NASHVILLE, Tn. --- The Norfolk Tides (47-24) split a doubleheader against the Nashville Sounds (38-33), on Thursday night at First Horizon Park. Only three runs were needed from the Tides in game two of the twin-bill to save a doubleheader split with the Sounds.

It was Nashville who got things started in game one as Keston Hiura hit a two-out two-run home run that put the Sounds up 2-0 in the first. A double down the left field line off the bat of Brice Turang added another Nashville run in the third. After being held scoreless through three frames, Heston Kjerstad pounced on a hanging curveball, sending it over the wall for a solo shot to put the Tides on the board in the fourth. Mike Brosseau helped the Sounds jump further ahead with a two-run blast in the home half of the fourth. Nashville tacked on another in the fifth with an RBI single from Abraham Toro. Turang brought in a run on a groundout in the sixth, capping the scoring in game one with the Tides falling 7-1 to Nashville.

The Tides were off to a hot start in game two when César Prieto knocked in two with an RBI single in the first to give the Tides a 2-0 lead. Prieto struck again in the third with a solo blast to put the Tides up by three and that would be all the Tides would need to earn the victory, splitting the doubleheader with a 3-0 game two win.
