NORFOLK, Va. – The Nashville Sounds (53-43, 13-9) got some help from mother nature as the rains came and forced the contest to be called early in a 5-3 win over the Norfolk Tides (60-38, 12-10). A soaking from above stopped play with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, quelling the Tides rally after a couple runs earlier in the frame.
It will be a rare Thursday day game for the Sounds in game three of the six-game set. Left-hander and No. 7 prospect in the Brewers system (MLB Pipeline) Robert Gasser (5-1, 4.18) starts for Nashville, while Norfolk’s starter is to be announced. The first pitch is scheduled for 11:05 a.m. CDT from Harbor Park.
