The Chattanooga Lookouts were bound to lose at some point this season.
It happened for the first time Saturday night at AT&T Field when the Huntsville Stars pinballed Lookouts starting pitcher Mario Alvarez in an 11-1 victory.
The Stars claimed their first victory of the season after falling to the Lookouts on Thursday and Friday.
Alvarez never appeared comfortable in his second Class AA start. He surrendered nine hits, two walks and six runs (five earned) in less than four innings of work. Of the 22 batters he faced, 11 reached base.
Huntsville finished with 16 hits while limiting the Lookouts to one hit. Chattanooga had more errors, two, than hits or runs.
