Luke Raley came within a double of the cycle Friday night, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs to lead the Chattanooga Lookouts to an 8-2 victory over the Jackson Generals in front of 2,658 at AT&T Field.
Raley had an RBI triple in the first inning, singled to load the bases during a two-run third and hit a two-run homer in the fifth.
Brent Rooker, who finished 1-for-2 with three walks, scored on Raley’s triple and his single. Rooker drew a one-out walk in the first and led off the fifth with a single.
In the third, Rooker’s walk and Raley’s single followed Zander Wiel’s one-out hit. That set up back-to-back RBIs by Jaylin Davis, who singled, and Mitchell Kranson, who had a sacrifice fly to center field.
Jackson scored its runs in the fifth, when Galli Cribbs led off with a single and scored on Jason Morozowski’s double to center. Domingo Leyba’s two-out single drove in Morozowski to cut Chattanooga’s lead to 3-2.
