MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Starter Heath Rollins allowed one unearned run in six innings while J.T. Hall added three hits and two RBI leading the Montgomery Biscuits (69-67, 35-31) to a 7-2 victory over the Jacksonville Suns (65-72, 32-35) in front of 6,789 at Riverwalk Stadium.

Muegge allowed six earned runs, eleven hits and two walks over four relief innings. Montgomery starter Heath Rollins (1-1) lasted six innings with one unearned runs, seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts for the victory.
