Rooker kicked off his stellar night by hitting a double in the first inning. He followed that up with a home run in the second and singles in the fourth and seventh to finish a triple shy of the cycle. He is the first player to rack up four hits in a game since Chris Paul did so on May 8th against Jackson, while his three runs were the most he scored in a single game this season. Meanwhile, Tanner English became the first Lookouts player to score four runs in a game this year. The outfielder is now hitting .310 since April 30th and has nine multi-hit games in that span.
Ryne Harper became the third reliever to have four saves in a game this season, pitching a pair of scoreless innings to close out the game despite coming in with the bases loaded in the 8th inning. That was thanks to a special defensive play, as Brian Navarreto, Chris Paul and Brent Rooker combined for the first Lookouts triple play since August 21st, 2015.
Chattanooga and Montgomery will meet one final time in the rubber game of the series tomorrow night, when RHP Cody Stashak (1-0, 2.60) makes his first start since July 25, 2017 opposite RHP Eduar Lopez (2-2, 5.11 ERA). Following the game, enjoy a special Memorial Day weekend fireworks show while kids will be able to run the bases!
