NASHVILLE, TN - The Worcester Red Sox (10-9) dropped their fifth-consecutive game on Saturday night, falling to the Nashville Sounds (11-8) by a 2-1 final.
Jett Williams hit a lead-off homer in the bottom of the first to give the Sounds an early 1-0 lead.
The WooSox tied the game in the top of the second. Allan Castro led off the inning with a single. Castro stole second base and later scored on a bloop single from Matt Thaiss.
Nashville regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth. After a lead-off walk to Brock Wilken and a double from Eddys Leonard, Ethan Murray hit a sacrifice fly to give the Sounds a 2-1 advantage that they would not relinquish.
