It took five scoreless extra frames Thursday night before the Chattanooga lookouts deemed themselves worthy of victory. Chattanooga ended a ten inning scoreless streak by plating three in the fifteenth in a 4-1 win over Huntsville.
Neither starting pitcher figured in the decision, despite solid outings. Aaron Miller allowed only one Stars run, a fourth inning Zelous Wheeler home run, on five hits. He struck out five Huntsville batters. Josh Butler put together his second straight strong outing, working six complete innings. Butler struck out three while the opposition did not draw a single walk. The only run allowed was unearned.
After four Huntsville pitchers, Nick Green entered his fourth inning in the fifteenth. Jessie Mier was the first to greet him with a double which was followed with a sac bunt. Mier scored on an errant pickoff attempt by Green and the floodgates were open. Eddie Perez and Corey Smith followed with hits and scored before the inning came to a close.
Green threw 59 pitches in his trip out of the pen.
With the series tied at two games apiece, Huntsville hosts game five Friday at 7:00 CDT. All Stars games are streamed live at www.huntsvillestars.com
