Eastern League South

Charlotte 3, Alabama 2. Frank Viola (8-5, 4.01) threw eight innings of four-hit, two-run ball as Charlotte won a game it desperately needed. Oscar Gamble’s fifth inning SAC Fly off Vic Willis (14-13, 3.74) broke a 2-2 tie and Viola and Bryan Harvey, who earned his 43rd save, made it stand up. Charlotte wraps up the season with four games in Orlando. Alabama heads to Memphis for five games, one a makeup from an earlier rainout.

Western League South

San Antonio 5, Los Angeles 4. The Lightning’s three homers weren’t enough to offset a pair of homers from Jackie Robinson, who now has 22 and drove in three runs as well as the Stallions play spoiler. Bill Donovan (9-12, 4.24) went seven innings for the win and Greg Holland picked up his 21st save. Danny Litwhiler (9), Rick Burleson (6) and Andy Pafko (15) homered for Los Angeles in the loss.

New Orleans 8, Phoenix 7 (17 innings). If you are a believer in the New Orleans Knights’ September rally, this game is your reward. Phoenix led 3-1 going into the bottom of the 8th after seven innings of one-run ball from John Thomson. But New Orleans scratched across a run in the 8th and Matt Carpenter hit his seventh homer of the season with one out in the ninth against Jose Valverde to tie it and send it to extras. The Scorpions scored three in the top of the 11th but Trea Turner hit a three-run shot in the bottom of the 11th off Diego Segui - Turner’s sixth homer of the season - the tie it again. When Phoenix scored in the top of the 14th, Harry Heilmann answered in the bottom of the 14th with an RBI double to knot the score for a third time. Then with two outs in the bottom of the 17th, Heilmann - the face of the Knights since inception and a somewhat forgotten man in the ABL due to New Orleans’ struggles, hit an RBI single off Juan Berenguer to score Milt May for his fifth hit of the game and the walkoff win in front of 38,432 - who pretty much all stayed for the 6 hour, 42 minute affair that gave New Orleans, incredibly, a series sweep and a share of first place. New Orleans closes at home against Los Angeles, while Phoenix hosts San Antonio.
