Charlotte briefly tied the score at 2-2 behind a solo home run from Junior Perez, but Buffalo responded with a surge of runs to pull away. In the other contest, the Birmingham Barons fell 4-1 to the Knoxville Smokies. Birmingham's offense remained quiet for most of the evening, failing to capitalize on a bases-loaded opportunity in the fifth inning.
