The Biloxi Shuckers didn't mount much of an offensive challenge Wednesday night.

Neither did the Chattanooga Lookouts, though, and they gave the Shuckers help during a rough inning on the mound that supplied all the runs Biloxi needed for a 3-0 home win.

Biloxi took advantage of four walks - all issued with two outs - during its three-run fourth, and Chattanooga was unable to capitalize on its offensive opportunities on a light-hitting night for both teams. Each team finished with four hits.

The Lookouts went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left six baserunners stranded. They've been shut out three times in the past 13 games after not being held scoreless at all during the season's first half.

Brett Lee (0-4) took the loss, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and five walks while striking out three.

No Chattanooga player had more than one hit. Max Kepler had a hit and a walk, one of three drawn by the Lookouts.

After winning the Southern League's Northern Division title during the first half, the Lookouts are 6-14 since the break, although they had won back-to-back games going into Wednesday's game.

Game three of a five-game series in Biloxi is tonight at 8:10 EDT. D.J. Baxendale (3-2, 3.99) is scheduled to start for the Lookouts, with Johnny Hellweg (0-2, 7.20) going to the mound for the Shuckers.
