New Chattanooga Lookouts infielder Ryan Walker didn’t take long to win over the clubhouse.
Hitting close to .400 and scoring clutch runs have a way of doing that.
“He’s a good guy, and I love playing with him,” Lookouts first baseman Dalton Hicks said. “He doesn’t try and do too much, and in the long run, that helps a lot.”
Walker tripled into the right-field corner in the seventh inning and scored on Joe Maloney’s single to right to propel Chattanooga to a 2-1 triumph over Biloxi before a crowd of 2,952 on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon at AT&T Field. The Lookouts improved to 17-20 and have a three-game winning streak for the first time this season.
Nick Greenwood picked up his first victory for Chattanooga, allowing six hits and a run in eight innings.
