Zander Wiel continued his stellar April on Saturday night, doubling to center field in the seventh inning to score Tanner English and Nick Gordon and propel the Chattanooga Lookouts to a 6-4 win over the Tennessee Smokies at AT&T Field.
The Lookouts opened the seventh with an Edgar Corcino double to right and a Sean Miller single to right, and both scored to tie the game. Wiel’s double raised his season average to .358, with Gordon right behind at .354.
An announced crowd of 4,748 attended Saturday’s comeback triumph.
Chattanooga improved to 12-10 entering this afternoon’s scheduled doubleheader of seven-inning games. The first of those contests is scheduled for 2:15.
The Lookouts took a 2-1 lead in the second inning, when Chris Paul was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a fielding error, went to third on a passed ball and scored on a Corcino sacrifice fly to right. Tennessee (10-11) forged ahead with a three-run sixth inning that was highlighted by Erick Costillo’s two-run single to center.
