CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The Chattanooga Lookouts claimed the series finale, 10-6, over the Birmingham Barons on Sunday night from AT&T Field.

The Lookouts answered, putting up five runs in the bottom of the first including a bases-clearing double from Michael De Leon to score three runs to cap off the inning.
The Barons regained the lead in the fourth putting up five runs of their own thanks to the help of two errors by the hosts.
Chattanooga (36-39) quickly responded knotting things at six with a De Leon single to score Ivan Johnson.
Allan Cerda then hammered one over the left-field wall, scoring two, to give the Lookouts the lead that they never relinquished.
