Indianapolis Wins to Cut Charlotte Lead to 2-1
Already down in the Round 2, the Indianapolis Indians put on their best show, beating the Charlotte Knights by a final score of 4-1. Melvin Delgado was special. He threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball. Indianapolis now trails Charlotte 2-1 in the best-of-7 affair.

Dustin Sheppard provided a timely hit. The Indianapolis shortstop delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the 11th inning to put the Indians on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Sheppard.

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