Nashville Sounds News Release
COLUMBUS, OHIO - The Nashville Sounds' dominance over the Columbus Clippers did not slow down on Saturday night, as they hit four home runs in a 6-2 victory at Huntington Park and won their season-high eighth consecutive game overall. The Sounds have hit 11 home runs in the series and have not trailed at any point, improving to 11-0 all-time at Huntington Park dating back to last season.
Brice Turang, David Dahl, and Jon Singleton each launched a homer to right field in the top of the first inning against Aaron Pinto (2-2), giving the Sounds a 3-0 lead and six first-inning homers out of their 11 in the series. After the Clippers got a run back in the bottom of the second, the Sounds continued their onslaught in the middle innings. Abraham Almonte singled home Weston Wilson in the fourth, Tyler White smashed a homer to left in the fifth, and Dahl drove in Brian Navarreto in the sixth for a 6-1 score.
Tyler Herb (1-4) continued the Sounds' excellent run of starting pitching in the series, giving up one run on four hits over six innings in the quality start and win. He walked one and struck out six. Then Connor Sadzeck and Peter Strzelecki combined for two scoreless innings, and Luis Contreras gave up a run in the ninth before ending the game.
The six-game series concludes Sunday afternoon at 3:05 CT. Right-hander Caleb Boushley (9-2, 3.01) starts for the Sounds (52-30) opposite lefty Tanner Tully (5-3, 5.04) for Columbus (46-37) in a rematch from Monday.
