It was a busy day down in the White Sox farm system, as the bats came alive. For the Knights, Mark Payton drove in the first and last run of Game 1 and continued to rake in Game 2. Down in Double-A, Wilfred Veras had one of the best games of his career, as he mashed two home runs and swiped a bag for good measure. Meanwhile, slugger George Wolkow hit his first home run since being promoted to Low-A Kannapolis.
