Spiders Stumble, Lose to Knights
The Charlotte Knights trumped the Cleveland Spiders, 12-3, at League Park. Charlotte first baseman Jason Giambi was named player of the game for his performance. He was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The slumping Spiders have dropped 6 in a row.

In the top of the first, Giambi pounced on a 1-2 fastball from Bret Saberhagen and hit a 2-run home run. It put Charlotte on top, 2-0.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Charlotte manager Tyler Vuxta.
