The Chattanooga Lookouts added a new wrinkle to their second-half struggles Saturday night in Jacksonville – being unable to score any runs.
The Lookouts – who won the Southern League’s Northern Division first-half title but have lost four straight games and seven of eight to start the second half – were shut out for the first time this season as they lost 3-0 to the Suns.
Chattanooga, which in recent weeks has lost several of its best players to call-ups to higher levels of the game, was held to two hits.
The Suns led 2-0 after the first inning and added their final run in the fifth, the same inning Chattanooga’s Heiker Meneses broke up Trevor Williams’ no-hitter bid with a single to left field.
Meneses and Max Kepler each finished with a hit and a walk. Travis Harrison, who drew a walk, was the only other Lookout to reach base.
