Adam Moore hit a two out home run in the top of the ninth inning to lift the Diamond Jaxx to a 8-7 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts in game two of a four game series from AT&T Field.

With the Diamond Jaxx in front 7-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Chattanooga scored five runs off winning pitcher Marwin Vega (2-2) to tie the game at seven. The key blow was a two out grand slam by Danny Dorn that tied the game.

It looked like Chattanooga had all the momentum as Pedro Viola (1-5) retired the first two batters in the top of the ninth, but Moore gave the Diamond Jaxx the lead for good when he hit a prodigious blast over the left field wall, deep into the Chattanooga night.

Sean Kelley retired the side in order to pick up his second save of the season as the Diamond Jaxx improve their second half record to 5-9, one game behind Chattanooga for fourth place in the Northern Division.

Game three of the five game series takes place on Wednesday afternoon at 12:15 EDT. LHP Ryan Ketchner (6-4 4.32) gets his first start after being named to the All-Star team. Lefty Camilio Vazquez will start for Chattanooga.
