Omaha Storm Chasers News Release
Nashville, TN - Andy Gonzalez homered to back the solid pitching of four different hurlers as Nashville subdued Omaha, 4-1, Sunday afternoon in the last of a four-game set at Greer Stadium. The Storm Chasers dipped to 44-27 on the season and return home after winning five of seven games at Iowa and Nashville.
The Sounds scored an unearned run in the first inning and added a pair in the third, with the aid of only one hit, on a bases loaded walk to Travis Ishikawa and a double play grounder.
After picking up six hits and stranding seven runners through the first five frames, the Storm Chasers finally got on the board in the sixth on a two-out single by Anthony Seratelli that plated Tony Abreu. Nashville starter Wily Peralta walked Derrick Robinson, the next hitter, and was removed from the game in favor of Donovan Hand, who retired Irving Falu on a ground ball to end the threat.
The Sounds got the run back in the home sixth when Andy Gonzalez led off with a long ball against Mike Montgomery, who absorbed the loss after yielding four runs, three earned, on six hits while walking three and recording three strikeouts.
Peralta ended a personal six-game losing streak and earned his first win since beating Omaha on May 1 after giving up eight hits while walking two and fanning six. Hand worked a scoreless 1 1/3 innings and was followed by Vinnie Chulk, who tossed a shutout eighth inning. Jim Henderson set down all three hitters he faced in the ninth, the only time the visitors were retired in order all day, to earn the save.
The Storm Chasers resume play Tuesday night at Werner Park in the opener of a four-game series with left-hander Doug Davis taking the mound against Memphis right-hander Brandon Dickson. Coverage of the game gets underway at 6:45 pm and can be heard locally on 1180 Zone Two, The Deuce and online at omahastormchasers.com.
