The Knights split their season-opening six-game series with the Norfolk Tides. Charlotte got the best of Norfolk in Sunday's finale thanks to Carlos Pérez's go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning.
Pérez lead the team in hits through the first six games, including two home runs and seven RBIs. The 25-year-old was a standout for the White Sox's Double-A affiliate Birmingham last season before his promotion to Charlotte.
