First, the Chattanooga Lookouts put away their umbrellas. Then they forced the Mississippi Braves to put away their brooms.

After heavy rain overnight Thursday and an intermittent drizzle Friday, the finale of the five-game series at AT&T Field went on as planned, with the Lookouts winning 8-4 to end a five-game losing streak and avoid being swept by the Braves.

Attendance was 2,784 for a contest that started under overcast skies with the temperature 54 degrees.

The Lookouts (5-8) went ahead for good during their three-run sixth inning, with TJ Friedl reaching on a fielder’s choice to score Cassidy Brown and make it 4-3. Jose Siri added an RBI single and Friedl completed the inning’s scoring by going home when Taylor Trammell grounded out.

Connor Lien homered twice to drive in all of the runs for the Braves (7-6), giving them the game’s first lead with his three-run shot in the second and cutting Chattanooga’s lead to four runs with one out in the ninth.
