COLUMBUS, GA - The Montgomery Biscuits (45-36, 7-5) dropped the series finale, 3-2, to the Columbus Clingstones (33-45, 7-5) on Sunday afternoon at Synovus Park.

The Biscuits left the bases loaded in the ninth inning. In a furious rally, Cooper Kinney led off the ninth with a home run to make it 3-2. Three straight two-out hits forced a pitching change with the bases loaded. Blane Abeyta entered the game and got the last out of the ballgame to end the comeback bid.

Owen Wild pitched four innings and allowed one run on a solo homer in his first start since June 25. The righty struck out four with no walks.

After falling behind 1-0, the Biscuits tied the game in the sixth. Homer Bush Jr. tripled to the wall in right field and scored on Kinney's sacrifice fly. The Clingstones responded immediately with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 3-1 lead ahead of the dramatic ninth inning.

The club has a scheduled off day ahead of a six-game road series against the Knoxville Smokies.
