Jacksonville, FL – Jonathan Davis sent a ground ball through the vacated right side of the infield that scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning as the Nashville Sounds took a 3-2 victory over the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp at 121 Financial Ballpark on Tuesday night.
Trailing 2-1 entering the ninth inning, David Dahl leadoff with a base knock and moved to third on Mario Feliciano’s double. Alex Jackson tied the game at 2-2 with a groundout to shortstop. After a Pablo Reyes flyout, Davis’ two-out single put Nashville on top 3-2.
Nashville got on the scoreboard first after Jackson’s sacrifice fly brough home Dahl in the second inning. The Jumbo Shrimp broke up Josh Lindblom’s no-hit bid in the sixth inning, scoring a couple runs on three hits for the lead.

He walked a couple of Jacksonville batters while striking out a pair. Trevor Kelley relieved Lindblom in the seventh inning and retired both batters faced to get out of a jam.
