DURHAM, NC - Bulls right fielder Josh Lowe homered twice and first baseman Jonathan Aranda extended his hit streak to thirteen games, however Sounds designated hitter Joey Wiemer smashed three hits, including a grand slam, in Nashville's 9-2 win over Durham on Wednesday evening at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Wiemer got the scoring started with an RBI double to right in the second, before bashing a grand slam in the fourth as part of a five-run fourth that put the Sounds ahead 5-0. Lowe later went deep in the bottom of the fourth for the Bulls' first tally, however, Nashville responded via a three-run seventh to go ahead 9-1. Lowe would then launch his second homer of the night, another solo shot, in the last of the seventh.
Lowe (3-4, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI) recorded three hits to pace the Bulls batting order, and has now homered three times in his last two games. Aranda reached base with a single in his final at-bat in the eighth inning to extend his team-best hit streak to 13.
