The game was scoreless until the fifth inning, when Nate Eaton blasted a lead-off homer over the left-field fence. Later in the frame, Nick Sogard ripped a single to left that scored Tsung-Che Cheng to extend Worcester's lead to 2-0.

The WooSox tacked on two more in the eighth. Eaton blooped a single to center to drive in a run, and Cheng hit a sacrifice fly to left to drive in Worcester's fourth run of the day.

Eaton went 3-for-5, finishing a triple shy of the cycle. It was his first three-hit game since August 12, 2025.

The Sounds plated a pair in the ninth, but Tayron Guerrero struck out two and picked up his third save of the season.

In his Triple-A debut, left-hander Michael Sansone tossed six scoreless innings. The Cheshire, Connecticut native allowed four baserunners (two hits and two walks) and struck out five. The six-inning start matched the longest outing of the season for a WooSox pitcher.

The WooSox will enjoy an off-day tomorrow before starting a six-game series with the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday night at Polar Park, with first pitch set for 6:05 pm. Radio coverage begins at 5:45 pm on 98.9 Nash Icon, 100.1 FM The Pike and the rest of the WooSox Radio Network.
