The Charlotte Stone Crabs beat the St. Lucie Mets, 8-5, at Charlotte Sports Park. The win was due in part to third baseman Mark Brown, who went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5. Jake Gaston, the winning pitcher, improved to 3-1. He pitched 7.1 innings, giving up 5 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 1. The 4th-place Stone Crabs have won 5 straight.

Early in the game, Brown had a 2-run home run for Charlotte. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Stone Crabs on top, 3-1.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Brown. "It sure beats the alternative."
