It was an explosive day for White Sox affiliates, highlighted by Triple-A Charlotte’s 21-run outburst in a blowout win over Gwinnett. Mario Camilletti stole the show with a perfect 5-for-5 performance that included two homers, while Oliver Dunn, Jacob Gonzalez, Michael Turner, Korey Lee, and Dru Baker all went deep as the Knights piled up 24 hits.
Double-A Birmingham also had the offense rolling in an 11-4 victory, with homers from Braden Montgomery, Wilfred Veras, and Andy Weber. Jacob Burke reached base four times, and starting pitcher Lucas Gordon struck out eight across six innings.
Despite strong relief work from Seth Keener and Morris Austin, who combined for 10 strikeouts over 6.1 innings, High-A Winston-Salem couldn’t come out on the right side of their high-scoring affair. Kannapolis edged Augusta 3-2 thanks to six strong innings from Max Banks and dominant bullpen work from Pierce George and Anthony Patterson III, while the ACL White Sox were shut out in their season opener despite solid relief appearances from Phil Fox and Reinder Gomez.
