The Nashville Sounds triumphed over the Charlotte Knights in a thrilling 11-inning matchup on Tuesday night, winning 14-13 at First Horizon Park. The decisive victory came from a clutch single by Oliver Dunn, which brought home Daz Cameron for the walk-off win. This match marked the Sounds’ second walk-off victory of the season.
In an action-packed game that featured a total of four home runs and multiple lead changes, Nashville showcased its offensive power. Notably, Bobby Dalbec had a standout performance, blasting two home runs, marking his achievement of a multi-HR game. Dunn and Dalbec’s significant contributions kept the Sounds within striking distance throughout the high-scoring affair.
The game began with a quick start from both teams when Charlotte scored two runs in the top of the first inning, only for Nashville to answer back immediately. Two runs in the bottom of the inning, fueled by a single from Daz Cameron and Dalbec’s first home run of the night, tied the game at 2-2. However, the Knights responded with firepower, scoring five runs in the top of the fourth, which gave them a substantial lead of 7-2.
Despite the early setbacks, Nashville did not back down. Dalbec quickly struck again with his second home run, followed closely by Dunn’s sixth home run of the season. By the end of the sixth inning, Charlotte had taken an 8-5 lead, but the relentless Sounds kept battling back. By the eighth inning, Nashville had narrowed the gap to 8-7 thanks to both Dunn and Oliva reaching base due to a catcher’s interference call.
As tensions mounted on both sides, the ninth inning brought another twist when Dunn hit a two-out game-tying single, bringing the score to 8-8 and necessitating extra innings. In the tenth inning, the Knights surged back with a four-run inning. However, Nashville rapidly responded with an RBI single from Raynel Delgado, and Drew Avans hit a three-run home run to tie the game again at 12-12.
In the eleventh inning, Charlotte managed to push one run across, briefly taking a 13-12 lead. But Nashville answered with quick precision. Cameron’s ground rule double tied the game once more, setting the stage for Dunn’s walk-off heroics.
In addition to the excitement of the game, several individual performances stood out. Dalbec’s home runs were his 10th and 11th of the season, contributing to his impressive total of 15 home runs in Triple-A this year. Dunn’s three hits tied his single-game high for hits, and Daz Cameron extended his hitting streak to eight games with his ground rule double in the eleventh inning. Jared Oliva also made his mark with two stolen bases, tying him for the most steals on the team this season.
This matchup represented Nashville’s eighth extra-innings game of the season and their first since June 24. The team is looking forward to their next outing, scheduled for Thursday at First Horizon Park, where right-hander Nestor Cortes will make a rehab start for the Sounds, adding to the excitement surrounding the team.
