Suns blowout Lookouts 14-1

The biggest blowout in the minors Saturday belongs to the Jacksonville Suns (Dodgers). In the second game of a double-header in Chattanooga, the Suns beat the Lookouts (Reds) 14-1 in a Southern League contest.

After dropping game one, the Suns jumped out to an early lead in game two:

Jacksonville picked up the offensive assault in the third inning as Craig Brazell belted a tape measure homerun out of the stadium over the right field picnic pavilion, a two-run homerun that opened a 4-0 Suns lead. Later in the inning Jimmy Rohan drove home a run with a double to open the lead to 5-0.
After Chattanooga scored it's lone run in the third, then the Suns offense poured it on:
The Suns then blasted away again in the fourth inning by scoring six runs on five hits and a Chattanooga error. Craig Brazell, Jimmy Rohan and Spike Lundberg all recorded RBI singles in the inning with Adam Greenberg scoring on a Chattanooga error and Wilkin Ruan scoring on a passed ball. The six-run frame opened the Suns lead to 11-1.

Jacksonville came back around for more in the fifth inning when Craig Brazell drove home his fifth run of the game with a double to make it 12-1. Tony Abreu had a groundout RBI while Jimmy Rohan recorded his fourth hit of the game with another RBI to finish the scoring at 14-1.
The games went 7 innings by rule.
