Storm Chasers first baseman Erich Weiss homered and drove in three runs, however Sounds third baseman Matt Davidson clubbed a longball while brought home two runs and starting pitcher Seth Maness tossed a quality outing in Nashville's 8-4 win over Omaha in front of 6,533 fans on Thursday evening at Werner Park.

The Sounds surged ahead with a five-run opening frame, capped by Davidson's two-run blast to left. Following a single tally in the third, Nashville extended that margin to eight courtesy of RBI singles by RF Preston Beck and CF Zack Granite in the fifth.
After RF Jorge Bonifacio's run-scoring double broke the Sounds' shutout hopes in the sixth, Weiss brought Bonifacio across with a single to center to make it 8-2. Weiss would later launch a two-run shot to right to narrow the deficit to four.
Granite (3-5, R, RBI) tallied a game-high three knocks, with Davidson (2-5, 2 R, 2B, HR, 2 RBI) and LF Patrick Wisdom(2-5, R, 2 RBI) adding two hits apiece. Weiss (2-4, R, HR, 3 RBI) and Bonifacio (2-4, R, 2 2B, RBI) each recorded multi-hit efforts for Omaha.
Maness (6.0 IP, 6 H, 2 R< 2 ER, BB, 3 K) earned the win to improve to 8-4, while relievers Jeffrey Springs (1.0 IP, K) and David Carpenter (1.0 IP) each fired shutout frames of support. Omaha starter Brian Flynn (6.0 IP, 11 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) suffered the defeat.
