Shuckers Fall to Lookouts on Late Comeback

CHATTANOOGA, TN – Tate Kuehner turned in a strong start for the Biloxi Shuckers (35-24), but a five-run sixth inning from the Chattanooga Lookouts (30-25) proved to be the difference in a 6-5 loss at AT&T Field on Wednesday night.

The Shuckers struck first with a solo home run from Mike Boeve in the third, his third of the season. The Lookouts tied the game in the fourth with an RBI single from Austin Hendrick, but the Shuckers pounced with three runs in the fifth on an RBI single from Luke Adams and a two-RBI single from Cooper Pratt, making it 4-1.

In the sixth, Ruben Ibarra cut into the Shuckers’ lead with an RBI single to right, making it 4-2. Later in the inning, the Lookouts took a 6-4 lead on an RBI fielder’s choice from Ethan O’Donnell and a three-run home run from Edwin Arroyo. The Shuckers made it a one-run game in the seventh when a pitch with the bases loaded hit Zavier Warren, driving in a run. Lookouts closer, Trevor Kuncl, then entered with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh and stranded four baserunners across 2.1 innings, picking up his seventh save of the season. Jose Franco (5-2) earned the win while Ryan Middendorf (0-1) took the loss.

On the mound, Shuckers’ starter Tate Kuehner continued his hot streak, allowing one unearned run over 5.0 innings with five strikeouts. Over his last six starts, Kuehner has allowed four earned runs across 32.0 innings, a 1.57 ERA. Cooper Pratt (2-for-4) recorded the lone multi-hit performance of the game for the Shuckers.
