Nashville Sounds News Release
NASHVILLE - The Memphis Redbirds slugged their way to a 19-4 win over the Nashville Sounds in front of 9,287 fans at First Horizon Park on Thursday night.
Memphis clubbed five home runs in the game - three-run blasts by Moises Gomez, Scott Hurst and Paul DeJong, another solo home run from DeJong and a two-run shot by Irving Lopez.

It was a 12-0 game in the seventh inning before the Sounds put their first run on the board. They put the first three batters of the bottom of the seventh on base, but only came away with one run on a bases loaded walk by Pablo Reyes.
