The Chattanooga Lookouts put together a five-game winning streak in the opening week of the 2015 season, which ended with a Southern League championship.
That kind of consistency has eluded them so far this year.
Back-to-back wins against Jackson were followed Friday by a 6-3 loss to the Generals at AT&T Field, the Lookouts’ sixth defeat in nine games to start the season.
D.J. Hicks homered in the sixth inning for Chattanooga, which showed signs of a rally in the ninth but came away with just one run – on T.J. White’s double that scored Travis Harrison, who had a leadoff single. Jackson reliever Matt Anderson produced three consecutive groundouts to end the game.
The Lookouts’ other run came in the fifth, when they scored just once despite loading the bases with no outs. White and Levi Michael sandwiched singles around Joe Maloney reaching on an infield error, and White scored on an infield groundout, but that was followed by a strikeout and another groundout.
