Lookouts Rally But Lose Thriller to Trash Pandas
Rocket City s Martinez Homers Three Times In 12-10 Win Friday, May 7, 2021 - by Joseph Dycus
Mike Trout may be the best player in baseball, but the Lookouts 2,550 fans probably left AT&T field believing the best player of his generation might soon have competition in centerfield. The Trash Panda’s Orlando Martinez looked like 2001 Barry Bonds reincarnated against Chattanooga and sent three towering shots over the rightfield wall in a game that also featured a late-game rally from down five, terrible baserunning, high-pressure pitching, 31 combined hits, and more. The Trash Pandas eventually won the game 12-10 in 10 innings, and the journey from blowout to extra-inning thriller was a fantastic one.
