From the Notes

Power Surge: After hitting three home runs on Sunday, Nashville exploded for four home runs in Monday's series finale against San Antonio. After hitting just three homers on the season-opening homestand, the Sounds totaled 13 on the road trip. Out of the seven home runs in the past two games, Willie Calhoun and Matt Davidson each have two while Jett Bandy, Hunter Cole and Andy Ibáñez each homered once. The Sounds are ranked sixth in the Pacific Coast League in home runs (16).

The Producers: Along with their home run production, Willie Calhoun and Matt Davidson have each knocked in 8 RBI, tying for the Nashville lead. Their 16 RBI have accounted for 29.1% of all Sounds' RBI production. Calhoun has at least one RBI in five of his last six games, including yesterday being his first multi-RBI affair (3). Davidson recorded two 3-RBI games in the recent four-game series against San Antonio after having just one RBI in his first eight games of the season.

We Meet Again: Today starts the second series between Nashville and Round Rock in 2019. The Sounds won the series opener 3-1 last time around but lost heartbreakers in a 9-5, 10 inning loss in game two, and gave up a five-run comeback in an 8-6 loss in the series finale. In an odd PCL schedul-ing quirk, the two teams play each other 16 times in April and May.
