00:00Coming up to the dish for Chattanooga, Guy Townsend.

00:12Hard hit left side.

00:15That's out number two.

00:24One away tie game and the go-ahead run at first.

00:30This one's hammered to left center, well struck.

00:37That's pretty deep.

00:40Gone.

00:41Big dog's got to eat.

00:44That should fire up the dugout.

00:46And that's how they take the lead.

00:49It's two-nothing.

00:53A pivotal moment in this game.

00:55That homer might be the most important swing in this one.

00:59A moment to treasure his first homer at the double-A level.

01:03That's got to feel great, and I'm sure the organization is hoping to see him belt many more round-trippers.

01:10Low fastballs are a risky option for pitchers nowadays, and you just saw why that is.

01:15He did really well to not jump ahead of the pitch.

01:17Just drop the bat head and golf the...

01:20Guy Townsend will hit next.

01:22A little surprising they don't go for a pitch hitter here with the lefty-lefty matchup.

01:34That one is absolutely pummeled.

01:37Pretty deep.

01:39Gone.

01:40Big dog's got to eat.

01:43Made them pay for that one.

01:45A two-run blast.

01:47And they take the lead.

01:49It's now two-to-one.

01:53I'm deleting pretty much my entire recap right now.

01:57This game just got turned on its head.

02:00It'll be fun to see how this one ends.

02:01That's a good job to be aggressive in the box after watching him closely on the mound.

02:15Once you've got his timing down, it's a lot easier to give a strong, confident swing.

02:25And could be one of the biggest ones of the game as they jump ahead by one.

02:30Couldn't lift that one, but he really ripped it back through the middle.

02:34Great timing, loud contact, and not much of a chance for the fielders to make a play on it.

02:39Townsend, the leadoff batter, looks at ball one.

02:47Swung on, belted.

02:48Deep.

02:49That one way back there.

02:50And that one's going to land not so much here, but here.

02:54Made them pay for that one, and we have a tie ball game.

03:02The best players don't let moments like that get too big for them.

03:06He did a great job to stay within himself and change the direction of this ball game.

03:10I'm sure off the bat, the pitcher thought the swing was too early, and that one was going

03:22to bend foul.

03:23But with it being just barely fair, two away and a runner at first, digging in for the

03:30lookouts, Guy Townsend.

03:41Swung on, belted.

03:42Deep.

03:43That one way back there, and that one's going to land not so much here, but here.

03:50Sends one out the opposite way.

03:52A two-run shot, and they add to their lead.

03:55It's nine to one.

04:00Great job of hitting it where it's pitched.

04:09On a fastball on the outer half like that one, you need to keep the weight back and focus

04:14on good contact.

04:16That time, it paid off with a...

04:18Two outs and a runner at first.

04:20And now at the plate, Guy Townsend.

04:23One for three.

04:30And that one hammered.

04:33Come on, ball.

04:34Way deep.

04:34We're out of here.

04:35Gone.

04:36Big dog's got to eat.

04:39Rockets one to right.

04:41A two-run shot, and they slice into that lead.

04:45It's 8-3.

04:47He's gone deep in back-to-back games, and his timing looks pretty good at the plate right

04:52now.

04:52Clearly seeing the ball well.

04:57When the pitcher throws a breaking ball over the inside half of the plate, it's all too

05:02easy.

05:03So up next, Guy Townsend.

05:060 for 1 hit into a fielder's choice the first time.

05:15This one is labeled.

05:18That's back there.

05:21Gone.

05:21And big dog's got to eat.

05:25A solo blast.

05:27And they lead it.

05:29It's now 2-1.

05:45Left a low 90s fastball in a hittable location.

05:49Full marks to the hitter.

05:50He recognized the pitch early and belted it out.

06:00One out and the bases are empty.

06:02Stepping to the plate for Chattanooga, Guy Townsend.

06:05This one is labeled.

06:17That one's deep.

06:19Gone.

06:20Big dog's got to eat.

06:23Made the hurdler pay for that one.

06:25A solo shot.

06:27And they add to the lead.

06:29It's 9-2.

06:30Seemed like he might not have hit it hard enough to leave the yard, but it had just enough carry

06:45to get over his glove and out of here for a dinger.

06:48Great effort in the outfield, all the same.

06:55We're in the bottom of the sixth.

06:57And now the first baseman, Guy Townsend.

06:59Started to swing, but held up.

07:21That one is absolutely pummeled.

07:35Pretty deep.

07:37Gone.

07:38Big dog's got to eat.

07:42Crushes that one to center field.

07:44A solo shot.

07:45And they're on the board.

07:47It's a 2-1 game.

08:02Seemed like he might not have hit it hard enough to leave the yard, but it had just enough carry

08:07to get over his glove and out of here for a dinger.

08:12Nobody on and two outs.

08:13And here's the first baseman, Guy Townsend.

08:160 for 1.

08:25That misses the zone.

08:27And that's ball one.

08:27One ball.

08:28No strike.

08:35Hard contact.

08:36This one driven deep to right.

08:38That one's got some carry.

08:40Gone.

08:41Big dog's got to eat.

08:43Rockets won to right.

08:46A solo shot.

08:47And they cut into the deficit.

08:49It's 5-1.

08:50That one was almost robbed out there in right field.

09:08The batter can feel good about the round tripper, but looking at the right fielder, he's replaying

09:13that one mentally, wondering if he could have brought it back.

09:19All set to start the ninth inning in this one.

09:21And now the first baseman, Guy Townsend.

09:24Try to get him chasing on the changeup.

09:42Zephyr John goes 6'5".

09:44He works with a four-seam fastball, a slider, a changeup.

09:49Swung on, belted.

09:50Deep.

09:51That one way back there.

09:52And that one's going to land not so much here, but here.

09:57That's got to feel good.

10:00A solo blast.

10:02And they add on.

10:03It's 8-5.

10:08It's never a bad thing adding some insurance runs, and that home run helped them do just

10:13that.

10:13What a swing he put on that one, sending it over the wall in the opposite field gap.

10:21It takes a lot of power to hit it out in that territory.

10:24If he can repeat that swing, look out.
