NASHVILLE, Tennessee - The Memphis Redbirds (20-12) beat the Nashville Sounds (15-15) 4-1, Monday afternoon in Nashville, Tenn. The win snapped Memphis' four-game losing streak.
The Redbirds scored four runs this afternoon, one shy of the total number of runs they had scored during their four-game skid.
Daniel Poncedeleon got the ball for Memphis, and pitched a solid six innings after struggling his last time out. The righty threw 6.0 innings, only allowing one run on two hits and three walks. He also struck out eight Nashville batters.
Nashville scored the first run of the game in the third inning. Poncedeleon walked the first two batters to leadoff, and Nashville moved them over on a sacrifice bunt. A fielder's choice from BJ Boyd allowed Nashville's only run to score one batter later.
The Redbirds' bats responded quickly in the fourth inning.
