Lookouts Lock Up Series With 7-3 Win Over The Blue Wahoos

June 28, 2014

The Blue Wahoos scored first with a run in the third, but the Lookouts delivered a three-run counter punch in the bottom of the inning and never looked back on their way to a 7-3 win Friday night at AT&T Field. The win assures a series win for Chattanooga.

Pensacola loaded the bases with nobody out in the first inning and didn’t score and loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth inning and came up empty. The Blue Wahoos left a total of 13 runners on base for the game. Already leading 4-1, Chattanooga put the game away with a pair of run in the seventh inning with a passed ball and RBI double.

Robert Stephenson took the loss after allowing 4 R/ER over 5.0 innings. He struck out five and walked two. He allowed five hits, three went for extra bases.

Lookouts starter Andres Santiago picked up the win after allowing just 1 R/ER over 5.0 innings with one walk and five strikeouts. Blake Smith earned the save after recording the final four outs for the Lookouts.

Ryan Wright was one of the bright spots for the Blue Wahoos offensively. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI. It was his second multi-hit game of the series. Ross Perez (2-for-5) and Kyle Waldrop (2-for-4) both had multi-hit games as well for the Blue Wahoos.

Pensacola will try to salvage the final game of the series on Saturday night. RHP Ben Lively will make his second start for the Blue Wahoos (0-1, 7.36) against Lookouts RHP Rayden Sanchez (1-4, 5.97).  First pitch is set for 6:15 p.m. (CT) before the team returns home to open a five-game homestand against the Jacksonville Suns on Sunday afternoon.
