The Chattanooga Lookouts (69-60) dropped the final game of the series to the Tennessee Smokies (69-57) by a score of 7-1.
Tennessee got on the board early when Jacob Hannemann doubled home Ryan Dent in the third. The team added one more in the fourth, two in the fifth and two more in the sixth. They scored their final run of the day in the ninth.
Smokies' catcher Wilson Contreras continued his hot steak, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a double. The catcher is now batting .329 on the season which is only two points behind Max Kepler for the league lead.
Kepler and the Lookouts' offense walked seven times, but only got one runner home. Their lone run scored in the seventh when Jairo Rodriguez plated Travis Harrison.
