Nashville, TN – The Nashville Sounds shattered a single-game attendance record at First Horizon Park, hosting 12,409 fans at First Horizon Park on Saturday night.
The attendance broke the previous record of 11,824 set for a Texas Rangers exhibition game on March 24th, 2019. Despite the large crowd, the Sounds were shut out by the Memphis Redbirds 10-0.
Things were quiet for the first two innings before the Redbirds put runs on the board. Memphis tallied two in the third and a couple in the fifth to lead 4-0 midway through the contest. Things got out of hand in the later innings, as the Redbirds scored eight more times to make it a 10-0 game.
Tyler Herb (L, 1-5) allowed six runs (5 ER) on seven hits in 5.0 innings. He also struck out six batters in defeat.
Alex Jackson led the Sounds offensively with a couple of hits. Brice Turang, Pablo Reyes, Jakson Reetz and Weston Wilson also contributed a base knock.
The Sounds wrap up the six-game series against Memphis tomorrow afternoon. Right-hander Caleb Boushley (9-2, 3.04) will get the start for Nashville, going against Matthew Liberatore (4-3, 4.03) for Memphis. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:05pm at First Horizon Park.
