LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Despite allowing just one run and four hits on the night, the Gwinnett Stripers (67-49) failed to put together a run, falling 1-0 to the Nashville Sounds (61-55) on Thursday night at Coolray Field.

Decisive Play: Nashville scored the lone run of the contest on David Dahl’s soft grounder to Bryce Elder (L, 2-2) that scored Brice Turang from third base in the third inning.

Key Contributors: Travis Demeritte led the Stripers in hitting, going 2-for-3 with a pair of singles. Elder took the loss, allowing one unearned run over 5.0 innings in the start (1 H, 4 BB, 6 SO). Four Gwinnett relievers combined to toss 4.0 scoreless innings. Colin Rea (W, 3-2) spread out five Gwinnett hits over 6.0 scoreless innings. Luke Barker (S, 11) tossed a scoreless ninth inning for the save.

Noteworthy: Elder is 1-1 with a 1.13 ERA (2 ER in 16.0 IP), 0.88 WHIP, and .125 BAA over his last three starts. Drew Waters stole his team-leading 25th base of the season in the third inning. The Stripers have been shut out by Nashville five times this season, the most by any Gwinnett opponent.
