This decisive inning included a bases-loaded double from Jared Oliva, which not only gave Nashville the lead but was also a significant contributor to their overall success in the series finale.

Offensively, Jared Oliva stood out with an exceptional performance, finishing 3-for-4 at the plate, which included a crucial double and three runs batted in (RBI). Another key contributor to Nashville’s success was Anthony Seigler, who, with a two-out RBI single, extended his hitting streak to eight games.
