The Sounds Help Local Baseball Recover From the Flood

The Nashville Sounds, the Sounds Foundation and Sponsors are helping local baseball organizations recover from the catastrophic flood in Nashville on May 1.

The Sounds and the "Play Ball!" Project sponsors have already donated more than $70,000 in cash and equipment to help leagues in five different cities in middle TN recover. The fields and leagues that were damaged and are receiving this much-needed help are: Mt. Juliet, Hendersonville, Ashland City, Bellevue and Shelby Park.

Five future Sounds home games will be dedicated to these five cities/neighborhoods, in late July and early August. The Sounds are donating a total of 12,000 tickets to those games- or the potential of $120,000. The Sounds ask people to come out and help the leagues recover.

The Project will assist up to 15,000 young ballplayers and 40 athletic fields in the area.
