Birmingham, AL - The Birmingham Barons snapped their season-high four-game losing streak with a 7-2 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts Sunday in front of fans at AT&T Field.
The Lookouts took an early 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Brian Cavazos-Galvez off of Barons starter Scott Snodgress.
The red-hot Micah Johnson would tie the game at 1-1 in the third on an RBI single of his own.
The team's would trade zeroes over the next three innings before a four-run seventh gave the Barons a commanding 5-1 lead. Rangel Ravelo led off the inning with his second double of the afternoon and scored two batters later on a two-run double by Michael Earley. Early would score on the next pitch as Miguel Gonzalez made it back-to-back doubles against reliever Juan Gonzalez. Johnson would cap the scoring with an RBI groundout to score Gonzalez.
Ravelo added two insurance runs in the eight with a two-run double to center, his third double of the afternoon giving the Barons a 7-2 advantage.
