PEARL, MS - Logan Workman delivered five innings, Chander Simpson reached base five times in a four-hit effort, and the Montgomery Biscuits (26-20) topped the Mississippi Braves (22-24) 6-3 on Memorial Day at Trustmark Park.
After falling behind 1-0, the Biscuits broke through in the fifth inning. Dru Baker lifted an RBI double to the gap in right center, and Dominic Keegan scored the leading run on a sacrifice fly to right field to make it 2-1.
