CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Huntsville starting pitcher Mike Jones combined with two relievers to shutout the Lookouts in a 3-0 victory in Thursday night action at AT&T Field.
Huntsville took the early lead by plating two in the first. With one out, Shane Justis started the rally with a triple and scampered home on a subsequent Drew T. Anderson double. After a Kevin Melillo walk, Jonathan Lucroy ripped a double in the left-center field gap to score Anderson.
