Bo Takahashi started for Louisville on Thursday and allowed 3 runs on 1 hit with 3 walks and a strikeout over 6 innings of work. Dwight Smith Jr. went 2 for 3 with a walk and 2 RBI while TJ “Land of the” Friedl went 1 for 3 with a solo dinger. The Bats also had a couple of guys on rehab assignment. Joey “Tokki 2” Votto went 1 for 4 and Aristides “Heiress Titties” Aquino went 1 for 2 with 2 walks and a double.

Game 2 of Louisville’s double header, which was supposed to be a makeup of Tuesday’s game, got rained out and will be made up this weekend.

Chattanooga Lookouts 2, Rocket City Trash Pandas 4

Connor Curlis got the start in game 1 of Thursday’s double header and was pretty ineffective. He allowed all 4 runs on 6 hits with 2 walks and no strikeouts over 4.1 innings. Miguel Figueroa struck out all 3 batters he faced in relief. Robbie “Soprano, Alto, Bass” Tenerowicz went 2 for 3 on the night.

Chattanooga Lookouts 5, Rocket City Trash Pandas 1

Things went much better for the Lookouts in game 2. Ricky “And Morty” Salinas pitched well in his start, going 5 innings and allowing only 1 run on 4 hits with a walk and 6 strikeouts. Nick Howard struck out 2 in another scoreless inning. Good for him, man. Yoel Yanqui “Doodle” went 1 for 3 with a 2-run homer and TJ Hopkins went 2 for 2 with a triple and 2 RBI.

Dayton Dragons 3, Lake County Captains 6

A bullpen implosion doomed Dayton in game 1 of the double header. Lyon “Lannister” Richardson started and pitched well, allowing a run on 2 hits with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts in 4 innings of work. Francisco Urbaez went 1 for 2 with a 2-run dong and Quincy “Anti-Virus” McAfee went 2 for 3.

Daytona Tortugas 7, Clearwater Threshers 5

James “Exam” Proctor got the start for Daytona and went 3 innings, allowing a run on 3 hits with 4 walks and 4 strikeouts.
