Charlotte Knights 6, Memphis Redbirds 2 (Gameday box) (Statcast box)
Sure enough, after a tight loss and blowout to start the season 0-2, Charlotte bristled up for a win to get on the board and build some momentum for Tuesday’s home opener.
Non-traditional (first baseman) leadoff man Zach Remillard opened the contest with a single for the second time in three games, and that triggered a rally fueled by just two more singles among safeties and RBIs from Oscar Colás (sac fly) and Wynton Bernard (two-run single).
And amazingly, given the weak spots on the pitching staff in the first two games, that was all the Knights would need to score on Sunday.
