A pair of crooked innings helped the Montgomery Biscuits (11-16) top the Biloxi Shuckers (11-17) 6-1 on Saturday night in Montgomery.
Biloxi jumped out to a lead two batters into the ballgame as Tyler Friis started the contest with a triple and Turang followed with an RBI single, putting the Shuckers up 1-0. Tristen Lutz then worked a walk and the runners advanced on a groundout by Henry, but Chad Spanberger grounded out to close the top of the first.
LHP Nick Bennett (L, 1-1) retired the first six batters in order but ran into trouble in the third. The Biscuits recorded three straight singles to score a run and plated another two on a sacrifice fly and an advancement home on a pickoff, giving Montgomery a 3-0 lead.
The Biscuits added on three more in the home half of the fourth on a two-run homer from Jonathan Aranda and a solo homer from Jim Haley, extending their advantage to 6-1. LHP Michael Plassmeyer (W, 1-1) limited the Shuckers to just four hits in his five innings of work. Turang and Friis would both pick up hits against Plassmeyer, giving them both multi-hit nights at the top of the order. LHP Nathan Kirby came in and pitched three scoreless innings for Biloxi, striking out two during his longest outing of the season.
