Chattanooga Lookouts logoThe Chattanooga Lookouts were victorious at AT&T Field on Thursday night, defeating Birmingham 5-4 after playing six games in five days.
Sort of.
Chattanooga officially took three of five games in Jackson this week, but Monday night’s 7-4 triumph over the Generals lasted 18 innings and took five hours and 17 minutes to complete. The Southern League record for innings played is 23, which has occurred on two occasions.
“After the 10th inning, it kind of became fun,” Lookouts catcher J.C. Boscan said. “I wanted to win, but at the same time it was fun to be playing 11, 12, 13 and all the way through 18. It was kind of crazy, and I think it was a good experience. I’m definitely glad we won.”
The Lookouts lost to the Generals on Tuesday and Wednesday but rallied past Birmingham before a crowd of 5,575. Chattanooga trailed the Barons 4-3 entering the bottom of the ninth but got a leadoff double to center field by Chris O’Brien, an RBI single to center by Darnell Sweeney and an RBI single to center by Daniel Mayora.
