A trio of Chattanooga Lookouts had a hand in the North Division's 7-3 win over the South Division in Tuesday night's Southern League All-Star Game in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez, batting leadoff, was 1-for-5 with an RBI, pitcher Scott Moss logged two hitless innings and closer Joel Kuhnel got the last two outs of the game.

Three other Lookouts were named to the team but did not compete for different reasons. Outfielder Taylor Trammell, rated Major League Baseball's No. 15 overall prospect, was placed on the 7-day injured list with a hamstring tear. First baseman Ibandel Isabel has missed the last few games with right knee tendinitis, though he was activated from the IL Monday, and pitcher Tejay Antone (7-4, 3.38 ERA) was promoted to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

The North scored a single run in the first inning and five in the second to pull away early. Birmingham's Luis Robert, recently elevated to a top-five prospect, was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIs, while Jackson catcher Daulton Varsho was 2-for-2 with an RBI and two runs scored. Tennessee Smokies teammates Vimael Machin and P.J. Higgins had two hits each.

Montgomery's Sam McWilliams was named the winning pitcher, though Moss was the only North pitcher to work multiple innings, striking out three.

The Lookouts begin second-half play against Birmingham on Thursday at 7:15 p.m. at AT&T Field.
