Zach Shank delivered the knockout punch with a walk-off double in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the Tacoma Rainiers an 8-7 win over the Nashville Sounds Monday night at Cheney Stadium. Shank’s game-winner off Sounds reliever Lou Trivino ended the 5-hour, 8-minute marathon that featured 12 pitchers, 21 walks, 20 hits, and 20 strikeouts between the two teams. The bottom of the 12th started when Trivino issued a leadoff walk to Kyle Waldrop. He moved to second when Danny Muno drew a free pass to put runners at first and second. The walks came back to...

A great start and a strong finish described Saturday for the CHS Lady Raider soccer team.   Hosting their own scrimmage play day, Coffee County opened the day with a win before a pair of disheartening draws.  They closed the day with a near flawless performance in a 0 to 0 tie with defending state tournament quarterfinalist Lincoln County. Coffee County opened the day with a 3 to 1 win over Cascade.  The Lady Raiders got goals from Emilee Roberson, Jessica Barrera and Regan Ellison in the win.  Squaring off against Mt.

A pair of homers during a four-run first inning provided early comfort for Marlins right-hander Jose Urena, who proved to be nearly flawless through six innings in a 4-1 win over the Braves on Sunday afternoon at SunTrust Park. Coming off a pair of losses to open the weekend set, the Marlins quickly marred right-hander Lucas Sims’ second career start with home runs from Marcell Ozuna and J.T. Realmuto before the game’s second out was recorded. The four-run first was more than enough for Urena, who was perfect through three innings and allowed just one run on three hits...

The Nashville Sounds offense cooled off Sunday afternoon but savvy defense, opportunistic base running, and Mother Nature propelled them to a 5-4 victory over the Reno Aces. The win clinched a series victory for the Sounds who won just one series in both June and July. Nashville was clinging to a 5-4 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning when the skies opened up. Greater Nevada Field became so saturated with water that the tarp stuck to the ground and was unable to be pulled all the way over the infield. Following a lengthy delay the umpires...

Mike Foltynewicz responded to Giancarlo Stanton’s MLB-leading 36th home run by throwing a career-high 11 strikeouts, as the Braves’ offense ignited for seven runs to beat the Marlins, 7-2, on Saturday night at SunTrust Park. “I kept the team in it and I knew that they would break out at the end, which it seems like they always do,” Foltynewicz said. “Overall, it was a great team win and I am very excited for it.” Freddie Freeman got the Braves offense started as he got the first of his four RBIs with a single in the sixth inning. He...

The Nashville Sounds jumped out to an early lead and held on late to defeat the Reno Aces in a Saturday night slugfest. The Sounds used a seven-run first inning to take the lead and survived an eight-run flurry by Reno to take a 2-1 series lead. The Sounds did not waste any time getting the bats hot. They erupted in the opening inning to spot Ben Bracewell a 7-0 lead. Just like Friday night, Franklin Barreto cranked a one-out first inning home run to spark the rally. Matt Olson backed up Barreto with a solo blast of his...
