NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Royce Huffman and Colin Porter each knocked in a run to help the New Orleans Zephyrs edge the Nashville Sounds, 3-1 on Monday Night in Nashville.

Huffman, who finished with three hits, drew a bases-loaded walk to force in a run in the first inning and Porter followed with a sacrifice fly to give New Orleans a 2-0 lead. Porter also hit a leadoff double in the sixth inning and scampered home on a wild pitch to cap the scoring. Randy Keisler (2-3) allowed a run, scattered three hits, and fanned a pair in five innings to earn the win and Kirk Bullinger tossed two perfect innings to pick up his 20th save for the Zephyrs, who halted a three-game road losing streak.

Chan Perry produced a pinch-hit RBI single to plate the only run for Nashville, which fell to 4-3 on its current homestand. Jeff Bennett (1-2) surrendered two runs and five hits in five innings to suffer the loss.

With the win, the Zephyrs moved into second place in the PCL East Division, 6 ½ games behind Nashville with seven games to go. Oklahoma lost on Monday Night to Memphis and dropped to third and is eliminated falling 7 ½ games behind Nashville. The series with Nashville continues on Tuesday at 7:00 PM. The game can be heard on WTIX-AM 690 and www.zephyrsbaseball.com with Tim Grubbs calling the action.
