MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Lookouts found themselves in an early hole as the Biscuits were up three runs by the end of the third frame. Chattanooga clawed their way back to tie the game in the sixth but it would not be enough as Montgomery scored four in their last two plate appearances to win, 7-3.
The Lookouts were out hit in the contest, 10-to-5.
After winning the first-half, Chattanooga is still looking for their first win. With a record of 0-3 in the second-half, the Lookouts are in last place in the North Division.
Inning-by-inning game Recap
Brett Lee started for Chattanooga and took a no-decision after allowing three runs over five innings. He struck out one and walked three. Jake Reed was charged with the loss even though only one of the three runs he allowed was earned. Even JT Chargois, who has been very good this season, allowed a run in his inning of work.
Adam Brett Walker accounted for most of Chattanooga's offense as he smacked his 21st home run, a two-run shot. He also struck out two times in the game so it was a fairly typical night for Walker.
Miguel Sano reached in all four of his plate appearances with two walks, two singles and two runs scored. Levi Michael had a rough night as he struck out four times out of the lead-off spot.
Montgomery's Jake Faria made his first Double-A start, and was superb going six strong innings, striking out eight. His lone blemish was Walker's two-run home run in the sixth inning that made it 3-3.
In the bottom of the seventh, Joey Rickard would deliver a go-ahead RBI single off of Jake Reed (3-3) to make it 4-3 Biscuits. All of this after a controversial play that saw Biscuits manager Brady Williams get ejected for a second consecutive night.
Montgomery would tack on three more runs and Matt Lollis (1-0) and Parker Markel made sure the Lookouts didn't score again on a night that saw the Biscuits jump into first place in the North Division's second half standings.
Cameron Seitzer drove in three runs on the night with an RBI single in the first and a two-run home run in the third inning.
