"Knoxville got off to a fast start in game one of their week-long set with the Columbus Clingstones (Braves), and they finished with a bang as well. The Smokies started out the game scoring a run in the first, second, and third innings. In the first, a Karson Simas leadoff homer made it 1-0. After Columbus tied it in the bottom of the first, Alex Ramírez gave the Smokies the lead right back with a solo homer of his own. Then, in the third, it was Ramírez again, this time with a sac fly, getting Knoxville across the plate."
Iowa Cubs took an early 1-0 lead against the Nashville Sounds after Pedro Ramirez reached on a walk, advanced on a BJ Murray single, stole third, and scored on a passed ball. Nashville tied the game in the second and then scored two runs in both the third and fourth innings off Paul Campbell. Ryan Jensen relieved Campbell and allowed four runs in 1.1 innings, turning the 1-0 lead into a 9-2 deficit. Iowa added a run in the seventh on a throwing error after a Justin Dean single, but the game ended 9-3 for Nashville. Knoxville jumped ahead early against Columbus, scoring in the first, second, and third innings, including homers and a sacrifice fly by Alex Ramirez.
