The elimination number for the Chattanooga Lookouts was three before Monday's game against Montgomery. A strong night for Chattanooga keeps the number from dropping to two as the Lookouts defeated the Biscuits 6-2.
Unlike the previous games the last two weekends, Chattanooga fired first and kept the pressure on throughout the entire game. Luke Raley and Jimmy Kerrigan both belted homers in the victory while great offense on the rest of the team and great defense put the Lookouts on top for the first time since last Thursday against Mississippi.
Tyler Wells (1-2) put in a stellar performance en-route to his first victory as a Chattanooga Lookout. In five innings pitched Wells had seven hits on him, two runs, and three strikeouts during the game. Everything clicked with the pitchers after Monday's performance giving Chattanooga their 58th victory of 2018.
The work is only just beginning for Chattanooga as last week, the Lookouts lost the series against the Mississippi Braves 4-1. Should Chattanooga put on another strong performance tomorrow night, they will have the upper hand on a series for the first time since August 3rd against Mississippi. Chattanooga would go on to win that series three games to two.
With Omar Bencomo on the DL, the Lookouts starter for game three is listed as TBA. They will face RHP Blake Bivens who will take to the mound for the Biscuits. Bivens is 0-1 since becoming a pitcher for Montgomery. His last start came on August 16th, 2018 against Jacksonville.
Tuesday's game three is slated for a first pitch at 6:35 p.m. CDT.
