Nashville, TN – Jon Singleton demolished a go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth inning to put the Sounds ahead in a 10-8 win over the Indianapolis Indians in front of 8,279 fans at First Horizon Park on Saturday night.
Nashville erased an early five-run deficit by scoring seven unanswered runs after falling behind 8-3 in the middle of the second inning. David Dahl got the Sounds back in the game after a 2-RBI double, then Mario Feliciano brought home Tyler White with an RBI groundout to make it 8-6 after two frames.
The Sounds drew within a run with Patrick Dorrian’s third-inning solo shot, then tied the game at 8-8 with Brice Turang’s bases-loaded walk in the fifth.
White, Dahl, Weston Wilson, and Brian Navarreto each had two hits for Nashville, respectively. Turang, White, and Singleton scored a couple of times in the 10-run offensive explosion, while Dahl and Singleton tied with three RBI each.
Marcus Walden had a rough first start for the Sounds. After cruising through the first inning, the right-hander allowed eight runs (all earned) on six hits and three walks in the second inning. This includes a grand slam hit by Pittsburgh’s rehabbing first baseman Yoshi Tsutsugo.
The Sounds conclude the six-game series with the Indians tomorrow night at 6:05pm. Right-hander Alec Bettinger (0-4, 6.59) starts for the Sounds and Indianapolis’ starter is still to be announced.
