It’s not how the Chattanooga Lookouts drew it up, but their 7-5 win over the Rocket City Trash Pandas in Game 1 of their doubleheader Saturday was one of the strangest wins in minor league baseball history.
The Lookouts, the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, scored all seven runs and won without a hit. All seven runs scored in the top of the seventh inning through five walks, four hit batsmen, one fielding error and one wild pitch.

“We don’t need (a) hit to win,” Chattanooga outfielder Allan Cerda tweeted afterward.
