An inning later, the Shuckers took their first lead of the night with back-to-back RBI base hits from es Clarke and Zamora.
The Lookouts tied the game at four in the sixth with another solo blast from Johnson.

One batter later, Jeferson Quero brought in Chourio with a line-drive single to left. They then extended the lead to 9-4 with a two-RBI double from Murray in the seventh. Two batters later, Tyler Black then extended the lead to 11-4 with his 10th home run of the year.

In the ninth, Chattanooga shrunk the lead further with a bases-loaded walk drawn by Vellojin, making it 11-8. Shuckers’ reliever Zach Vennaro then entered with the bases loaded and one out. He induced a fielder’s choice that nabbed a runner at the plate and then struck out Hurtubise to end the game, earning his third save of the year.
