CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Lookouts relief pitcher David Pfeiffer had a rare day in which he not only earned a win on the mound, but collected two hits, including a go-ahead RBI single in a 5-3 finish at AT&T Field on Thursday night.

Chattanooga countered with two runs in the bottom portion of the second to take the lead. Jerry Sands led off with a single and advanced to second on an Eddy Perez walk. Jaime Pedroza followed with a bunt to put push both runners into scoring position. After a Kyle Russell strikeout, Matt Wallach ripped a single that caromed off of third baseman Russ Canzler to plate both runners.
Guyer struck again for Tennessee with a two-run shot in the fourth frame to give the Smokies a 3-2 edge.
A pivotal three-run inning in the bottom of the sixth gave the Lookouts the lead for good. Sands began the rally with a double and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Jaime Pedroza then walked and swiped second to put runners in scoring position. With two outs, a wild pitch by Chris Carpenter (8-6) on an intentional ball attempt tied up the score.
