JACKSONVILLE – Erik González’s early home run gave the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp an early lead, but the Nashville Sounds rallied late to take a 6-2 win Wednesday night at 121 Financial Ballpark.

Nashville (67-45) tied the game in the bottom of the sixth inning. Sal Frelick started the inning with a walk and Esteury Ruiz singled. 

With two men on, Omar Narvaez hit into a double play and Frelick moved safely to third. Jon Singleton walked and with runners at the corners, Pablo Reyes smacked an RBI single to cut the deficit 2-1. 

Singleton went first to third on the base hit from Reyes and then scored the tying run on a single from Brice Turang off Jacksonville (61-52) reliever Colton Hock (L, 1-1).

The Sounds took their first lead in the top of the seventh. After two quick outs, Frelick and Ruiz smacked back-to-back singles. 

Narvaez followed with a deep double off the right-center field wall, scoring both runners to give Nashville a 4-2 lead. Singleton followed with the fourth consecutive hit of the inning, scoring Narvaez to push the lead to 5-2.

The final run of the game came in the top of the eighth inning. Turang walked and Joey Wiemer reached on a fielder’s choice. Garrett Mitchell and Weston Wilson both walked to load the bases. Frelick swatted a base hit, increasing the Nashville advantage to 6-2.

Jacksonville initially got on the board first in the bottom of the second inning. With two outs, González (3) walloped a solo home run to put the Jumbo Shrimp ahead 1-0.

The Jumbo Shrimp added to their lead in the bottom of the fourth. Willians Astudillo singled and went to third on a double from Jordan Groshans. Victor Victor Mesa drove in Astudillo with a sac fly to give Jacksonville a 2-0 lead.

Jacksonville continues their series with Nashville at 7:05 p.m. on Thursday from 121 Financial Ballpark.

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan.

The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f
