CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Tennessee Smokies are headed to the Southern League Championship Series after winning the North Division Series over the Chattanooga Lookouts.
The Smokies swept the Lookouts 2-0 after winning Game One at home on Sept. 19, 5-1, and won Game Two on the road on Sept. 21 by a final score of 5-1 again.
This is the second consecutive year the Smokies have booked their spot in the Southern League Championship Series. Last year, Tennessee lost to Pensacola after the three-game series was decided in Game Three.
They have a chance at revenge as Pensacola is the team to advance out of the South Division again. That best-of-three-game series will start on Sept. 24 and will go through Sept. 27 if necessary.
As of Sept. 25, they were 1-0 in the championship series.
