The Mobile BayBears dropped the series finale to the Chattanooga Lookouts in 9-4 defeat Tuesday night at Hank Aaron Stadium.

The Lookouts added a third run with a solo homer from Matt Wallach in the second inning. Lorin exited the game after five innings, allowing five runs on seven hits resulting in his third loss of the season.

In the bottom of the second inning Yazy Arbelo sent a home run over the center field wall for the second straight day putting Mobile with in one run of Chattanooga's 3-2 lead. In the top of the third the Lookouts extended their lead scoring two more runs in the top of the third inning but again the BayBears pulled with-in a one of Chattanooga in the bottom of the fifth inning when Matt Davidson and Marc Krauss delivered on back to back home runs.
