Sean Henry should have been the happiest man at AT&T Field on Wednesday afternoon.

His two-out single down the left-field line in the bottom of the ninth inning scored Shaun Cumberland from third and propelled the Chattanooga Lookouts to a 5-4 comeback victory over the Huntsville Stars. Chattanooga clinched the series with the win and pulled back to within five games of the Southern League’s North Division lead, but Henry was oblivious of the importance of his hit.

Emotionally, he was still stuck in a second-inning collision with teammate Justin Turner.

“I’ve never hurt a teammate in my whole career, and today it was wrong for me to play after that, because I knew I hurt him really bad,” Henry said. “I felt bad throughout the whole game.”

Huntsville’s Angel Salome opened the second inning with a blooper that sent Turner bolting from second base and into right field. Neither player called the other one off, and the result was Turner diving into Henry’s knee and the two teammates lying on the grass.

Turner was taken to the clubhouse and was then taken to Erlanger Hospital for tests, which manager Mike Goff said came back negative.

“It looks like he has a Grade 2 concussion,” Goff said. “If I’m guessing, it’s probably going to be seven to 10 games minimum before we try to get him back in there. He had some short-term memory loss, and any time you get that with the headaches and the knot on his forehead, you don’t want to take any chances.”

Goff had time to spend with Turner in the clubhouse because he had been ejected.

Once the ball dropped between Turner and Henry, Salome rounded first, paused momentarily, and sprinted for second. Henry picked up the ball and threw to shortstop Chris Valaika for the out, but first-base umpire Toby Basner apparently called time, and Salome was sent back to first.

When asked what reasoning the umpires gave for stopping the game, Goff said it was “so stupid” that he hated to even comment.

“I hadn’t seen that happen in 30 years in the game, and I don’t think anybody here has seen that happen,” Goff said. “It was one of those things that you think is a judgment call but in reality becomes a rules call, but I’d rather not comment on what their so-called reasoning was.”

Goff’s first ejection this season resulted in Jamie Dismuke taking over, and he was put to the test from a personnel standpoint. Center fielder B.J. Szymanski was promoted to Triple-A Louisville before the game to replace Corey Patterson, and then Turner got hurt.

Drew Anderson came in for Turner, and when Cody Strait pinch-hit in the sixth and Craig Tatum pinch-hit in the ninth, Dismuke was out of position players.

“I wanted to take a shot right there,” Dismuke said. “I have confidence in these guys, and they came through.”

Tatum lined to right for the second out of the ninth, but Cumberland followed with a single to right and Eric Eymann doubled to left-center to set the stage for Henry.

The Lookouts are 31-29 and close out the first half at Tennessee and at West Tenn. Huntsville and West Tenn share the North lead at 36-24 and begin a five-game series tonight in Huntsville.

“We hope those guys beat each other up pretty good,” Goff said. “Hopefully we can get within three or four games when we get to West Tenn and get a few things to go our way.”

Jordan Smith (1-1, 4.76 ERA) is scheduled to start tonight for the Lookouts, with Donnie Veal (3-4, 2.60) scheduled for the Smokies
