The Stripers lead the series 2-1.

Decisive Plays: Following singles from Sandy Leon and Brewer Hicklen with two outs in the fifth, Jarvis tucked a three-run homer (2) inside the right field foul pole to put Gwinnett ahead 3-1. Nashville utilized a key Stripers error to knot it up at 3-3 in the seventh. In the eighth, former Striper Eddys Leonard belted his second solo homer of the night (2) to make it 4-3 Sounds. Nashville added two insurance runs in the ninth for the 6-3 victory.
