(lookouts.com) Chattanooga Lookouts left-hander Nick Lodolo continued his hot start to the 2021 season tonight. Lodolo struck out eight batters across seven shutout innings and now has an ERA of 0.40 on the year, the lowest mark in the minors among pitchers to throw at least 17 innings. He is scheduled to start the series finale on Sunday as he looks to continue his hot stretch.

It didn’t take long for the Lookouts hitters to provide some run support, as outfielder TJ Hopkins hit his third triple of the season in the third inning. That was immediately followed by an RBI groundout from Yoel Yanqui as the home side took a 1-0 lead. That would soon become a 4-0 lead as a run-scoring triple from Leonardo Rivas capped a three-run fifth inning. Alejo Lopez opened that frame with a base hit to take his batting average up to a league high .380.

Relivers Michael Byrne and Nick Howard each struck out a pair in their one inning of relief as the Lookouts picked up their first shutout victory of the season with a 4-0 victory.

Chattanooga will look to continue their winning ways when they send righty Matt Pidich to the mound tomorrow night opposite Smokies starter Javier Assad.

Rick Nyman grew up in Anniston, Alabama and attended the University of Alabama. His television career started at WJSU-TV in Anniston where he had the opportunity to cover SEC football with Alabama and Auburn. Anniston is just 20 minutes from the Talladega Speedway, so NASCAR was a big part of his sports coverage. Due to this he was able to interview Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and several other top-name NASCAR drivers. Rick's next television job was in Savannah, Georgia, where he covered basketball player Kwame Brown (now with the Washington Wizards), who later became the first ever high school player selected as the top pick in the NBA draft. He covered the PGA Tour's annual swing thru Hilton Head and also had the opportunity of covering the Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl appearance in 1999 in Miami. Rick especially enjoys all the atmosphere, tradition and drama of college football. He also likes profiling sports personalities and learning what drives them both on and off the field. If he's not covering sports, he's either watching Seinfield or David Letterman, playing golf, reading, or working out. What he enjoys about Chattanooga is the passion people have for sports. The mountainous region of Chattanooga reminds him of his hometown of Anniston, which also has big, beautiful trees and plenty of hills. You can contact Rick at rnyman@wdef.com.
