Gwinnett Stripers News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - One night after scoring 11 runs in a dominant victory, the Gwinnett Stripers (16-16) were vaulted by a second inning offensive explosion that saw the club race past an early 2-0 deficit to the Nashville Sounds (17-14) and into a sizeable advantage on the road to an 8-5 triumph on Saturday night at Coolray Field.

Decisive Plays: A two-run double from Brian Navarreto staked Nashville to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Gwinnett responded with a seven-run home half, featuring a two-run double by Nacho Alvarez Jr. and a two-run triple by Eli White. A two-run home run to right field by Tyler Black made it 7-4 in the third inning, and an RBI single from Owen Miller got the Sounds within two runs in the seventh inning. With the Stripers ahead 7-5, Luke Waddell padded the lead with an RBI sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh.

Key Contributors: White (1-for-3, 3B, 2 RBI), Alvarez Jr. (1-for-5, 2B, 2 RBI) and Waddell (1-for-3, 2 RBI) each had multi-RBI nights. Huascar Ynoa allowed just one run over 3.2 innings of relief to collect his first win of the season while Parker Dunshee (2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 SO) worked a seven-out save (3) to close out the Sounds. For Nashville, Black and Navarreto had the big offensive outings with multi-RBI games.

Noteworthy: Alejo Lopez went 2-for-3 to extend his hitting streak to nine games. The Stripers are now 8-3 with a +29-run differential in games broadcast on Peachtree Sports Network this season. Ynoa picked up his first win with Gwinnett since July 31, 2022, vs. Jacksonville.
