The Minnesota Twins have seen their minor league teams this year rate as the top team in many of their affiliate levels. A day after the Elizabethton Twins swept their way to the Appalachian League championship, the Chattanooga Lookouts won a deciding game 5 in walk off fashion!
Chattanooga went 91-49 on the season, the second-most wins of any team in the minor leagues this season. They won both the first-half and second-half North division titles. Overall, the Lookouts finished 15 games ahead of the second-best record in the entire Southern League. The Southern League was one of three leagues that chose to go to co-champions and shorten their playoffs due to the impending Hurricane Irma.
