run shot to put the game away and end a six game winless streak. SATURDAY – May 17th Jorge Nunez drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Charlotte Knights edged the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons, 3-2. After Scott Morgan walked to lead off the inning and was bunted to second base by Steve Morales, Nunez ripped his second hit of the game into center field to win the game. Gary Majewski (2-1) earned the win, giving up a run over three innings pitched. SUNDAY – May 18th On Sunday, the Charlotte Knights played a double header against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons. In game one, Felix Diaz (2-4) allowed five hits in six innings, including solo home runs in the Knights 5-0 loss. In the second game, four un-earned runs were all the Knights need for their 4-3 win over SWB. Brian West (1-0) retired 11 of the last 12 batters he faced, and left after five innings with the lead, which was good enough to earn himself his first win on the season MONDAY – May 19th The Knights were Idle on this day. TUESDAY – May 20th The Knights were out hit 16-2 during this game, yet held a 1-0 lead going into the ninth inning, when Edwin Almonte (0-2) blew his second game on the season en route to a 2-1 loss against the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre RedBarons. Brian Cooper pitched 6 1/3 innings and gave up 10 hits, yet left the game without yielding a run. This bizarre game ended what was a disappointing week for Charlotte in which they dropped a game under .500 at 21 – 22.

May 23, 200322 yr Charlotte going downhill fast. Very disappointing. Barons have been on a roll, Backman doing some kind of job with only a decent pitching staff (good pen) and nothing for everyday players. Winston-Salem playing well too, best everyday players in system with Yan, Reed and Spidale (and Lackaff if he was not hurt). Independent pickup, Becker, hitting well. Decent pitching too, addition of Stumm will help the pen. Kannapolis, good pen really helps the staff, ok lineup with Webster, Varela, but Andy Gonzalez is really struggling.
