The Chattanooga Lookouts fell to the Tennessee Smokies on Saturday night 5-3 for their third loss in a row. After a sixth inning rally tied the game up at 3-3 the bullpen faltered giving up two late runs.
Offensively the Lookouts were paced by second baseman Tyler Callihan who collected two hits on the night and first baseman Ruben Ibarra who knocked in two of their three runs. The Lookouts had six starters in the lineup hitting .203 or worse as they continue to struggle to manufacture runs.
On the mound starter Thomas Farr, who is 1-12 on the season, went five innings allowing three earned runs on four hits, striking out four. His e.r.a. on the season is 4.85. Reliever Braxton Roxby took the loss giving up the deciding earned run. He walked four over an inning and a third of work.
The Lookouts conclude their series on Sunday with the Smokies before heading home to begin a series on Tuesday night with the Rocket City Trash Pandas. Former Vol Christian Moore comes into Chattanooga blistering hot for the Trash Pandas. He is hitting .543 on the season with six homeruns. First pitch on Tuesday night is set for 7:15 p.m. followed by a double header on Wednesday.
