MONTGOMERY, AL - The Montgomery Biscuits (43-31, 5-0) pulled off another walk-off in a 3-2 win over the Rocket City Trash Pandas (24-49, 0-5) on Saturday night at Riverwalk Stadium.

Ty Johnson recorded a season-high nine strikeouts over five innings. He allowed two runs on one hit and two walks. Johnson has a 1.77 ERA over his last eight starts (7 ER, 35 2/3 IP).

Nelson Rada hit a two-run homer in the third inning to make it 2-0, his first long ball of the year. In the fifth, Brayden Taylor scored from third base on a double play to make it 2-1.

At 7:29pm CT, rain pulled everyone off the field one out into the sixth inning. Play returned an hour and a half later at 8:59pm CT. Neither club scored until the ninth inning.

After a drop in right field followed by a throwing error brought in the Colton Ledbetter to tie the game, Tres Barrera lifted a sacrifice fly to right field to win it 3-2. Rocket City has dropped 14 games in a row. The game had just three combined hits, and the Biscuits did not get a hit in the ninth inning.

JJ Goss got the win with a scoreless ninth inning.

The series finale is on Sunday afternoon at Riverwalk Stadium. Duncan Davitt will make the start for Montgomery while George Klassen is slated to start for Rocket City. The first pitch is at 3:33pm CT. Fans can listen on Jox 740, MLB At Bat, and Bally Live.
