In his first BB&T game, Micah Johnson is proving to be
worth the price of admission. With two outs and Blake Tekotte on second, Johnson
worked the count full before doubling on a groundball to center that would have
been a single for anyone else.
Johnson then came around to score on a single by Carlos Sanchez,
who moved to SS to make room for Johnson at second. Josh Phegley then stepped
to the plate and put the Knights up one with his 5th home run of the
season.
End of 4th: Charlotte Knights 0, Norfolk Tides 3 – With one down, Cord Phelps lined a single past a diving Matt Davidson. Peguero followed with an infield single of his own and the two advanced to second and third on a bouncer back to the pitcher off the bat of Brett Wallace.
Steve Lombardozzi then knocked in two with a jam shot to
center, before being picked off first by Surkamp to end the inning.
Gausman hit 96 on the BB&T BallPark radar gun several
times on his way to sending Danks, Davidson and Hernandez down in order.
End of 3rd: Charlotte Knights 0, Norfolk Tides 1 – After getting Buck Britton to fly to center to begin things, Surkamp missed inside and over the plate to Brian Ward, who gave the Tides the lead with his second home run of the season.
The Knights’ southpaw recovered to pick up K’s No. 5 (Julio
Borbon, swinging) and 6 (Weeks, looking for the second time) to end the inning.
Charlotte left them loaded. After Blake Tekotte (single) and
Dan Black (BB) each reached to begin the inning, Jared Mitchell K’d for the 53rd
time in 34 games. Micah Johnson then picked up his first single at BB&T
BallPark to load the bases, but Gausman got Carlos Sanchez (shallow fly to
center) and Josh Phegley (pop to third) to escape.
The hit for Johnson extended his hitting streak to six
games. Since being promoted from Double-A Birmingham on May 13, Johnson had hit
in six of seven games overall.
End of 2nd: Charlotte Knights 0, Norfolk Tides 0 – Surkamp struck out the side. It took him eight total pitches to get Francisco Peguero and Brett Wallace looking, before Steve Lombardozzi lasted long enough to see 10 pitches.
Gausman fanned Jordan Danks before getting Matt Davidson and
Gorkys Hernandez to bounce out. The former No. 4 pick in the 2012 draft has not
allowed a run in 16.1 innings with the Tide.
End of 1st: Charlotte Knights 0, Norfolk Tides 0 – Eric Surkamp caught Jemile Weeks looking to begin the game. After Ivan De Jesus singled up the middle, Cord Phelps lined into a double play.
Baltimore Orioles No. 2 prospect, Kevin Gausman sent the
Knights down in order in the first. Micah Johnson lined to left in his first
BB&T at-bat. Carlos Sanchez bounced to first and Josh Phegley chased a
changeup.
