Tapani Sensational for Knights
In a well-pitched game between the Charlotte Knights and the St. Louis Cardinals, pitcher Kevin Tapani was superb. The Charlotte right-hander was named the player of the game in Charlotte's 3-0 win. Todd Worrell picked up the save, his 1st. Charlotte, now 8-5, has gotten their season off to a good start.

Tapani ran roughshod over the St. Louis lineup. The right-hander allowed just 2 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 6. With the victory, he goes to 3-0 on the season.

"That's the key at this level, throwing strike one," said Tapani. "Successful pitchers do it."
