"Nimmala collected one hit in his debut while striking out three times against the Sea Dogs. His first at-bat ended with him going down looking on four pitches."
"After taking a ball inside, Ziehl tried to sneak another pitch inside, and Nimmala was able to get the barrel to the bat and send a line drive to the opposite field."
"On four chances, Nimmala converted three assists with one putout. It was a tough day for the 20-year-old at the plate, who is getting a new opportunity in a league where the average age is +3.8 years."
