Branson Delivers Clutch At-Bat for Nashville in Walk-Off Win
The Sounds had to overcome a fine effort from Portland pitcher Omar Olivares to grab a narrow 4-3 win at Red Devils Stadium. Olivares went 8 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. Nashville is now 22-24, while Portland is 23-23.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Jeff Branson came to bat in the bottom of the 11th. Facing Portland pitcher Dilson Torres, he hit a 1-2 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Nashville on top, 4-3.

"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Branson said.
