Round 1 Game 1 Goes to Charlotte, Thanks to Houston
The Charlotte Knights started the Round 1 in style, downing the visiting Syracuse Chiefs at BB&T Stadium by a score of 19-2 to grab an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Knights right fielder Brian Houston went 5 for 5 with a double, 4 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3.

Joey Simpson chipped in a 3-run home run for Charlotte in the bottom of the second. For the game, the second baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 3 runs scored, and 4 RBI.

"That was unacceptable," barked losing manager Phil Burkel, post-game, to no one in particular.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at BB&T Stadium in Ft. Mill.
