The Montgomery Biscuits jumped out to an early 4-0 lead over the Chattanooga Lookouts, but were unable to hold on, falling 6-4 on Saturday night. Jadher Areinamo hit a solo home run to start the scoring, but the Lookouts chipped away and took the lead for good with two runs in the 8th inning.

Why it matters

The loss drops the Biscuits to 5-8 on the season, while the Lookouts improve to 11-3 and continue their strong start. Montgomery's inability to hold a multi-run lead raises concerns about their bullpen and ability to close out games.

The details

The Biscuits scored 4 runs in the 1st inning, with Areinamo's homer followed by RBI hits from Brayden Taylor, Gregory Barrios, and Mac Horvath. But Chattanooga slowly chipped away, getting an RBI sac fly in the 2nd, an RBI single in the 3rd, and a 2-run homer from Ruben Ibarra in the 4th to tie it 4-4. The Lookouts then took the lead for good with RBI singles from Zavier Warren and Cam Collier in the 8th inning.
