The Chattanooga Lookouts could not hold on to an early three-run lead in their 6-5 loss to the Mississippi. In his Lookouts debut, starting pitcher Kevin Abel only allowed one in 4.1 innings.
Lookouts first baseman Nick Northcut started the scoring early with a two-run home run to give them an early 2-0 lead. He then added his second of the day, a solo shot, to make it 3-0.
After Mississippi added a run in the fifth, they took over control of the game with four runs in the top of the sixth.
Now trailing 5-3, Tyler Callihan smacked a solo homer and Bubba Thompson lasered a ground ball to tie the game up. In the the eighth, Mississippi's Cade Bunnell doubled to right field and advanced to third on an error. He then scored the go-ahead run on a Nick Northcut error.
Monday, the Lookouts rest up before heading on the road for two straight weeks, first to Tennessee and then to Rocket City. The team returns home on Tuesday, June 11.
