They added one more run later in the frame to make it 5-2.
In the top of the seventh, Tennessee's first two batters got on base. A double and a two-run single by Scott McKeon tied the game up at five. The game remained tied until extra innings when they scored the go-ahead run on a bases-loaded walk.
Tomorrow, Chattanooga heads down to Pensacola for a two-week road trip. They begin their last regular season series on September 12.
