Rocket City Trash Pandas News Release
MADISON, ALABAMA - Rocket City failed to crack the scoreboard in a pitcher's duel, falling 1-0 to the Tennessee Smokies on Saturday.
The hyped-up pitching matchup lived up to expectations as Tennessee's Cade Horton (W, 1-0) and the Trash Pandas' Caden Dana (L, 1-2) kept the game scoreless through the first four innings.
Tennessee broke the ice in the fifth as infielder Josh Rivera launched a solo home run off Dana to give the Smokies a lead.
Horton matched his longest outing at the Double-A level with five innings while only allowing five hits and striking out six.
The Smokies bullpen finished off the 1-0 victory, highlighted by 1.2 hitless innings from Frankie Scalzo Jr. (S, 4) to finish the game.
The Trash Pandas will look to garner a series split on Sunday for Lacrosse Day with first pitch set for 2:35 p.m. Josh Caray will have the call on WZZN 97.7-HD2.
Probable Starters: Chase Chaney (RCT) vs. Connor Noland (TEN)
