Two more insurance runs were added by Chattanooga in the eighth frame, courtesy of an Anthony Hatch two-run shot.

Montgomery would makes some offensive overtures in the ninth, scoring a run on a Matt Fields RBI double, but Lookouts reliever Eric Krebs would settle down to retire the final three batters.
