Nashville Homers Send Stripers to 11-3 Loss in Road Trip Opener

May 9, 2023 - International League (IL)
Gwinnett Stripers News Release


NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Dylan Dodd yielded seven runs over 3.1 innings as the Gwinnett Stripers (12-21) opened a two-week road trip with an 11-3 loss to the Nashville Sounds (18-15) on Tuesday night at First Horizon Park. Vaughn Grissom and Chadwick Tromp belted back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning of the loss.

Decisive Plays: Eli White led off the game with a double and scored on a two-out single by Nick Solak for a 1-0 Stripers' lead in the top of the first inning, but back-to-back homers by Jon Singleton (4) and Keston Hiura (11) off Dodd (L, 1-2) quickly wiped that out in the bottom of the first. An RBI double by Blake Perkins and two-run single by Andruw Monasterio made it 5-1 in the second, and Monte Harrison's two-run clout (1) put the game out of reach at 7-1 in the fourth. Grissom (2) and Tromp (1) launched solo shots to left in the eighth, bringing Gwinnett to within 9-3. Nashville answered with two runs in the eighth to go up 11-3.

Key Contributors: Grissom (2-for-4, homer, RBI), Tromp (1-for-4, homer, RBI), and White (1-for-4, double, run) had Gwinnett's three extra-base hits. Monasterio (3-for-4, 2 RBIs) and Harrison (3-for-4, double, homer, 2 RBIs) each had three-hit efforts for Nashville. Sounds reliever Pedro Fernandez (W, 1-1) allowed two runs on four hits over 4.0 innings for the win.

Noteworthy: The loss was Gwinnett's first in a road series opener this season (now 2-1). White has reached base safely in all 13 games played with the Stripers this year. Grissom and Tromp's back-to-back homers were the second set for the Stripers this year, first since Joshua Fuentes and Hendrik Clementina on April 29 vs. Buffalo.
