Senior left-hander J.T. Killen shut down the powerful Myers Park attack Monday, leading Charlotte Christian to a 2-0 victory in the opening day of the Jack Sink Classic at Myers Park.
In a battle of Charlotte high school baseball powers, Killen made the difference, pitching one-hit ball and striking out 11 over six innings. Matt Mayers pitched the final inning for the Knights, now 16-4 on the season.
J.D. Suarez had the only RBI for the Knights, who scored both their runs in the third inning.
