Knoxville Smokies News Release
Sevierville, TN- Jace Brewer went 6-for-6 while Brian Martin homered twice and drove in 5 runs as Montgomery (38-58, 9-17) topped Tennessee 18-6 Thursday night to split the four game series.
The Smokies allowed a season high in hits (24) and runs in the lopsided loss.
Smokies starter Mike Wodnicki (0-1) struggled in his first start since being called up from Palm Beach. Wodnicki allowed four runs in the second inning on a Martin home run, an RBI single to Dan Massiate, and a two run homer by Brewer.

Eric Reece also hit a two-run third inning shot as Montgomery built a 7-1 lead.
Leading 10-6, the Biscuits sent 13 men to the plate and scored eight runs in the eighth inning to cap the scoring. Tennessee second baseman Chad Ehrnsberger pitched the final 1 1/3 innings.
Papo Bolivar and Nate Espy each homered for Tennessee (50-46, 11-15) in the loss.
