LaMonte Wade conquered a second conference as a college baseball player.

The Chattanooga Lookouts left fielder has been conquering the levels of the professional ladder ever since.

Wade is in his first season with the Class AA Lookouts and is in just his second full pro season since his three-year stint at the University of Maryland that began in the Atlantic Coast Conference and ended in the Big Ten. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder entered Thursday night’s series opener at Biloxi hitting .316 with four home runs and 16 RBIs.

“It’s been exciting,” Wade said earlier this week. “I’ve made a couple of adjustments and am seeing some of the results. We’ve been playing really well together as a team. We’re getting some solid pitching performances and are putting together some solid at-bats and runs up for the guys.”

Wade factored prominently into Chattanooga’s surge this month as the Lookouts went from fourth in the Southern League’s North Division to a tie for first entering Thursday night.
