The Chattanooga Lookouts lost to the Mississippi Braves on Wednesday night by a score of 4-2.
The Lookouts started things right in the first inning as Dominic Pitelli stole second and third before he scored on a Quincy McAfee single.
The M-Braves (55-60, 24-23) tied the game in the third inning. Bryson Horne smacked his 12th double of the year to right-center, moved to third base on a Sebastian Rivero flyout, and scored on a Cal Conley sacrifice fly to left.
David McCale opened the fourth inning with a single, and then Ethan Workinger and Cody Milligan drew walks from Chattanooga starter Chase Petty (L, 9-4) to load the bases. McCabe sprinted home on a Petty wild pitch to give Mississippi a 2-1 lead. In his first game back from the injured list, Geraldo Quintero lined a single down the right field line to bring home Workinger and Milligan to make it 4-2.
Landon Harper (S, 1) surrendered a solo homer to Quincy McAfee in the eighth but struck out three over the final 3.0 innings to log his first save for the Braves.
