The Chattanooga Lookouts scored a run in the ninth inning to stave off defeat but lost 7-6 in 11 to Tennessee in their Southern League baseball game Saturday night at AT&T Field.
In the 11th, the Smokies’ Victor Caratini hit a two-out single to left field to score Trey Martin, who singled ahead of a Chesny Young walk with one out and went to third on Ian Happ’s flyout to center. Then Starling Peralta (5-1) got the Lookouts 1-2-3 for the win.
Tennessee’s Daniel Lockhart led off the ninth with a single and advanced on a Martin sacrifice bunt and a Young single. Chattanooga’s Ryan Walker began the bottom half with a walk and scored on Travis Harrison’s one-out double. Harrison was thrown out trying to make it a triple.
The Lookouts loaded the bases in the 10th on Edgar Corcino’s one-out walk, Engelb Vielma’s single and Zach Granite’s two-out walk, but Walker grounded out to first to end that threat.
The Lookouts took a 4-0 lead in the second inning, when Harrison singled and Stuart Turner walked ahead of Corcino’s home run to right field, followed by a two-out single from Levi Michael, a Granite walk and Walker’s RBI single. But Tennessee got one run back in the third and added a two-run homer by Bijan Rademacher in the fourth, before Chattanooga made it 5-3 with Leonardo Reginatto’s bases-loaded walk in the fifth.
