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.

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or season:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
