MONTGOMERY, AL -- The Birmingham Barons battled back from an early deficit before a trio of late runs by the Montgomery Biscuits sent the Barons toward their 10th straight loss.

Spencer Adams spun six solid innings despite taking the loss, needing just 87 pitches to work through 6.1 frames on the mound. The 20-year-old Georgia native allowed eight hits and three earned runs while adding three strikeouts.

Southpaw Andre Wheeler stranded an inherited runner but surrendered a pair of runs in the eighth inning. Wheeler faced eight batters and recorded four strikeouts.

Second baseman Joey DeMichele powered the Barons offense, tying a season-high with three hits while also posting a run and two RBIs.

DeMichele's triple in the second inning gave Birmingham an early 1-0 edge; the former Arizona State Sun Devil also added the Barons final run to tie the game 3-3 in the sixth frame.

Infielder Marcus Lemon drove home a run with a sacrifice bunt. First baseman Keon Barnum went 1-for-3 with a run and a walk.

James Dykstra takes to the mound tomorrow as the Barons and Biscuits meet at Riverwalk Stadium with a 7:05 p.m. first pitch.
