Biscuits Mount Comeback in 7-5 Win Over Smokies

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The Montgomery Biscuits (46-37, 8-6) evened the series after a 7-5 comeback win over the Knoxville Smokies (39-43, 7-7) on Wednesday night.

After going down by five runs after the first three innings, Montgomery managed to turn things around in the later stages of game two. Putting up five runs over a three-inning span, the Biscuits tied things up after the sixth.

In the eighth, a pair of singles would put Montgomery on the bases. Homer Bush Jr. managed to send those two home after an RBI single along with a Smokies error. Those runs secured the 7-5 Montgomery win.

Tres Barrera had a perfect night from the plate. The designated hitter totaled for two hits, two runs and one RBI. Will Simpson had a pair of hits for himself with a run and RBI as well.

The win is credited to Alex Cook, who pitched two strikeouts in a scoreless one inning during his Montgomery debut. Derrick Edington earns his fifth save of the year after shoving three strikeouts in two innings of no score.

The third game of the series is on Thursday evening at Covenant Health Park. Ty Cummings will make the start for Montgomery while Tyler Schlaffer is slated to start for Knoxville. The first pitch is at 6 p.m. CT. Fans can listen on Jox 740, MLB At Bat, and Bally Live.
