Shannon Wilkerson went 4-for-6 and helped the Chattanooga Lookouts rally for an 11-10 victory in 10 innings Sunday night over Jackson before an AT&T Field crowd of 3,790.

The Lookouts trailed 7-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning and were down 10-6 in the bottom of the eighth, when Stephen Wickens, Jorge Polanco and Southern League MVP Max Kepler drove in runs to help Chattanooga pull even. After a scoreless ninth, the Lookouts won it in the 10th when Wickens was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on a Wilkerson double to left field and scored on a Generals throwing error.

Chattanooga improved to 76-60 overall and 33-35 in the second half entering today's Southern League regular-season finale. First pitch is scheduled for 2:15 p.m.

The Lookouts will have Tuesday and Wednesday off before starting the North Division playoff series Thursday night at AT&T Field. Chattanooga will host games Thursday and Friday before heading to second-half champion Montgomery for the remainder of the best-of-five series.
