The Mississippi Braves scored scattered runs and waves of runs.

They scored a few runs in the game’s beginning and a lot more near its end, with plenty of others to fill out the middle of their 12-1 win Friday night against the Chattanoooga Lookouts at AT&T Field.

The Braves singled, doubled, tripled and homered their way onto the scoreboard, with errors and wild pitches helping out along the way.

Plainly speaking, the Braves — who had been struggling — scored a lot. And the Lookouts barely scored at all.

Mississippi claimed a three-run first-inning lead and just kept adding to it. The Braves’ bats were aided by Chattanooga’s lethargic offense and sloppy fielding, as the Lookouts never threatened to contend for the win.

“We disgraced the game of baseball tonight, if we’re being completely honest,” Lookouts manager Mike Goff said. “We just embarrassed ourselves, and that’s the first time this year I’ve seen this team do that.”

Braves center fielder Reid Gorecki finished the night 4-for-5 with five RBIs, and he started it by scoring one of his three runs on a Kala Ka’aihue double in the top of the first inning. Ka’aihue then scored on a Greg Creek double, and Creek came home when Javier Guzman reached base on an Eric Eymann throwing error.

Jerry Gil doubled home Shaun Cumberland in the second inning for the Lookouts’ only run. Poor decision-making and wild swings ruined later comeback attempts.

“We just didn’t swing the bat well,” Cumberland said. “We got down in the count and chased a lot of bad pitches. That’s the last thing you want to do.”

Mississippi (15-27) had no problem picking up Chattanooga’s slack.

Gorecki homered on the first pitch of the third inning and drove in two runs in the fourth. He doubled home a couple more in the Braves’ six-run eighth, which included an RBI double by Greg Creek and was punctuated by Ka’aihue trotting home on a wild pitch for Mississippi’s final run.

James Parr gave up six hits and the Lookouts’ lone run, striking out nine to earn the win, while Lookouts starter Ramon Ramirez suffered the loss. Chattanooga left fielder Cody Strait credited Parr’s success largely to his own team’s ineptitude.

“His stuff was OK, but it was nothing spectacular,” said Strait, who was 0-for-4. “We even got plenty of hits. We just didn’t take advantage of scoring opportunities, and we could never put a big inning together.”

Friday marked the fifth consecutive time that the score has been 6-1 at some point during a Lookouts game. In the previous four, it had been Chattanooga that held that advantage.

“There’s nothing we can do about it now,” Strait said of the loss. “We just have to wait and then come back tomorrow and try it again.”
