After not being expected to play again in the 2024 campaign following a knee injury, former Volunteer Christian Moore not only played for Rocket City against the Lookouts on Saturday night, but he collected three hits and four RBI's.
Moore wasn't the only story for the Trash Pandas however as their pitching staff took a no hitter into the ninth inning. Lookouts catcher Daniel Vellojin singled to break up the Rocket City no-hit bid. Before Vellojin's single, Rocket City only allowed one baserunner, a walk in the sixth inning, and recorded 17 strikeouts in their 8-0 win.
Trash Pandas' starting pitcher George Klassen went six hitless innings, striking out 12 Lookouts batters. Offensively the Trash Pandas recorded eight runs on 11 hits.
For the Lookouts, starter Thomas Farr dropped to 1-17 on the season as he allowed seven runs on nine hits in three innings. Reliever Jacob Healtherly threw two hitless innings and Bryce Hubbart closed the game out by only allowing one run in four innings.
Sunday is the last game of the year at AT&T Field and Deaf Awareness Day presented by Partnership FCA. First pitch is at 2:15 p.m.
