BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Montgomery Biscuits (48-43, 10-12) fell to the Birmingham Barons (53-38, 15-7) in game one of the six game series 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Colton Ledbetter reached a base twice in the series opener. A double to start the game off along with a walk assembled a solid night from the Hoover, Ala. native. This was Ledbetter’s first time playing pro baseball in Birmingham, just ten miles north of his hometown.

Will Simpson extended a now-six game hitting streak. He earned his 14th multi-hit game of the year thanks to a single in the seventh and RBI-single in the ninth.

Starting pitcher Ty Johnson was dealing from the mound. Over five scoreless innings the 23-year-old recorded seven strikeouts, allowing four hits and two walks. Johnson has made it five innings with at least five strikeouts in each of his last four starts.

The second game of the series is on Wednesday night at Regions Field. Owen Wild will make the start for Montgomery while Shane Murphy is slated to start for Birmingham. The first pitch is at 7 p.m. CT. Fans can listen on Jox 740, MLB At Bat, and Bally Live.
