CHATTANOOGA, TN - The Montgomery Biscuits came up just short in a 4-3 loss to the Chattanooga Lookouts on Thursday night at Erlanger Park.
The Montgomery Biscuits (5-6) struck first in the second inning when Ryan Spikes lined an RBI single to right field, scoring Daniel Vellojin. A wild pitch later in the frame allowed Spikes to come home, giving Montgomery a 2-0 lead.
Chattanooga (8-3) responded in the third inning as Cade Hunter launched a two-run home run to right field, tying the game at 2-2.
The Lookouts took the lead in the fourth inning when Austin Hendrick doubled to right field, bringing home Jay Allen II to make it 3-2.
Chattanooga added another run in the fifth inning on a solo home run from Leo Balcazar, extending the advantage to 4-2.
Montgomery chipped away in the eighth inning when Will Simpson blasted a solo home run to right-center field, cutting the deficit to 4-3.
The Biscuits threatened late but could not complete the comeback, stranding multiple runners as Chattanooga held on for the one-run victory.
Kevin Abel (1-0) earned the win for the Lookouts, allowing two runs over 5.0 innings while striking out five. The Montgomery bullpen combined to allow just one run over the final four innings, but the early deficit proved too much to overcome.
Simpson led the Biscuits offensively with his third home run of the season, while Spikes added an RBI and scored a run. Montgomery finished with seven hits but went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base.
Chattanooga totaled six hits, including home runs from Hunter and Balcazar, and went 1-for-3 with runners in scoring position.
