Perez went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Knights. At 43-43, the Knights find themselves in third place in the Federal League Central Division.

Luis Gonzalez had an important at-bat with one out in the bottom of the eighth, when he hit a run-scoring triple. His 2nd triple of the season put Charlotte on top, 5-4.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Perez.
