After the weather postponed the Nashville Sounds opening game on Friday, they played a double header against the Louisville Bats on Saturday. The result was two wins for the Sounds in which both victories were courtesy of a walk-off. A Tyler Naquin two run home run was the deciding factor in the first game and Skye Bolt scoring on a wild pitch was the walk-off in game two.
The Nashville Sounds won two games on opening day, both by walk-offs.

He also extended his on-base streak with the Sounds to 43 games (extending into last year).
Game three of the series will be Sunday afternoon. Janson Junk is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Sounds and former Brewer Chase Anderson for the Bats.
