The Chattanooga Lookouts' homecoming did not stop their slide.
After losing four games in a row at Mobile, the last three by one run each, the Lookouts fell 7-3 to the visiting Jacksonville Suns in Friday night's return to AT&T Field.
That dropped them below .500 at 20-21 for the Southern League's second half.
The Suns, also 20-21, took advantage of two errors for four unearned runs against Chattanooga starting pitcher Aaron Siegers (8-6) - two apiece in the third and fifth innings - and were credited with only five runs batted in. Two of those were by number-nine batter Cam Maron, who was 2-for-4 and also scored a run.
Ryan Walker was 3-for-4, Niko Goodrum 2-for-2 and Zach Granite 2-for-3, each with an RBI, for Chattanoga.
Goodrum also walked twice, and his second-inning home run gave the home team a short-lived 1-0 lead.
Down 4-1, the Lookouts scored twice in the bottom of the fifth when Engelb Vielma tripled to right field with one out and scored on Granite's single. Then Granite pulled off his 39th stolen base of the season and scored on Walker's two-out single, but the Suns got those two runs right back when Brandon Peterson replaced Siegers on the mound and gave up three consecutive walks and Maron's two-run single before notching three consecutive strikeouts.
Peterson recorded his fourth strikeout and fourth walk in a scoreless seventh inning.
Chris Mazza (4-3) was the winning pitcher despite giving up eight hits and two walks in five innings.
Kenny Wilson went 2-for-5 with two runs scored for Jacksonville, and Alex Glenn also went 2-for-5.
Garrett Weber, eighth in the Jacksonville lineup, homered for the game's final run in the eighth.
Kohl Stewart (5-5, 3.19 ERA) is Chattanooga's scheduled starting pitcher for tonight's 7:15 game.
