The minor league regular season comes to a close for the four full-season White Sox affiliates, and Charlotte will need help to play beyond today.
The Knights are tied with the Durham Bulls at 75-63. However, Durham owns the tiebreaker, so the Knights need to beat Norfolk along with a Gwinnett victory over Durham in order to keep their season alive.
Both games start at 1:05 p.m., so the unusually invested Jason Benetti and Steve Stone should be able to deliver the good or bad news for fans during tonight's broadcast.
