Gwinnett was eliminated from playoff contention despite beating Charlotte 2-1. With Norfolk's win over Durham, Gwinnett will now finish their season on Labor Day. Mallex Smith reached base on a walk but was caught stealing while Cedric Hunter had a single and a walk. Gwinnett didn't get much going on offense, but it was enough as Victor Mateo shut down Charlotte for 6 innings and the bullpen came on for 3 innings of scoreless relief to lock down the win.
