Charlotte Knights Fall 7-0 to Nashville Sounds, Extending Scoreless Streak to 24 Innings
The Charlotte Knights suffered a tough defeat against the Nashville Sounds, losing 7-0 on Sunday evening. This loss marked the second consecutive game in which the Knights were shut out, pushing their scoreless streak to an alarming 24 innings.
The Knights struggled significantly at the plate, managing only four hits, all of which were singles. None of these hits came with a runner in scoring position, illustrating the team’s offensive challenges throughout the game. The players contributing to the hit tally were Joshua Palacios, Andre Lipcius, Dominic Fletcher, and Jacob Amaya.
This defeat concluded a difficult week for Charlotte, which lost four straight games to Nashville during the series. The team’s starting pitching strategy on Sunday involved a focus on a bullpen game, during which seven pitchers were utilized in an attempt to combat the Sounds’ offense.
The game began poorly for Charlotte as Nashville quickly scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning. This prompted an early pitching change for the Knights. After the first inning, the Knights’ relief pitchers put together a stronger performance, particularly Kyle Tyler and Owen White, who combined for 4.1 innings of scoreless pitching. Additionally, Bryan Hudson contributed an effective shutout inning. However, Nashville continued to assert their dominance, adding three more runs in the seventh inning.
The Knights’ pitching staff also featured Zach Franklin and Peyton Pallette, who aided in holding the Sounds at bay for portions of the game. Despite these efforts on the mound, the offensive production from the Knights was insufficient to overcome the early deficit.
Charlotte is set to face the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in their next series, which will consist of seven games over six days. The first game is scheduled for Tuesday night at 6:35 PM ET at Truist Field, marking the team’s return home after a 14-game road trip.
In the previous encounter on Friday, the Knights faced a closely contested game but ultimately lost 5-4 to Nashville, with all nine runs being scored within the first three innings. Notably, Jacob Gonzalez highlighted that game with a two-run double during the opening inning. Despite impressive multi-hit performances from several players, the Knights failed to maintain scoring momentum throughout the weekend.
The Saturday clash was particularly challenging, as the Knights fell 10-0, marking the first series loss by more than four runs this season.
