KODAK, Tenn – The Tennessee Smokies (21-12) took control early and never looked back as they defeated the Biscuits (15-18) 12-5 in the series finale to complete the seven-game series sweep Sunday afternoon at Smokies Stadium.

In the top of the first inning, the Biscuits were able to get on the board first thanks to a sacrifice fly by Grant Witherspoon that scored Kameron Misner and made it 1-0.

The Biscuits held on to their lead until the bottom of the fourth inning as things got out of control. Chase Strumpf recorded an RBI-single to tie the game at one. After a fielding error by Biscuits outfielder Witherspoon, Smokies Bryce Ball and Strumpf scored to extend the lead to 4-1. A pair of RBI-singles from Christian Donahue and Darius Hill put things further out of reach as the Smokies made it 6-1 going into the seventh inning.

In the bottom of the fifth, another Biscuits fielding error by Curtis Mead allowed Andy Weber to score and go up 7-1. With two outs, Luis Vazquez connected on a three-run home run from Biscuits Chris Gau that put the Smokies in the double-digits 10-1.

Montgomery found a spark of offense in the top of the sixth. Austin Shenton drove in a run for the Biscuits with an RBI-double to make it 10-2. Jordan Qsar then blasted a two-run home run deep to center that shortened the deficit to 10-4. Roberto Alvarez joined in on the fun and recorded an RBI-triple to right that made it 10-5 Smokies before the end of the sixth.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Smokies got a run back after an RBI-single from Ball. Ball was 10-25 with seven runs, two home runs, and 12 RBIs in the series against the Biscuits. Ball is second in the Southern League in RBIs and in the top-five in hits (40) and doubles (11).

In the bottom of the eighth, Hill added another run for good measure from a solo home run to center. Smokies Nicholas Padilla came in to lock the game away as the Smokies completed the sweep and first place position in the Southern North division.
