Knights Turn Back Milwaukee, 7-6
Ken Caminiti did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Milwaukee Creams from losing, 7-6, to the Charlotte Knights at Milwaukee County Stadium. Caminiti went 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times. Tim Burke was called on to finish, recording his 1st save. The win gives the Knights a record of 1-1.

The outcome might have been different for Charlotte, had it not been for Chuck Knoblauch, the 28-year old second baseman . Knoblauch stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Charlotte up, 7-1. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Knoblauch told the Charlotte Daily News.
