CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Byrd Tenerowicz walked it off and the Chattanooga Lookouts took game two of the series, 5-4, in extras on Wednesday night over the Mississippi Braves from AT&T Field.

In the bottom half of the inning, McLain drew a one-out walk to put two runners on. Quin Cotton then drove in Leonardo Rivas to cut the Braves' lead to one. TJ Hopkins then drew the walk to load the bases and Byrd Tenerowicz hit the game-winning single to score a pair and give the Lookouts the, 5-4, win.

Tenerowicz finished the game 1-for-5 with a pair of RBIs. Chuckie Robinson paced the Lookout offense with a 3-for-3 day and Quincy McAfee rounded it out going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

Connor Curlis got the start, scattering two hits over five innings, while walking two and striking out five, in five innings pitched.

Ricky Karcher (2-1) got the win pitching the final two innings allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit, two walks, and three strikeouts.
