(LOUISVILLE, KY) -- The Charlotte Knights dropped the finale of a six-game series against the Louisville Bats by a score of 4-3 from Louisville Slugger Field in Louisville, KY on Sunday afternoon. The Knights rallied in the top of the ninth inning, scoring two runs against the Louisville bullpen to tie the game at 3-3.

First baseman Tim Elko extended his hitting streak to nine consecutive games in the loss on Sunday. Elko went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored. He scored the first of Charlotte’s two runs in the top of the ninth inning on an RBI single by shortstop Colson Montgomery. Charlotte’s second run in the top of the ninth, which tied the game at 3-3, came on an RBI single off the bat of center fielder Rafael Ortega. In all, the Knights tallied three runs on six hits in the game six loss. Right fielder Oscar Colás had two hits on the afternoon.

Charlotte righty Sean Burke started the game on Sunday and allowed one run on two hits over 3.2 innings pitched.
