The Tennessee Smokies locked up a series win against the Chattanooga Lookouts with a win in eleven innings on Monday night at AT&T Field.

The struggling Lookouts have now lost seven consecutive games and 21 of their last 22 contests.

The Lookouts found themselves yet again, in another extra innings shoot-out as they come out on the losing end to the Smokies 4-3, the same score as their Sunday loss.

The Smokies set the tone early in the first inning, getting on the board first thanks to an Ian Ricesingle to left scoring Roberto Caro.

The Lookouts evened the score in the bottom half to one apiece as OF Jose Siri went deep with a solo shot for his tenth home run of the year.

After that, it was the arms between the two teams that were on display.

LHP Packy Naughton shined again for Chattanooga as he went six innings allowing a lone run, on three hits, while fanning six as he earned a no decision.

The Smokies starter RHP Thomas Hatch's outing, was short but effective as he only pitched three and a third innings holding the Lookouts to a run, on three hits.

With the two teams, trading zeros all the way into extras, it was the Smokies who upped the score in the tenth thanks to a Jared Young single to right scoring Vimael Machin.

The Lookouts tied the score in the bottom half with a Taylor Trammell fielder's choice scoring Brantley Bell.

Going to the eleventh inning, it was the Smokies who had the upper hand as they tagged RHP Wyatt Strahan for a pair of runs to retake the lead 4-2, as Machin had the big hit, a single to center.

Chattanooga rallied back with a run, but fell short as Gavin LaValley came up empty to close out the ballgame.
