NotesOver 40 former Charlotte O’s players, coaches, and staff members will be on hand for tonight’s Charlotte O’s Tribute. The O's played in Charlotte from 1976 to 1987 and were the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. ... Tonights starter for Charlotte, Scott Carroll is yet to allow an earned run in 19 innings pitched this season. ... Prior to yesterday's 0 for 4, Josh Phegley had reached base safely in 16 straight games for the Knights, a streak which began June 28, 2013.
