NASHVILLE – The Nashville Hot Chickens (48-37, 8-3) took the lead with two solo shots in the sixth and held on to take a weather-shortened 7-6 victory over the Columbus Clippers (39-46, 6-5) in seven and a half innings on Sunday afternoon at First Horizon Park. Play was stopped in the middle of the eighth inning due to wet grounds and did not restart due to unplayable field conditions and incoming weather.

Left-hander Levi Stoudt (2-3, 5.23) gets the ball for Louisville. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. CDT at Louisville Slugger Field.
