- Wednesday's recap: It might be easier to list Chattanooga's players who did not hit a home run during the series opener in Mobile. Nick Gordon got the onslaught started with a two-run homer to left-center in the second inning, and Jonathan Rodriguez's two-run homer to left-center in the fourth made it 4-0. Rodriguez went deep again in the seventh, and the eighth featured homers by T.J. White, LaMonte Wade and Andy Wilkins. Wade's blast to right-center was a grand slam. The Lookouts improved to 20-6 in the Southern League's second half and to 62-34 overall.
- Next up: Game two of a five-game series in Mobile is tonight at 7:35 EDT.
- Pitchers: Kohl Stewart (3-4, 3.83) is scheduled to start for the Lookouts, with Jake Jewell (5-6, 4.41) scheduled for the BayBears.
