The Chattanooga Lookouts’ losing streak reached a dirty dozen Friday night.
The Lookouts dropped their 12th in a row and did so by 12 runs, with the Jackonsville Jumbo Shrimp’s 15-3 win at AT&T Field extending a skid that started with a loss to the Jackson Generals on July 5.
Jacksonville piled up 19 hits, with left fielder Stone Garrett going 5-for-6 with a home run, a double, four runs driven in and four scored.
Chattanooga trailed 3-0 entering the bottom of the fifth, when Stuart Fairchild and Tyler Stephenson led off with back-to-back singles before scoring on Calten Daal’s double. Brantley Bell followed with another double, but Daal didn’t advance beyond third and the rally stopped there.
Jacksonville scored eight runs in the sixth, when it sent 13 batters to the plate, including eight before the Lookouts recorded an out. Chattanooga got its final run in the bottom of the inning, when Mitch Nay hit a leadoff double, then advanced and scored on consecutive groundouts.
