Minor League Roundup
Double-A Chattanooga
Despite compiling just three hits in the game, Chattanooga escaped with a 2-1 victory at Pensacola on Thursday.
Trailing 1-0 after the second inning, a Carlos Jorge groundout plated the tying run in the sixth. Then in the top of the ninth, Jay Allen II hit a sharp liner to center field that fell for a base hit and scored Jorge from second.
The Lookouts' pitching did their part with Ty Floyd and Brody Jessee combining for 4 2/3 scoreless innings in relief. Jessee walked the tightrope in the ninth, giving up a pair of hits and loading the bases with one out. Facing Connor Caskenette, one of the Blue Wahoos' best hitters, the 25-year-old induced a double play to end the game.
Nestor Lorant had a terrific start as well, surrendering just one earned run in 4 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts.
Chattanooga heads into the weekend having taken two of the first three in the series.
High-A Dayton
Home runs from Alfredo Alcantara, Alfredo Duno and Kien Vu accounted for all four of Dayton's runs in a tight 4-3 win at West Michigan.
Dayton has also won two of their first three of the series and sits just one game behind first-place Great Lakes in the Midwest League East Division.
