Brewskis rally from 5-1 down, top Bulls 8-5 for fourth straight win
Down 5-1, Nashville ripped off seven straight runs and Akil Baddoo drove in five of the eight runs in a fourth straight win over Durham.
Nashville looked buried early, trailing 5-1 after Durham’s third-inning power burst, but the Brewskis flipped the night with seven unanswered runs and an 8-5 win at First Horizon Park. The comeback gave Nashville a four-game winning streak and turned what had been a shaky start into the kind of statement result that gets noticed in an affiliate-to-MLB conversation.
Durham opened the scoring when Tatem Levins doubled in a run in the first, and Jett Williams answered with a leadoff homer to tie it 1-1. The Bulls then punched back hard in the third, using back-to-back homers from Levins and Tre’ Morgan to build a 5-1 lead and put Nashville on the ropes. At that point, the game looked like a Bulls knockout waiting to happen.
Instead, the bottom of the third belonged to Nashville. The Brewskis used a walk, a forceout, Luis Lara’s RBI single, Akil Baddoo’s first triple of the season and a pair of other timely hits to pull even at 5-5. It was the swing-instant of the game, and it came with no wasted motion: Nashville did not just chip away, it erased the deficit in one frame and changed the temperature in the park.
The fourth inning finished the job. Greg Jones doubled to start the rally, Pratt drove him in, and Baddoo followed with a two-run homer that pushed Nashville in front 8-5. Baddoo finished 2-for-3 with two runs and three RBI, his second straight three-RBI performance, and that middle-of-the-order surge is exactly the kind of production that can force a front office to pay closer attention.
Brett Wichrowski earned the win, his second career Triple-A victory, adding another layer to a night that mattered beyond one comeback. The 23-year-old left-hander, born in Voorhees, New Jersey, and drafted by Milwaukee in the 13th round in 2023 out of Bryant, got a result that keeps his name in the mix as Nashville keeps pushing in the International League race. Durham, meanwhile, dropped to its eighth straight loss, and the series stayed at First Horizon Park with Nashville carrying all the momentum.
