Ibarra Powers The Lookouts To 6-3 Win

  • Thursday, September 12, 2024

Lookouts first baseman Ruben Ibarra collected four hits including a home run to lead the Chattanooga Lookouts to a convincing 6-3 win over the Rocket City Trash Pandas.

Dominic Pitelli got things started for the Lookouts offense in the bottom of the first inning with a leadoff walk and advanced to third on an Austin Callahan double. Tyler Callihan followed with a two-run single to give the Lookouts the early lead. After a single and a walk, Callihan scored on a forceout.

The Trash Pandas responded in the top of the second when Caleb Ketchup hit a three-run homer, his first in Double-A, to tie the game.

In the third inning Austin Hendrick hit a go-ahead solo homer and then Chattanooga added their fifth run of the day in the fourth on another Tyler Callihan RBI. Ibarra's 12th home run of the season came in the 8th inning for the Lookouts final run.

Lookouts starting pitcher T.J. Sikkema pitched six strong innings to earn his third win of the season. The southpaw also struck out eight batters. In the ninth Braxton Roxby closed it out for his third save of the season.

On Thursday, Grant Gavin will look to extend the Lookouts win streak to three games as he takes the mound at 7:15 p.m.
