LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Bryse Wilson (W, 4-1) struck out a season-best nine batters over 6.0 one-run innings as the Gwinnett Stripers (19-18) notched their first-ever victory over the Nashville Sounds (24-12), 2-1 on Tuesday night at Coolray Field.

Decisive Play: Orlando Arcia got caught in a rundown while attempting to steal second base, which scored Cristian Pache from third to give the Stripers a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning. The Gwinnett pitching staff kept Nashville off the board for the remainder of the contest.

Key Contributors: Wilson allowed just five hits and walked one to earn the win. Phillip Ervin tallied the only RBI for Gwinnett with a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. Jesse Chavez (S, 2) stranded runners at first and third base in the ninth, striking out Jamie Westbrook looking.

Noteworthy: The Stripers earned their first-ever win against the Sounds after being swept in a six-game series at Nashville from May 18-23. Of the seven games played by the two clubs, six have been decided by one run. Wilson’s nine strikeouts were his most in a game since he also fanned nine on August 27, 2019 vs. Norfolk.
