Rats Stymie Cienfuegos, Take 7-1 Win
Starting pitcher Bob Chipman took care of business, helping the Chattanooga Rats stifle the Cienfuegos Elefantes, 7-1. The winning pitcher was Chipman, now 5-7. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 6. The Rats go to 38-58 with the win.

Sam Mertes had an important at-bat with one out in the bottom of the fifth, when he hit a 2-run double. His 20th double of the season put Chattanooga on top, 4-0.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Chipman said. "That's why you play the game."
