MOBILE, Ala.  -- Sherman Johnson hit a two-run double in the second inning, and Alberto Triunfel singled three times as the Mobile BayBears topped the Chattanooga Lookouts 6-4 on Sunday. 

Trailing 6-1, the Lookouts rallied for three runs in the eighth inning but that would be all for the night.

Lookouts starting pitcher Felix Jorge (8-2) was shelled for the second straight game.

He took the loss after giving up six runs and 10 hits over 2 2/3 innings.

Mobile right-hander Alex Klonowski (5-5) picked up the win after allowing one run on four hits over 5 2/3 innings.

The double by Johnson scored Triunfel and Matt Thaiss gave the BayBears a 4-0 lead.

The Lookouts cut into the deficit in the eighth inning when Murphy hit an RBI double and then scored on a two-run single by Alex Perez.

Michael Dimock got Max Murphy to hit into a force out with runners on first and second to end the game for his fourth save of the season.

Despite the loss, Chattanooga is 7-3 against Mobile this season.
