Chattanooga Lookouts logoChattanooga's first Southern League championship series appearance in 18 years was a short one.
The Lookouts were polished off in a three-game sweep by Jacksonville, with the Suns wrapping up the series Friday night at home with a 6-1 victory. Viosergy Rosa drove in four runs for Jacksonville, which won the three games by a combined score of 23-7.
Friday was the final game for the Lookouts as Class AA affiliates of the Los Angeles Dodgers, though that may not be officially announced until next week. The Dodgers have been the parent team of the Lookouts since September 2008.
The Suns went right to work against Chattanooga starting pitcher Jeremy Kehrt, with Austin Nola drawing a leadoff walk and J.T. Realmuto hitting a one-out single to right field. Rosa followed with a home run to right that put Jacksonville up 3-0.
Nola drew a leadoff walk again in the fifth inning and scored on an Austin Barnes double to left to make it 4-0, and then Barnes scored on a Rosa single to right.
Chris O'Brien had three hits for the Lookouts and scored their only run in the ninth inning. O'Brien, Darnell Sweeney and Bobby Coyle each doubled in Chattanooga's season finale.
