Suns Fall Short to Biscuits 3-2

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Montgomery Biscuits (2-6) staved off a late rally by the Jacksonville Suns (5-2) to hold on to a 3-2 win Friday night from Bragan Field.

Hear from Suns Manager David Berg Postgame:

Jared Mortensen (W, 1-0) picked up the win in his start for Montgomery going a strong six scoreless innings while walking one and striking out four. Suns starter Kendry Flores (L, 1-1) took the loss manufacturing five innings allowing three runs (all earned) on one walk and two strikeouts. Jhan Marinez (S, 1) gave up a run in the ninth but bounced Isaac Galloway into a game-ending double play to seal his first save.

The scoring began when Tyler Goeddel singled in the second frame scoring Patrick Leonard to hop Montgomery out in front 1-0. That was followed a few batters later by a Leonardo Reginatto's RBI groundout to double up the Biscuits advantage 2-0.

Moving to the top of the fourth, Tyler Goedell (HR, 2) would blast a home run for the second straight night to give the Biscuits the 3-0 lead.

The Suns would bring one run home in the last of the seventh. A Sharif Othman RBI base knock scored Zack Cox who lead of the inning with a walk, cutting the Biscuits lead to 3-1 through seven innings of play.

In the ninth, a RBI single by Justin Bohn, brought home Carlos Lopez from second to cut the Suns to within a run. Isaac Galloway then stepped to the plate with runners at first and third, and one out, to then ground into a game-ending double play sealing the 3-2 Montgomery win.

Frankie Reed and Lay Batista combined tossed four scoreless frames in relief for the Suns while totaling four strikeouts between the two.
