NASHVILLE, TN - The Iowa Cubs (41-52) fell, 3-2, to the Nashville Sounds (49-44) on Sunday afternoon at First Horizon Park.
Iowa jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first, when Bryce Windham led off the afternoon with a ground-rule double over the left field wall and stole third on the following batter. Then, after two flyouts failed to bring Windham home, Cole Roederer ripped a line drive single to right field.
Nashville answered in the bottom of the first, taking a 2-1 lead, as Brewer Hicklen launched a two-run shot to left, driving in Joey Wiemer after his single.
The Sounds added another tally in the bottom of the sixth, when Hicklen reached first on a fielder's choice, stole second, and advanced to third on an error on the steal, and crossed home on a Sam McWilliams wild pitch.
The I-Cubs loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, but the visitors could not score, as the Sounds converted their third double-play of the afternoon.
Iowa brought one across in the ninth. Jake Hager and Darius Hill hit back-to-back singles, Hill's bringing Hager to third. Then, Jack Reinheimer grounded into a near double play, scoring Hager and forcing Hill out at second. Then, with one out and Reinheimer on first, Windham grounded into the I-Cubs fourth double play of the game to end it.
