CHATTANOOGA, TN - The Montgomery Biscuits (32-26) led 5-2 entering the eighth inning, got a tying homer in the ninth inning, but still succumbed to a walk-off 8-7 loss in the series opener against the Chattanooga Lookouts (16-42) on Tuesday night at AT&T Field.
Carson Williams smacked two homers, including a game-tying, two-run shot in the ninth inning. It was his third multi-homer game of the season.
