On a busy day of off-the-field moves for the Chattanooga Lookouts, Tim Sexton pitched a gem Monday night at AT&T Field and the club earned its third straight win.
Two fourth-inning defensive gifts from the Carolina Mudcats gave the Lookouts the lead, and Sexton did the rest in a 3-0 victory that moved the Lookouts out of last place in the Southern League North Division.
The Lookouts (25-32) moved into fourth in the North, while the Mudcats (25-33) dropped to fifth.
Sexton (3-5) struck out 10 in six innings, allowing four hits and no walks.
“Being able to get ahead was getting me the strikeouts,” said Sexton, who turns 23 Thursday. “I was able to keep the ball down and get that first strike in there.”
