The Chattanooga Lookouts made a big comeback Saturday night for their fifth consecutive Southern League win, 12-10 in 11 innings at Mobile.
With Ryan Walker starting the 11th on second base, per league tiebreaker rules, Chattanooga erupted with singles by Brian Olson, Luis Arraez and Zander Wiel - with a sacrifice fly by Jordan Gore for the go-ahead run after Olson's hit - and a two-run double by Brent Rooker.
The BayBears got two runs in the bottom of the 11th but ended the game with an out at home plate.
Wiel opened the eighth inning with a double to left field and scored on a Mitchell Kranson single to left as the Lookouts tied the game at 7. Wiel scored a go-ahead run in the 10th on a Kranson double, but the BayBears scored on a double play to make it 8-8.
Jose Rojas hit a two-run home run to right-center in the first inning and hit a two-run double to left in the third to help Mobile build a 6-1 led. It was still 6-1 entering the sixth, but the Lookouts pulled within 7-6 thanks to Gore's two-run triple to right in the sixth and a Jaylin Davis RBI triple to center in the seventh.
Chattanooga (47-51 for the season) outhit Mobile (48-48) 17-10. Wiel and Rooker each was 3-for-6 with two doubles, Wiel scoring four times and Rookker batting in three runs. Gore also had three RBIs.
