[edit] Regular season
On July 17, Bryan Kelly pitched the club’s second no-hitter against the Oklahoma City 89ers, a 6-0 win. Nashville ended the season in second place in the Eastern Division, missing out on finishing in first place by two and a half games. Since August 13, they either shared or held the lead with the Louisville Redbirds. The Sounds had a three-game lead on August 20, but a five-game losing streak during their last road trip knocked them out of contention for the lead.[1]
