On Thursday, the Triple-A Charlotte Knights headlined an exciting night on the farm that included their 5-4 comeback win over the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, and a Winston-Salem Dash 6-1 victory over the Brooklyn Cyclones. Charlotte received huge, clutch solo home runs from Victor Reyes in the 8th inning and Stephen Piscotty in the ninth. Reyes’ game-tying homerun was his ninth of the year, and Piscotty’s game-winner was his third of the year. With the thrilling triumph, the Knights have now won five in a row and have finally reached the elusive .500 mark (24-24)!
