The Chattanooga Lookouts registered their seventh consecutive win Thursday night, downing Jacksonville 3-1 before an announced crowd of 4,236 at AT&T Field.
Chattanooga (9-5) scored all three of its runs in the first inning, when the Lookouts tallied four hits and the Jumbo Shrimp committed two of their four errors. The Lookouts opened the bottom of the first with infield hits by LaMonte Wade and Brent Rooker, and those two scored on a Zander Wiel single.
Randy LeBlanc worked six scoreless innings to pick up the pitching win for the Lookouts. LeBlanc improved to 2-1 with a 1.69 earned run average.
The Jumbo Shrimp got on the board in the eighth inning, when Isan Diaz doubled to right field and scored on an Austin Dean groundout. The two teams will collide tonight at 7:15 in the series finale.
