Misner got the scoring started with a solo shot in the third, with Brujan immediately following with a longball of his own to make it 2-0. One inning later Brujan would drive in his second run of the night with an RBI single prior to Aranda's two-run blast. After Nashville plated a tally in the top of the seventh, Durham answered with a two more scores courtesy of C Rene Pinto's RBI double and 1B Kyle Manzardo's run-scoring single. The Sounds would then narrow their deficit with a single tally in the eighth.

SS Osleivis Basabe clubbed a single in the third to extend his hit streak to a 2023 team-best nine games.
