In what has become a spring tradition for thousands of baseball fans, the Chattanooga State Tigers will take on the Chattanooga Lookouts in an exhibition game Tuesday, April 5, a week before the defending Southern League champions begin their home season at AT&T Field.
“This year’s team has achieved a level of competitiveness that we haven’t had here in a while,” says Tigers coach Greg Dennis. “Our talent is good, and this very young team competes really well. We are hopeful that it will continue to translate in the games during the remainder of this spring and at the Lookouts exhibition game.”
2016 marks the 11th year for the matchup. Past games have brought in more than 2,000 people.
“It is always such a pleasure to get to spend a night at AT&T Field and bump heads with one of the most historic minor-league franchises in the Lookouts,” Dennis says. “Our guys consider it a real treat, and we as a program enjoy the visibility it gives us locally and nationally.”
The game starts at 6:15 p.m. at AT&T Field, 201 Power Alley.
