Brian Stokes pitched six shutout innings and silenced the Nashville Sounds as the Zephyrs defeated the Sounds 7-0 on Saturday night. The scheduled doubleheader was interrupted by heavy rain and lighting. New Orleans manufactured a run in the third with a Brian Stokes single, wild pitch to advance to second, sacrifice bunt to third and sacrifice fly by Andy Green to score the run. New Orleans got back to back doubles in the fourth inning by Michel Abreu and Valentino Pascucci to score the second run. Derrick Turnbow entered the game in the top of the seventh and proceeded to allow four runs on four walks and one hit. Luis Pena followed and allowed a hit and a pair of walks. The Z's scored five runs in the inning off of six walks. The game was halted during the seventh inning stretch when a power outage knocked out the stadium lights. Heavy rain continued to fall and the game was declared an official game and the second game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Sunday.
