Lookouts Beat Smokies on Walk Off Winner From Zack Granite

(lookouts.com) With the score tied at three with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, Lookouts outfielder Zack Granite singled home Edgar Corcino to give the team a 4-3 walk-off win over the Smokies.

Long before the dramatic finish in the ninth inning, the Lookouts jumped out to an early lead in the first on a Mitch Garver single. The RBI gave Garver his 62nd of the year which brings him within three of tying Daniel Palka for the team lead. In the second the lead increased on a Corcino single and a sacrifice fly by Levi Michael.

The three runs were enough cushion for starting pitcher David Hurlbut who turned in another solid performance. The southpaw allowed two runs in the fourth, but put up zeros in the fifth, sixth and seventh. Hurlbut’s ERA is now 3.50 on the year.

Up 3-2, the Lookouts hit a bump in the eighth inning as David Freitas doubled home Victor Caratini to tie the game up. The game seemed destined for extra-innings, but Edgar Corcino had other ideas as he singled to start off the inning. After a sacrifice bunt and a Levi Michael single, Corcino scored from third on Granite’s timely hit.
