The Birmingham Barons used timely hitting and solid pitching to get the 4-1 win before 2,991 at Regions Field on Tuesday night. Starting pitcher Noah Schult (2-1, 3.58) gets the win, going 5.0 innings, giving up five hits, one earned run, one walk, and seven strikeouts.
The Barons' bullpen gave up no earned runs after taking over for Schultz in the sixth. Dalton Roach, Eric Adler, and Garrett Schoenle held the lead before turning it over to closer Peyton Pallete. Pallette earned his fifth save of the season.
Chattanooga scored first on an Ethan O'Donnell sacrifice fly, and the Lookouts took the 1-0 lead. The Barons tied the game when Ryan Galanie tripled off the wall in right field and scored on a DJ Gladney RBI single to right field.
Jacob Gonzalez doubled off the wall in right field in the bottom of the fifth inning. Caden Connor sacrificed a bunt, moving Gonzalez to third base. Adam Hackenberg hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Gonzalez from third base, and the Barons took the 2-1 lead.
The Lookouts gave up two more runs in the sixth and seventh innings and couldn't muster any offense to fight back. The two teams will be back in action Wednesday night at Birmingham.
