The Chattanooga Lookouts swept a doubleheader Sunday in Birmingham, Ala., winning the first game behind prolific hitting and the nightcap with excellence on the mound.
Adam Walker doubled and Stephen Wickens, Heiker Meneses, Shannon Wilkerson and Max Kepler each singled in the top of the seventh inning as Chattanooga turned a 5-4 lead into a 10-4 victory in the first seven-inning game.
Lookouts starting pitcher Brett Lee dominated the second game, a 3-0 victory, allowing just two hits while striking out eight in seven scoreless innings. He got the run support he needed in the sixth, with the Lookouts breaking a scoreless tie with Niko Goodrum's RBI single to center field and Dalton Hicks' two-run home run to right.
The Lookouts are 73-57 overall and 30-32 in the Southern League's second half, and they have all but ended the playoff hopes of the Barons.
Game five of the six-game series in Birmingham is tonight at 8:05 EDT. Aaron Slegers (1-3, 5.32) is scheduled to start for the Lookouts, with Frankie Montas 5-5, 2.97) scheduled for the Barons.
