Spiders Prevail, 10-8, Over Charlotte
Spiders right fielder Bernard Gilkey put his stamp on his team's 10-8 win over the Charlotte Knights. Gilkey went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs for Cleveland in the contest. Sterling Hitchcock got the win, improving to 7-5. He pitched 7.1 innings, giving up 6 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 12 and walking 4. Cleveland has now won 3 straight, while the Knights have lost 3 in a row.

Gilkey contributed a productive at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With the bases empty, he hit a solo home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Cleveland get the win.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Gilkey, "but we got it done."
