Roa (W, 3-5) continued his scoreless work for five clean innings, allowing one hit while walking five and striking out eight to earn the win.

Roa was able to navigate through the jam when Whitefield was caught stealing second, Ryan Aguilar struck out, and Bryce Teodosio flew out to right to end the inning. A walk to Tucker Flint and a single by Aaron Whitefield put runners on the corners with nobody out. With one out and a runner on first, Rece Hinds hit a two-run homer to right-center, his sixth home run in his last five games to extend his home run streak to five games.ĭown 2-0, the Trash Pandas nearly came right back in the second. In the bottom of the inning, the Lookouts’ top slugger got them on the board off Rocket City starter Landon Marceaux. Kevin Maitan couldn’t cash in, flying out to center as the Trash Pandas came up empty. Rocket City looked to get the scoring started in the top of the first against Chattanooga starter Christian Roa, putting runners on first and second two outs. However, the visitors were unable to connect when they needed it most, suffering a 3-1 loss at AT&T Field in the fourth game of a six-game series. The Rocket City Trash Pandas put runners on base often throughout Friday’s contest with the Chattanooga Lookouts.
