Nashville Sounds News Release


NASHVILLE - The Nashville Sounds (60-53, 22-16) pitching staff dominated and shut out the Indianapolis Indians (51-59, 18-19), 3-0, on Sunday night at First Horizon Park.

The Sounds pitching staff was excellent from start to finish with a string of strikeouts along the way. Mitch White (3-3) made his first start of the season and put together his best outing. He had seven strikeouts with one walk and two singles as his only blemishes in five innings. Craig Yoho entered in relief in the sixth and promptly retired all three batters via strikeout on 14 pitches. The Brewers No. 2 prospect, Jacob Misiorowski followed with 1 2/3 innings and two strikeouts in his first relief outing of his professional career.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning. Owen Miller ripped a double off the left-center wall with Brewer Hicklen running on the pitch and scored easily to put the Sounds ahead. In the fifth, Chris Roller walked, stole second base, and came around to score on a Freddy Zamora single. Nashville added some extra insurance in the seventh with an RBI single by Vinny Capra set up by a Carlos Rodriguez triple. Though the offense only totaled three runs on seven hits, it was more than enough with the dominance from the Nashville hurlers.

Kevin Herget (S, 3) recorded the final four outs with three more strikeouts to clinch the series against Indianapolis with a 3-0 victory for the second night in-a-row. It was only the third time this season that the Sounds have recorded 15 strikeouts in a game and only the second time in a nine-inning game.

The Sounds have tomorrow off and then head to Durham for a six-game series against the Bulls starting on Tuesday. Right-hander Taylor Clarke (2-3, 4.50) will be on the bump for Nashville. The starter for Durham is to be determined. The first pitch is set for 5:35 p.m. at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
