Nashville, TN – The Nashville Sounds faced a disappointing defeat against the Louisville Bats, with a final score of 13-4 on Saturday at First Horizon Park. This loss marks yet another challenge for the Sounds this season, as they struggled to keep pace with their opponents throughout the game.
The match began on a sour note for Nashville when Sal Stewart hit a solo home run, giving the Bats an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

In the third inning, the Bats continued to dominate, with Ryan Vilade and Connor Joe both delivering doubles that contributed to a substantial 7-0 lead for Louisville. However, the Sounds tried to play catch-up in the bottom of the fourth frame. A combination of a fielding error on Drew Avans and back-to-back home runs from Rhys Hoskins and Daz Cameron finally put Nashville on the scoreboard, narrowing the gap to 7-3.
