The Chattanooga Lookouts didn't score after the first inning Friday night but the four runs turned out to be plenty as Lookouts pitchers held the Trash Pandas to just two runs on six hits with nine strikeouts. Starting pitcher Ryan Cardona tossed six innings, struck out six and gave up only one run. Trevor Kuncl gave up a rare run in the ninth inning but earned his eighth save.
Sal Stewart and Cam Collier both had RBI doubles in the first inning. Leadoff hitter Hector Rodriguez continued his hot streak going 4-5 with a run scored.
The two teams meet up for a doubleheader Saturday evening at 5 p.m. and then conclude the series Sunday afternoon.
