The Nashville Sounds scored a run in the eighth inning without the benefit of a hit to break a 1-1 tie to defeat the Zephyrs 2-1 at Greer Stadium. Nashville utilized a walk, a hit batter, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly from Luis Cruz to take the lead. The Sounds scored first with a solo home run from Brendan Katin in the fourth inning. New Orleans rallied in the eighth inning to tie the game at one with three hits and a walk. Mike Lamb dropped a single into right to tie the game. The Z's loaded the bases with no one out and failed to score a second run, two strikeouts and a out at home plate. Nashville reliever Donavan Hand earned the win and Dan Meyer took the loss for the Z's. The starting pitchers Wes Whisler for the Z's and Tim Dillard for Nashville pitched well but didn't factor in the decision.
