MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game homestand with an 11-3 win over the Nashville Sounds (Triple-A, Milwaukee Brewers) on Saturday night at AutoZone Park.
 
Center fielder Matt Koperniak thrived out of the leadoff spot for Memphis in the win.
 
The left-handed hitter smacked two three-run homers in consecutive plate appearances and finished the night 3-for-5 with two runs scored, two home runs and six runs batted in. The game was the Hoosac Valley High School graduate's first multi-homer game of the season and a new season high for RBIs in a single game.
 
One batter after Koperniak’s home run in the sixth inning, right fielder Jordan Walker clubbed his first home run at Triple-A this season. Shortstop Arquimedes Gamboa posted his best game as a Redbird with a 2-for-3 4 RBI performance.
 
For the season, Koperniak is second on the Redbirds with a .302 batting average. He also has a .473 slugging percentage with six homers and 11 doubles.
 
Memphis, the Triple-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, currently is in third place in the International League West.

Letter: Christine Hoyt for Selectman

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Christine Hoyt is the only option for Adams.

Over the past few years, Christine Hoyt has consistently shown what real commitment to our town looks like. She puts in the time, does the work, and shows up for this community again and again. What stands out most to me is her attitude. She is unrelentingly positive, solutions-oriented, and focused on moving Adams forward.

Local leadership matters, and it requires collaboration, energy, and a genuine belief in the future of our town. Christine brings all of that and more. She works harder for Adams than anyone I've met, and it shows in everything she does.

At a time when it would be easy to fall into negativity, I truly believe we need leaders who are focused on progress, not division. Christine is exactly that kind of leader.

If you care about the direction of Adams, I hope you'll consider supporting Christine Hoyt for Board of Selectmen!

Brianna Hantman
Adams, Mass.
