Lookouts Come Back For 5-3 Win Over Wahoos
May 24, 2013
The Chattanooga Lookouts scored four runs in the eighth inning to down the Blue Wahoos 5-3 in the series opener at AT&T Field in Chattanooga on Thursday night. Pensacola scored a run in top of the inning to claim a brief one-run advantage before the Lookouts responded in the bottom of the frame.
Chattanooga struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Miguel Rojas scored from second on an RBI single by Blake Smith. An error by first baseman Joe Mather on a throw from third kept the inning alive resulting in the run being ruled unearned.
Pensacola answered with run in the top of the second when Brodie Greene singled home Devin Lohman from second base to tie the game at one. The game stayed tied until Bryson Smith delivered a bases loaded two-out single scoring Tucker Barnhart from third.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Lookouts tied the game when Rojas scored from second on a base hit by Yasiel Puig. After an intential walk loaded the bases, C.J. Retherford drove home two with a double to the right field corner putting the Lookouts up for good. Their final run scored from third on a caught stealing by J.T. Wise.
Travis Mattair provided a solo home run in the top of the ninth, but that was all the Wahoos would get before the Dodgers rehabbing reliever Scott Elbert retired the side to close out the game and earn the save.
Pensacola collected a season-high 14 hits, 12 of which were singles. Ryan LaMarre’s third inning double was the other in addition to Mattair’s home run. The Blue Wahoos matched a season-high with 12 runners left on base. Pensacola has also tied a season-high with five straight losses.
Despite pitching six innings and allowing just one unearned run, Chad Rogers took a no-decision. He struck out three, walked one and allowed just three hits. Loek Van Mil (L, 0-2) was charged with all four Lookout runs in the eighth to take the loss. Hector Nelo earned the win out of the Lookouts bullpen despite pitching just one out.
The two teams continue the series on Friday night. The Blue Wahoos will send LHP Ryan Dennick to the mound against Lookouts LHP Chris Reed. First pitch is set for 6:15 p.m.
