Mobile BayBears News Release
Mobile, AL - The Mobile BayBears had their six game win streak snapped by the Chattanooga Lookouts, falling 6-1 at Hank Aaron Stadium Saturday night. The Lookouts scored early with a three-run homer from Luis Nunez in the second inning. Chattanooga knocked 12 hits against the BayBears pitching staff, and Mobile was held to just the one run on six hits.
The Lookouts three-run second inning was sparked when Griff Erickson reached on a one out single against lefty Tyler Skaggs. Nick Buss added a single of his own, putting runners at first and second base. With two outs in the inning, Luis Nunez brought in both runners with a three-run home run, giving Chattanooga a 3-0 lead. It was the fifth home run allowed by Skaggs in 2012 and the fourth against the Lookouts.
The BayBears loan run came off the bat of Matt Davidson who lined an RBI single in the third inning. Davidson would finish the game as the only BayBear hitter to record multiple hits. Skaggs suffered the loss and left the game after just three innings, allowing three runs on five hits.
Mobile and Chattanooga resume their series Sunday, May 13, with first pitch scheduled for 2:05 PM. The BayBears will send out RHP Derek Eitel (3-2) and the Lookouts will counter with RHP Chris Withrow (1-1).
