The Chattanooga Lookouts advanced to the Southern League championship series with a 4-1 win at Montgomery on Monday evening.
Chattanooga won the North Division best-of-five series 3-1 and will face the Biloxi Shuckers for the league trophy beginning Wednesday night in the Mississippi city. The Shuckers closed out Pensacola in three games in the South Division playoffs.
Montgomery scored first Monday in the second inning on a home run by Jake Bauers, who blasted his shot over the right-field fence.
Chattanooga responded in the top of the third with two runs. Stephen Wickens scored on a missed pickoff attempt by the Biscuits, and Travis Harrison drove in league MVP Max Kepler with a single to right field.
The Lookouts increased the lead to 3-1 against Montgomery starting pitcher Taylor Guerrieri with a sacrifice fly off the bat of D.J. Hicks that scored Kepler in the top of the fifth, and league home run king Adam Brett Walker II made it 4-1 with a long shot to left field in the eighth. It was his second homer of the series.
