FORT MILL -- A night after they blew a six-run lead, the Charlotte Knights weren't about to let history repeat itself as they defeated Pawtucket 9-3 on Tuesday.
Tied 3-3 going into the bottom of the seventh, the Knights exploded for six runs and never looked back. The Knights scored their first three runs on solo home runs by Chris Getz, Fernando Cortez and Brad Eldred. For Eldred, it meant adding to his league-leading RBI total of 54.
Knights starting pitcher -- and former Red Sox starter -- Tomo Ohka pitched well, going six innings, giving up seven hits, three runs and striking out seven PawSox batters on the night.
