Knights Drop Creams with Late Score
The Charlotte Knights beat the Milwaukee Creams, 8-2, at Milwaukee County Stadium. The win was largely due to the efforts of first baseman Jason Giambi, who captured player of the game honors. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Reliever Tim Burke picked up the win. His record improves to 5-3. Rob Murphy took the loss. The third-place Knights raised their record to 86-76.

Charlotte shortstop Nomar Garciaparra helped the Knights go up, 3-1, in the top of the eighth inning. With the game tied, Garciaparra hit a 2-run home run off Milwaukee pitcher Rob Murphy.

"We did a lot of things right," said Garciaparra.
