SMOKIES 4, LOOKOUTS 1
Tuesday’s recap: Chesny Young had three hits and drove in two runs as Tennessee won the series finale and handed touted Chattanooga starting pitcher Kohl Stewart his first loss. Zack Granite opened the game with a triple to right field and scored on an Engelb Vielma sacrifice to center to give the Lookouts a 1-0 lead, which they maintained until a Young single to left in the fifth scored Carlos Penalver and Daniel Lockhart to put the Smokies ahead to stay. Chattanooga dropped to 33-32 entering its final five-game series of the first half.
