CHATTANOOGA, TN - Jalen Miller homered and brought in two runs, but the Mississippi Braves dropped the series finale 7-2 to the Chattanooga Lookouts on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Field.

Miller continued a great series with a solo home run to left field on his first at-bat of the game. As designated hitter, Miller brought in another run with a walk in the second.
