NASHVILLE - The Round Rock Express shutout the Nashville Sounds 10-0 on Wednesday evening at historic Greer Stadium. Express first baseman Mark Saccomanno went 4-for-5 with a double, while catcher Lou Santangelo added a double and three-run home run in the cause.
The Express struck first in the top of the second by plating four runs off Sounds starter Nick Green.

On the first pitch of the fourth inning, Express second baseman Jason Smith homered to right field that extended the Express lead to 5-0.
Round Rock tacked on another run for a 6-0 lead in the fifth on an RBI-single by Smith that scored Saccomanno. Wes Littleton came in to relieve Green later in the inning and allowed a single and a two-run double that upped the Express lead to 8-0.
