Knights Raise Rally Flag, Beat Boston, 5-4
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Jason Giambi, the Charlotte Knights defeated the Boston Red Sox, 5-4. Giambi was 2-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Knights. The 4th-place Knights raised their record to 59-58.

Nomar Garciaparra gave Charlotte a good at-bat in the top of the seventh inning. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, he hit a sacrifice fly to help send Charlotte to the win.

Giambi said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
