Bears Lose to Nickajacks in Walk-Off
The Chattanooga Nickajacks defeated the Memphis Bears, 3-2, in Great Southern action at Nickajacks Ballpark. Chattanooga pitcher Charles Logan had a standout performance. Logan got the win, improving to 8-10. He gave up 7 hits and walked 3 over 9 innings. He allowed 2 runs. The Nickajacks, at 36-38, have now won 6 straight.

The decisive blow was delivered by Wesley Wilson in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Upton Grant to win the game for Chattanooga. The home crowd went nuts.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Memphis manager Garvin Mays. "But we decided not to take it."
