The Chattanooga Lookouts used two solo home runs to win a close one over the Knoxville Smokies on a School Day Matinee at AT&T Field.
After two scoreless innings, Hector Rodriguez broke the tie with a solo home run, his fourth of the year. An inning later Austin Hendrick belted a solo shot of his own to put the Lookouts up 2-0.
