The Chattanooga Lookouts had one hit through four innings Monday night against Huntsville pitcher Willy Peralta before batting around against him in the fifth.
In Peralta’s defense, he had no defense.
Two Stars throwing errors led to six unearned Chattanooga runs in the fifth as the Lookouts erupted for a 10-7 victory before an AT&T Field crowd of 3,562. It was the sixth victory in seven games for the Lookouts, who improved to 7-4.
“When you’re facing an ace like that, you’ve got to be able to take advantage of those situations,” Lookouts leadoff hitter Brad Coon said. “Once you get a couple of things to fall your way, you see a little chink in their armor and your confidence gets going. We capitalized when we needed to.”
Coon had four hits to lead Chattanooga’s 14-hit attack, followed by two apiece by Kyle Russell, Scott Van Slyke and Jaime Pedroza.
