Knights Get Win, Extend Streak to 4
Comiskey Park was the site of a competitive game between the Chicago Cubs and Charlotte Knights.

Charlotte beat Chicago on the strength of starter Scott Bankhead's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a 5-3 win. Charlotte reliever Eric Hillman picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Mike Holtz was saddled with the loss. Tim Burke got the save, his 22nd in 25 chances.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. That's when designated hitter Luis Gonzalez, who finished 4th in the FL in triples with 7 in 1993, hit a single. The Knights went on to win.

"This was a good win," said Gonzalez.

The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Knights.
