Batista, Knights Clobber Twins
Knights third baseman Tony Batista put his stamp on his team's 11-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. Batista went 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for Charlotte in the contest. Chris Bosio sewed up the save, his 1st. The last-place Twins have lost 4 consecutive games.

Batista had no bigger at-bat than in the top of the first when the 23-year old third baseman hit a grand slam. The home run gave Charlotte the lead, 5-0. It was his 8th home run of the season.

Batista 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."
