HOOTS WALK TO WIN WITH FOUR-RUN SEVENTH

COLUMBUS, GA - The Columbus Chatt-a-Hoots walked six times and scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 win over the Atlanta Crackers on Friday night.

All ten men in the Hoots batting order came to the plate, with four runs scoring on six walks, a wild pitch and a single in the inning. 

Ashton Shakelford then came in to nail down his third save of the season with two innings of scoreless ball, striking out four and walking one.
