Final: Nashville 4, Colorado Springs 3 NASHVILLE EVENS SERIES AS SKY SOX DROP FINAL GAME OF ROAD TRIP NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After taking the first two games of this four-game series against Nashville, the Sky Sox dropped games three and four to even the series at two apiece before heading back home for an eight game, nine day homestand in Colorado Springs. The Sounds won the final game of the series 4-3 Friday night. In the final game of this four-game series the Sky Sox wasted no time putting runs on the board. In the top of the first inning Keon Broxton became Colorado Springs' first baserunner, reaching by way of hit-by-pitch. A passed ball advanced Broxton to second, and a wild pitch advanced him to third. Eric Sogard singled for the Sky Sox first hit and first RBI of the game to make it 1-0. Jacob Nottingham was also hit-by-pitch to put two on, and a Christian Bethancourt double cleared the bases to make it 3-0 Sky Sox. The home team responded in the bottom of the second, taking back the lead. Josh Phegley drew a walk to start the inning, followed by a Sheldon Neuse single. Slade Heathcott singled to load the bases, and a Jorge Mateo double scored Phegley and Neuse to make it 3-2. Nick Martini singled for the Sounds fourth hit in a row, scoring both Heathcott and Mateo to take the lead at 4-3. Though both teams had numerous baserunners and collected a number of hits throughout the remainder of the game, there would be no further runs scored after the second inning. After seven scoreless frames of baseball, Nashville still held a 4-3 lead to take game four and split the series with the Sky Sox. The Sky Sox return to Security Service Field Saturday for an eight-game, nine-day homestand where they will host the Oklahoma City Dodgers and Memphis Redbirds. Tomorrow's Expectation: In the first game of both the homestand and the four-game series against the Oklahoma City Dodgers, the Sky Sox are sending righty Freddy Peralta to the mound to face right-hander Tyler Pill for the Dodgers, as Peralta looks to pick up his sixth win of the season and Pill looks to pick up his first. Game 3 Blues: Half of Colorado Springs' 12 losses have came by way of game three's this season. With the loss to Nashville in game three Thursday night, the Sky Sox fall to 3-6 in game three's in 2018. *** Box Score / Game Log Nate Orf's 20-game hit streak comes to an end. Corbin Burnes surrendered all four runs in one inning. In a pitcher-friendly park, this five-batter sequence qualified as shocking, given the high bar he has set: Nashville Bottom of the 2nd Josh Phegley walks. Sheldon Neuse singles on a line drive to left fielder Kyle Wren. Josh Phegley to 2nd. Slade Heathcott singles on a line drive to center fielder Keon Broxton. Josh Phegley to 3rd. Sheldon Neuse to 2nd. Jorge Mateo doubles (3) on a line drive to left fielder Kyle Wren. Josh Phegley scores. Sheldon Neuse scores. Slade Heathcott to 3rd. Nick Martini singles on a line drive to center fielder Keon Broxton. Slade Heathcott scores. Jorge Mateo scores. BJ Boyd lines out to center fielder Keon Broxton. Franklin Barreto flies out to right fielder Tyrone Taylor in foul territory. Anthony Garcia strikes out swinging.

Final: Nashville 12, Colorado Springs 7 NASHVILLE RUNS AWAY WITH GAME THREE WITH MONSTER FIRST INNING NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Though the Sky Sox had won five games in a row against Nashville coming into Thursday night, the Sounds effectively brought that streak to an end in the very first inning, scoring eight runs in the first frame en route to a 12-7 victory over Colorado Springs. After dropping the first two games of this series, the Sounds came out swinging in game three. After the Sky Sox went three up and three down in the top of the first, Nashville came rushing out of the gates in the bottom of the first. Nick Martini led off with a single. B.J. Boyd also hit a single to put runners on the corners. Franklin Barreto then doubled for Nashville's first extra-base hit and RBI of the game to make it 1-0. Anthony Garcia, who has been heaving a great series against Colorado Springs, singled to score both Boyd and Barreto. Josh Phegley doubled to put two on for Slade Heathcott, who singled to score Garcia and make it 4-0. Sky Sox starter Michael Brady then struck out Sheldon Neuse for the first out of the inning. With one away Dustin Garneau hit an RBI single to plate Phegley and advance Heathcott to third. Jorge Mateo became Brady's second strikeout victim in the next at-bat, and with two on and two away Martini stepped into the box for the second time that inning. Martini ripped an RBI double to clear the bases and make it 7-0 Nashville, which proved enough to knock Brady from the game still in the first inning. He was replaced on the mound by former Sound Tim Dillard, who gave up a single to Boyd that scored Martini and made it 8-0 before Barreto flied out to end the disastrous first inning. The second and third innings saw no score change, but in the top of the fourth the Sky Sox offense cut the deficit in half. With one out Keon Broxton reached on a single, stealing second for his ninth swipe of the season. Ji-Man Choi drew a walk, and then was replaced on first by pinch-runner Dylan Moore. Jacob Nottingham singled to score Broxton and get Colorado Springs on the board. Kyle Wren followed Nottingham's single with a single of his own, scoring Moore to make it 8-2. A Nashville throwing error allowed both Nottingham and Wren to move up 90 feet, and a Gabriel Noriega single scored them both to make it 8-4 for a four-run fourth for the Sky Sox. In the bottom half of the inning the home team responded with a pair of runs. Barreto drew a two-out walk, coming home one batter later on a Garcia home run that extended Nashville's lead to 10-4. Quintin Berry was hit-by-pitch to begin the fifth frame, and with his 19-game hitting streak on the line Nate Orf singled to extend his streak to 20 games. Broxton reached on a fielder's choice that saw Orf out at second base but Broxton and Berry safe at first and third, respectively. With Moore at the plate Colorado Springs executed a double steal, with Broxton swiping second base for his second steal of the game and Berry stealing home to make it a 10-5 ballgame. After a scoreless sixth, the Sounds offense scored an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh. Heathcott drew a one-out walk, then stole second for his second stolen bag of the night. A Neuse double plated Heathcott to make it 11-5 Nashville. In the top of the eighth Nottingham crushed a solo homer on the second pitch he saw to reduce Nashville's lead to five runs. Wren reached second on a Nashville error, advancing to third on a wild pitch. Noriega grounded out to score Wren and make it 11-7, as the Sky Sox scored two runs on one hit and an error in the inning. Martini led off the bottom of the inning with a four-pitch walk, and after a Boyd strikeout, Barreto drew a walk as well to put two on. A wild pitch advanced both runners a base, and a Garcia sacrifice fly scored Martini to make it 12-7. That would be Garcia's fifth RBI of the night, and his second five-RBI game against the Sky Sox in a week. He also had one last week against the Sky Sox in Security Service Field. 12-7 proved to be the final score of the contest, as Nashville won game three to put the series at 2-1. Tomorrow's final game against the Nashville Sounds is scheduled for 5:35 PM Central at First Tennessee Park. The Sky Sox return to Security Service Field for an eight-game, nine-day homestand on May 12 where they will host the Oklahoma City Dodgers and Memphis Redbirds. NOTES -- Tomorrow's Expectation: In the fourth game of this four-game series against the Nashville Sounds the Sky Sox are sending righty Corbin Burnes to the mound to face right-hander Chris Bassitt for Nashville. Hard to Come Back From That: The Sounds scored eight runs in an upside-down first inning Thursday night. The last time an opponent scored eight runs in the first inning against the Sky Sox took place last season on July 24th, 2017, when the Reno Aces scored eight runs in the top of the first inning at Security Service Field in Colorado Springs. Reno won that game, 12-5. The last time an opponent scored eight runs in the first inning against the Sky Sox on the road took place on June 13th, 2005, when the Fresno Grizzlies scored nine runs in the bottom of the first inning at Grizzlies Stadium (now known as Chukchansi Park) in Fresno. Fresno won that game, 14-3. You Underestimate the Streakiness: Nate Orf currently boasts an active 20-game hitting streak, which was continued Thursday night with a single in the fifth inning. In 20 games, Orf has gone 35-for-78 with 17 runs, 14 RBI, and four stolen bases. Of those 20 games, Orf has had multiple hits in 11 of them. In fact, there have only been four games this season when Orf has NOT had a hit. His longest streak last season was nine games. *** Box Score / Game Log I read the early Choi exit as a way to still get him an at-bat, but then pull him for some rest in what was going to be a long evening. Over his last two games, 31-year-old RHP Michael Brady has covered only three innings, allowing 17 hits and 15 runs. Remember that time he introduced Greg to Don Drysdale? Or when Greg's crush on his teacher turned out to be Dodger Wes Parker's fiancée? Fangraphs covered that one in detail in 2016. http://www.hardballtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Parker-and-the-Brady-Bunch-740.png

Scooped up less than a week after being released by St. Louis, 24-year-old infielder Darren Seferina, a Curacao native drafted in the 5th round in 2014, assigned to Biloxi. http://www.milb.com/images/657261/generic/180x270/657261.jpg Off to a small-sample start in 2018, Seferina posted a combined High-A and AA line of .278/.357/.409 last year. If the Brewers had released such a player, it likely would have raised an eyebrow or two here. VIDEO Highlight Package - Darren Seferina
