Tailgators Suffer 7-4 Road Loss
The Nashville Lasers picked up a win at Lasers Ballpark, knocking off the Chesapeake Tailgators, 7-4. Starting pitcher Alex Avila was a big reason why. The winner was Avila. He threw 6.1 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Melvin Gamboa. Joel Racinowski finished to wrap up his 5th save.

Lee Peck had a big 3-run home run for the Lasers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Nashville leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from Melvin Gamboa, who is tied for 4th in the SC in quality starts with 17, and punished it. The result was his 19th home run of the season, which put the Lasers on top, 5-0.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Peck told the Nashville Bulletin. "It's as simple as that."

Nashville is now 81-62, Chesapeake 60-83.
