Knights Get One-Run Win at Kansas City
Charlotte shortstop Nomar Garciaparra had a 4-RBI performance, which helped his team grab a 7-6 win over the Kansas City Royals. Ron Robinson was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 1 save opportunities. At 45-46, the Knights find themselves in third place in the Federal League Central Division.

Garciaparra had no bigger at-bat than in the top of the fifth when the 23-year old shortstop hit a 3-run home run. The home run gave Charlotte the lead, 5-1. It was his 16th home run of the season.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Garciaparra.
