Jackson, Tenn. - Slugging first baseman Kevin Cron homered and the Jackson Generals brought home a 7-4 victory over Chattanooga to 4,896 fans on Saturday night.
Things got off to a great start for Chattanooga. Nick Gordon led off the game with a base hit and later came around to score.
By the time Kohl Stewart took the hill he had a 2-0 lead, and he even struck out the first batter he faced. Stewart lasted only four innings and while he only gave up two runs things did not go well. He issued four walks and threw a wild pitch that allowed a run to score. In 19.1 innings, Stewart has now walked 20 batters and has almost as many wild pitches (10) as strikeouts (11).
Matt Tracy came in to pitch the final four innings, but had the opposite issue. Tracy notched six strikeouts, but he also gave up five runs.
Right fielder Edgar Corcino had a nice game, going 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.
LaMonte Wade had a sac fly, a double and fought the wind to make a great leaping catch at the wall in left field.
