PEARL, MS. - The Biscuits (40-37) flipped the script on the Mississippi Braves (38-38) on Wednesday night at Trustmark Park by recording their seventh shutout win of the season by a score of 6-0.
Montgomery jumped out to a quick first inning lead against Scott Blewett (3-4) and the Braves, starting with Ronny Simon stealing home to put the first run on the board. Mason Auer doubled in the next at-bat and brought in his 21st RBI of the season. Tristan Peters then followed with an RBI-single into right field to put the Biscuits ahead 3-0 going into the second.
Junior Caminero added another run to the lead in the second inning despite grounding out to Cade Bunnell at first base, as Gionti Turner was able reach the plate in time to make the score 4-0.
