A long night at AT&T Field became even longer when the Chattanooga Lookouts fell into last place in the Southern League’s North Division early this morning.
Lookouts starting pitcher Chris Withrow allowed five runs in the first three innings as West Tenn rolled to an 8-3 victory that followed a 95-minute rain delay Thursday evening. Johan Limonta, Scott Savastano and Guillermo Quiroz each doubled to left field off Withrow in the first three innings, with Limonta and Quiroz driving in runs.
David Pfeiffer replaced Withrow after four innings and worked a scoreless fifth and sixth before allowing four hits and a walk in the seventh as the Diamond Jaxx scored twice to extend their lead to 8-3.
The Lookouts were in first place throughout the first two weeks of the second half, building a 9-4 record, but they are now 17-22 entering tonight’s series finale.
