Tides Beat Knights, 8-5
The Norfolk Tides picked up a win at BB&T Ballpark, knocking off the Charlotte Knights, 8-5. Starting pitcher Konnor Pilkington was a big reason why. Jahari Wallace locked down his 30th save. The second-place Tides have won 4 straight.

Norfolk used the clutch hitting of Bernie Williams II to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Tides the lead, 3-2. For the game, Williams II had 1 single and 1 double in 3 at-bats.

"I like winning," Pilkington told the Norfolk Observer. "I may joke around, but when it comes down to it, winning is the most important thing."
