Shuckers Pitching is Lookouts Kryptonite in 5-2 Loss

The Chattanooga Lookouts only mustered five hits on two runs in the team's 5-2 loss against the Biloxi Shuckers in front a crowd of 5,723 fans on Super Hero Night at AT&T Field.  
The home team jumped out to a one run lead in the second inning. Andy Wilkins began the inning with a double and scroed on a sacrfice fly by Mitchell Kranson. Staked to a one run lead, starting pitcher Sean Poppen shut down the Shuckers for six innings before allowing three unearned runs in the seventh. Poppen finished his start, allowing no earned runs in 6.2 innings while striking out five batters.  
Biloxi's three runs in the seventh would be the only runs they would need. They tacked on two more in the eighth to increase their lead to four. Brent Rooker unloaded a homer in the bottom of the ninth, but the offense did not plate any more runs.  
Tomorrow, the Lookouts and the Shuckers return at 2:15 p.m. for game four of the series. Gates for Autograph Sunday open at 1:00 p.m.
