White Sox Minor Keys: July 3, 2022

While the White Sox were busy beating up a pitching catcher to close out their blowout over the Giants on Sunday afternoon, the Charlotte Knights beat the Durham Bulls by beating up a pitching catcher in high leverage.

Carlos Pérez recorded the easiest walk-off homer he may ever experience by taking Joe Hudson deep in the 12th inning to give the Knights a 9-8 victory over the Bulls in 12. Durham picked the wrong day for a bullpen game, as Hudson was their eighth "pitcher" of the evening.

Eloy Jiménez also homered from the DH spot.
