Series 4 – Chattanooga (9-7) at Jackson (9-7)
Game 2 – April 22
Jackson’s Yoan Lopez held the Lookouts to two hits and one run over six innings, leaving with a 3-1 advantage. The Generals’ bullpen promptly gave up the lead, with Scott Crichton retiring only three of the seven batters he faced in a two-run Lookouts seventh. Walker and Wade picked up RBI singles in the inning. Corcino’s sac fly scored Wiel in the ninth for a 4-3 lead but Tyler Jay couldn’t hold it in the bottom of the inning. Cave then capped a two-run tenth with a homer that put the visitors ahead to stay and capped a great late-inning rally.
Lookouts 6, Generals 4 (10 inn.)

Game 3 – April 23 – Lookouts (10-7) at Generals (9-8)
Rooker and Wiel went back to back to stake Kohl Stewart to a 5-3 lead in the fifth inning of game three. For Wiel, it was his fourth straight solo home run, putting him in the position of having four home runs and four RBI. Miles Jaye couldn’t hold the lead this time, allowing the tying run in the last of the seventh, and Moya allowed the winning run with Jay unavailable to work after his epic ninth inning the night before. Marcus Wilson had two hits for Jackson, Josh Prince had three hits for Jackson, and the Lookouts were left to absorb a loss which had been as frustrating as the win the night before had been exhilarating.
Generals 6, Lookouts 5

Game 4 – April 24 – Lookouts (10-8) at Generals (10-8)
The battle continued as Cody Stashak was nearly as good as Romero had been in the opener. After seeing Romero’s 95-mile-per-hour heat, Stashak’s 86-88 was annoyingly slower to the Jackson batters. Stashak scattered six hits, all singles, in a complete-game effort while fanning eight, walking one and looking at times like he was hardly trying. Wiel, Cave and Rooker all did yard work for Chattanooga, which worked its way back into first place with a dominant win.
Lookouts 7, Generals 0

Game 5 – April 25 – Lookouts (11-8) at Generals (10-9)
Wiel hit another solo home run but drove in two on the day – giving him six home runs and seven RBI for the year – but the hero was Isaac Ballou. The seldom-used outfielder slammed a ninth-inning, pinch-hit grand slam off losing pitcher Wei-Chieh Huang (0-2) to power the Lookouts to a 10-6 win, and four games out of five in the series. John Curtiss (2-0) was the lucky fellow in relief in a game that saw both starting pitchers struggle. There were five home runs in the game, and Sawyer and English both had three hits each for Chattanooga.
Lookouts 10, Generals 6
Standings – First place (12-8), 2GA of Jackson and Birmingham
