NASHVILLE – The Nashville Stampede punctuated the second day of their first-ever homestand in Music City with an exhilarating walk-off win against the Ariat Texas Rattlers compliments of a crucial score in the bottom of the fifth from the team’s latest signee, and three-time PBR (Professional Bull Riders) World Champion, Silvano Alves.

As the final game of the evening, the Nashville Stampede and Ariat Texas Rattlers were scoreless through the first four frames. After the Rattlers’ Braidy Randolph was brought down short of the whistle, the fate of the game rested in Alves’ hands, the last man left who could break the 0-0 tie.

Alves, who joined the team just days prior, answered the call for the Stampede, delivering a game-winning, 85.25-point score to earn the win for the Justin McBride-coached outfit. The Nashville Stampede are now the first team in PBR Team Series history to win in their hometown.

Earlier in the event, the Austin Gamblers remained red-hot, earning their fifth-consecutive win when they defeated the Carolina Cowboys. The Austin Gamblers will enter Sunday as the only team with a perfect 2-0 record at Stampede Days.

The Missouri Thunder rebounded from their Friday night loss, defeating the Oklahoma Freedom courtesy of a clutch decision by Co-Head Coach Ross Freeman to decline a re-ride opportunity.

In the third game of the night, the Arizona Ridge Riders snapped a three-game losing streak, taking down the Kansas City Outlaws by one ride score.

Nashville Stampede: 85.25

Ariat Texas Rattlers: 0.00

Three-time PBR (Professional Bull Riders) World Champion Silvano Alves (Pilar do Sul, Brazil) broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth, riding his bull and propelling the Nashville Stampede to a dramatic walk-off win against the Ariat Texas Rattlers during the final game of the second night of Stampede Days inside Bridgestone Arena.

The Stampede made PBR Team Series history in becoming the first team to win a game in their hometown, defeating the Rattlers 85.25-0.

Despite gritty performances through the first four frames of the game, the showdown between the Rattlers and Stampede entered the final round scoreless.

As the last hopes for each roster, young gun Braidy Randolph (Jonestown, Pennsylvania) was in the closing position for Texas, while recently signed Alves was in the final slot for Nashville. Randolph, was unable to post a score for the Rattlers, bucked off by Big Whiskey (Tex Brothers Ranch/5S Bucking Bulls) in 5.79 seconds.

The fate of the game then rested in Alves’ hands as he climbed aboard Yatesy Down Under (Next Level Bucking Bulls). After some difficulty in the chutes, Alves erupted into the arena remaining in perfect time with the animal athlete as he bucked with great vigor.

Reaching the requisite 8 for 85.25 points, Alves clinched the victory for the home team as the back of the bucking chutes cleared and a celebration erupted on the dirt.

The Nashville Stampede (3-6) will look to continue the momentum Sunday, seeking their second consecutive win when they take on the Kansas City Outlaws (3-6). The Ariat Texas Rattlers (3-6) will look to reverse their fortunes from the scoreless defeat when they play the Carolina Cowboys (4-5).
