Mobile, AL - -  Trailing going into the top of the ninth in Mobile 2-0 proved to be the set up for early fireworks in a 4-2 Lookouts win over the Mobile BayBears

 The Chattanooga offense did pretty much nothing through the first eight innings in their game Friday, but a four-run rally in the ninth frame gave them another big win. And, Tanner English got to play hero again. 

Zack Littell was scheduled to pitch for the Lookouts, but he was promoted to Rochester. So Omar Bencomo stepped in. The right-handed veteran threw five innings. He gave up two runs on six hits. He struck out two.

Anthony McIver struck out two over the next two innings of scoreless relief. He gave up two hits and a walk. Sam Clay gave up a hit and walked two, but he struck out four over two scoreless innings. 

Brian Olson recorded his first hit of the season, and his second, and his third. While one was a double, his third hit got things going in the ninth inning. His single scored Chris Paul to put the Lookouts on the board. It was followed by a two-run triple by Tanner English who then scored on a LaMonte Wade single.
