NASHVILLE – The Nashville Sounds (72-61, 32-27) celebrated manager Rick Sweet’s 71st birthday with an improbable win, erasing a six-run deficit over the final three innings to steal a 7-6 win over the Memphis Redbirds (64-71, 25-25) on Thursday night at First Horizon Park. Monte Harrison’s single capped off the comeback, delivering Nashville’s 11th walk-off victory of the season.
The Sounds managed just one hit through the first six innings, but the bats came alive with eight knocks in the final three frames. Harrison led the team with three hits and two runs. Toro’s three-RBI triple was his only hit and kept his on-base streak alive, now at 26 games. Roller reached base four times with three walks and a single.
