Ifs, maybes and could-have-beens were abundant for both the Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Chattanooga Lookouts in their Southern League baseball game Wednesday in front of a crowd of 1,783 at AT&T Field.
Thanks to Beau Amaral’s two-out, two-run double in the top of the 10th inning, Pensacola was able to pull out a 10-9 victory, but not without a little more drama in the bottom of the inning in a game that lasted 3:51.
Chattanooga’s 10th started with a double by Stuart Turner followed by a single by Travis Harrison. Levi Michael’s sacrifice fly pulled the Lookouts within one.
After Adering Mejia popped to second baseman Ryan Wright in shallow right field, Harrison stole second base. But the Wahools’ Zack Weiss (1-3) closed it out by getting Shannon Wilkerson on a groundout.
Chattanooga (12-18, 55-43 overall) rallied from 4-0 and 5-1 deficits early in the game and took the lead at 6-5 when Max Kepler homered to right field after Heiker Meneses singled starting the bottom of the eighth. Mejia drove in two more that inning with a pop-fly single to center, giving the Lookouts a three-run cushion going to the ninth.
