  "account": "Noah Schultz delivered a promising rebound start for the Knights, finishing four strong innings after a brief demotion from the parent club. Despite allowing a solo home run and facing criticism, Schultz's effective performance in the second through fourth frames offered hope for the White Sox prospect. Charlotte's scoring started with Mario Camilletti's RBI single in the third inning and Andy Weber's lone home run in the fifth, putting the Red Wings ahead with a narrow 2-1 lead. However, Tyler Davis' subsequent poor outing ultimately proved too much for the Knights, as Rochester took the win.\n\nMeanwhile, the Columbus Barons suffered another disappointing loss to the Birmingham Barons. Caleb Bonemer led the way for Birmingham, combining a triple and a double to provide both of the Barons' runs. The rest of the lineup struggled, combining for just five hits and eight strikeouts. Shane Murphy's shaky start, allowing five runs and three walks, didn't help the Barons' cause as they fell 5-2.\n\nIn a closely contested game, the Winston-Salem Dash maintained a half-game lead in the South Atlantic League South. Kyle Lodise and Shalin Polanco traded runs in the second inning, with Lodise going deep in the fifth. The Dash capitalized on Cholowsky's two-out, two-run line drive in the fifth, and extended their lead in the seventh with additional RBIs. Winston-Salem's strong pitching, highlighted by Lodise's impressive performance, kept them competitive. However, a late-inning slip-up allowed Columbus to take the lead, ultimately resulting in a 4-3 victory for the Dash.\n\nThe Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and Hickory Crawdads battled for third place in the Carolina League South. Fabian Ysalla earned the win for Kannapolis, holding Hickory to six hits, two runs, and a walk over five innings. Grayson Fitzwater and Stiven Flores contributed significantly at the plate, with Flores driving in three runs. Despite limited offensive production, Kannapolis managed a tie with the August GreenJackets for the final playoff spot.",
  "summary": "It’s a mixed bag across the farm, but we can always count on Roch Cholowsky to dazzle — and the DSL to surrender runs",
