Notes: The largest Knights’ crowd ever was 15,591 and it came on July 4, 2008. Hearing that record may be in jeopardy tonight. … Charlotte is 6-7 against Norfolk this season, but has lost each of its last three meetings. … Tyler Saladino has feasted on Tides pitching this season, hitting .394 (13-for-33) with seven runs scored and four RBIs in nine games. … Tonight’s starter, Dylan Axelrod, is 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA and 17 K’s in three games (two starts) against Norfolk this season. ... And, oh yeah, Happy 4th!
