Williams Slaps 5 Hits
Friday, May 30th , 2025
A jubilant Peyton Williams joined the postgame press conference at First Horizon Park to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Memphis Redbirds pitching staff he had just vanquished.
"It may not have looked like it," said the Nashville Sounds first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."
That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 16-8 Sounds win.
"He made it look easy," said , manager of the Redbirds. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."
Peyton Williams singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 5th, hit a sac fly in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 8th.
This season in 43 games, Williams is batting .372 with 11 home runs, 38 RBIs and has scored 27 times.
