MONTGOMERY, Ala.- The Biscuits (26-24) put the winning run on base in the ninth inning but could not score off Jackson Generals' (29-21) closer Carter Capps (5) in a 4-2 loss to the Generals Sunday afternoon at Riverwalk Stadium.

With the Biscuits trailing 4-2 to start the bottom of the ninth, Michael Sheridan and Tyler Bortnick led off with back-to-back singles. Brad Coon sacrificed both runners into scoring postion. After a strikeout from Emeel Salem, Capps walked Hak-Ju Lee to load the bases and put the potential winning run on base. Jackson's closer would come through by striking out Ty Morrison to end the game.

The Biscuits came back from a 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two outs and runners on second and third, Omar Luna slapped a looping single to right field to score both runners and tie the game. Luna went 4-4 with two RBI on the day. The Generals would regain the lead in the following inning with a two-run home run from Chris Pettit.

Reigning Pitcher of the Week Kyle Lobstein matched Taijuan Walker, the top rated prospect in the Mariner's system, pitch for pitch. Lobstein went five strong innings giving up two runs on six hits while striking out four in a no-decision. Walker also gave up two runs on six hits in a five inning, no-decision effort. Marquis Fleming (3-1) surrendered the long ball from Pettit to get tagged with his first loss of the season.

The Biscuits took three of five from Generals heading into a five game road trip in Mississippi. RHP Joe Cruz will start for Montgomery in the series opener, while Mississippi will send out RHP Zeke Spruill. First pitch is at 7:05 on Monday from Trustmark Park in Pearl, Mississippi.
