I love rookie ball. I honestly do. AZL Reds score 4 times on only 2 hits.

Debby Santana started things off with a one-out double. Jose Tello walked. Caleb Van Blake reached on an error as the first run scored. Fidel Castro walked and a second run came home in the process on a wild pitch. An infield hit to short off the bat of Elvis Gomez plated a third run. Ashton Creal walked to reload the bases. And then another free pass was issued to Chadwick Tromp to force in a 4th run.

The game is now 4-1, as Maiker Manuel is trying his best to give those runs right back.

Chattanooga led 4-0 through 6, and then the bullpen went on a work slowdown. They now trail 6-4 in the 8th.

Cory Thompson gave up 2 runs. Jesse Stallings went one better, giving up 3 runs. Ty Boyles coughed up a home run to the first batter he faced. Stone Garrett was hovering around the Mendoza Line, and Ty thought the best strategy was to send every pitch down Broadway. Center cut after center cut until Garrett finally ran into one. SMH.

The contest is heading into the 9th, where the Lookouts will have one more go at it.

Good to see Santana hit.
