Durham, N.C. – The Nashville Sounds (21-20) overcame a slow start at the plate with back-to-back big innings, taking an 8-4 victory over the Durham Bulls on Thursday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Three runs in the seventh, followed by five in the eighth, proved to be plenty enough to get Nashville’s first victory of the series.

Trailing by a couple runs through six, the Sounds cashed in with clutch hits in the seventh. Brian Navarreto’s two-RBI double tied the game at 2-2 before Blake Perkins brought Navarreto home to lead 3-2 at the stretch.

The Bulls answered and tied the game in the bottom of the seventh, but Bennett Sousa (2-0) somehow kept Durham from taking the lead despite entering the inning with the bases loaded and nobody out.

Robert Gasser (1-0, 5.47) will start for the Sounds Friday night. Durham’s starter is to be determined. First pitch is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. CDT at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
