Sounds Drop Second Straight to Aces
The Nashville Sounds couldn’t come up with the big hit in a 3-2 loss to the Reno Aces at Greater Nevada Field Wednesday night. Nashville out-hit Reno, 10-4, but went just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position in their fourth straight loss.
Just as he did in the series opener Tuesday night, Nashville’s Eli White got the scoring started with a bang Wednesday night when he drilled a solo home run in the first inning to give the Sounds a 1-0 lead. The blast to right-center was White’s sixth home run of the season.
The lead lasted until the fourth inning for Nashville. Opener Taylor Guerrieri started and worked two scoreless innings before being relieved by Pedro Payano. The latter issued two walks and hit a batter in the third but escaped with no damage. The fourth was a different story when Reno’s Domingo Leyba made two walks hurt when he launched a three-run homer to deep right field to give the Aces a 3-1 lead.
Carlos Tocci’s run-scoring base hit in the top of the sixth trimmed the deficit to 3-2. Nashville had to settle for one run in the inning after multiple failed chances with a runner at third base with less than two outs.
It was the theme of the night as Nashville left a runner on base in each of the first three innings, one more in the fifth, three in the sixth and another in the seventh.
Sounds’ reliever Jacob Lemoine worked two scoreless innings to keep the game within reach, but it wasn’t to be. Pinch-hitter Tyler Pill walked in the top of the ninth, but Zack Granite bounced into a 3-6-3 double play to end the game.
The series finale between the two teams is scheduled for Thursday night in Reno. Right-hander Phillips Valdez (1-6, 5.68) starts for the Sounds against left-hander Anthony Vasquez (3-3, 5.52) for the Aces. First pitch is scheduled for 9:05 CST.
Post-Game Notes
– With tonight’s 3-2 loss, the Sounds are now 22-37 on the season.
– Nashville is 15 games below .500 – their low-water mark in 2019.
– Zack Granite went 3-for-4 and has a team-high 18 multi-hit games. He has five games of at least three or more hits.
The 2019 season is the 42nd in Nashville Sounds franchise history and first as the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. Single-game tickets are available now by calling (615) 690-4487 or by visiting www.nashvillesounds.com.

Local Business Claims City of Manchester Did Not Pay Them for Services Provided…City Claims They Did
Coffee County entrepreneur Scott Van Velsor is a person you might remember being one of the people to begin the mural program in Manchester. Van Velsor has now written a blog online at www.camelsandchocolate.com about his displeasure with the City of Manchester and Alderman Ryan French. The online post has created a lot of talk around town.
Van Velsor states in part on the blog that the City of Manchester, Tennessee hired his company Odinn Media for marketing services, then he claims the city never paid for the work that was done. The city rebukes that claim.

Drowning Victims Identified
We have an update on the drownings in Grundy and Franklin counties over the weekend. Authorities in Grundy County say a teenager drowned over the weekend in a Tracy City reservoir. The victim was identified as 17 year-old Skyler Copeland.
The teen was reportedly fishing in a boat with his father and 16 year-old brother Saturday evening when the boat overturned. The father and the 16 year-old were able to get to shore. The victim was not, in spite of his father’s efforts to get him out.
First responders, with help from the Franklin County Dive Team, were able to locate the victim’s body in about 20 feet of water after about three hours of searching.
Franklin County Rescue Squad divers recovered the body of a 17-year-old male identified as Robert Alan Keithley who drowned in Tims Ford Lake on Friday. Keithley was from Thompson’s Station in Williamson County.
The boy’s Dad discovered the teenager missing around 11 a.m. and his body was recovered around 8 p.m. in Tims Ford Lake.
