Nashville, Tennessee: The most beautiful beaches – In a duel between the pitchers of both teams, the Nashville Brewskis (64-58, 26-21) won the game with a bang Christian Arroyo bat as the veteran infielder hit a walk-off blast to give Nashville a 2-1 victory over the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (59-62, 24-22) on Thursday night at First Horizon Park.

Arroyo led off the ninth and turned a 2-1 score into a 2-1 final score.

Arroyo's home run, which had an exit velocity of 105.1 mph, was his first of the season and came in dramatic fashion.

The home run ended a quiet night for both sides. Jacksonville scored its only point of the evening with a walk with the bases loaded in the second inning without a single hit. The Sounds answered in the sixth inning when Arroyo hit a single to left that Freddy Zamora.

After finding the zone in the second inning, Carlos Rodriguez got off to a good start. The right-hander held the Jumbo Shrimp to just two hits with five strikeouts in six innings. A hat trick from Brewski's relievers ensured an even game. Kevin Herget, Enoli Paredes And Ryan Middendorf (2-0) kept Jacksonville hitless in the last three innings.

Nashville scored seven goals, Arroyo, Zamora, Wes Clarke, Brian Navarreto and Carlos Rodriguez got a hit. Clarke's single in the seventh inning extended his on-base streak to 19 games, the team's longest this season. Jacksonville went hitless in the first four innings.
