Nashville Sounds News Release
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Edwin Maysonet hit a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Nashville Sounds a 4-3 victory over the Albuquerque Isotopes on Monday night at Greer stadium.
The last at-bat victory was Nashville's 15th of the season, which also snapped a four-game losing streak.
With the scored tied at 3-3 entering the bottom of the ninth, outfielder Khris Davis worked a leadoff walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, advanced to third on a infield groundout, and came home on Maysonet's hit to score the game-winning run in his Sounds debut.
Albuquerque jumped out to a 1-0 lead as Elian Herrera opened the contest with a soft line drive single. The shortstop moved to second on a groundout, advanced to third on a fly out, and scored on Jerry Sands RBI single.
Nashville quickly went ahead in the next inning, beginning with a double down the third base line by second baseman Eric Farris. Next batter Caleb Gindl then jacked his eighth homer of the season over the right field wall.
The Isotopes tied the game at 2-2 in the visiting half of the third thanks to a Tim Federowicz RBI double.
Both teams traded runs in the seventh. Tyler Henson began the frame with a leadoff walk, moved to third on a couple of infield groundouts, and scored on a soft flair to the outfield by Elian Herrera.
Jordan Brown began the bottom of the seventh with a leadoff walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, advanced to third on a bunt combined with a fielding error, and scored as pinch hitter Sean Halton hit a deep sacrifice fly to center.
Nashville starter Claudio Vargas pitched a quality start in a no-decision, allowing three runs on eight hits in seven innings of work.
Fautino De Los Santos pitched a scoreless frame in his Sounds debut. With runners on first and second and no outs, Juan Perez (2-0) escaped a jam for a scoreless ninth for the victory.
Albuquerque starter Fernando Nieve struck out a season-high eight batters in seven innings while giving up three runs (two earned) in a no-decision. Luis Vasquez (0-1) took the loss.
The Sounds conclude their homestand and wrap up their season series with the Isotopes at 7:05 pm CT on Tuesday night at Greer Stadium. Right-hander Wily Peralta (6-9, 4.92) makes the start for Nashville against Albuquerque righty Will Savage (10-4, 5.47).
