Knights Lose to Cubs, 4-1
Chicago rode a fine outing from starter Brian Holman to victory over the Charlotte Knights at Wrigley Field. The final score was 4-1. Holman, now 1-1, was the winner. In 8.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 5, walking 2, and allowing 1 earned run. The Cubs improve their record to 45-48 with the win over Charlotte.

Mike Piazza, who led the FL in wins above replacement with 8.1 in 1995, chipped in for Chicago with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"Coulda, shoulda, woulda," said Charlotte manager Tyler Vuxta. "We had our chances and didn't cash in."
