MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Biscuits (36-36/1-1) took a 2-0 lead into the seventh inning before falling 5-3 to the Mobile BayBears (43-28/1-1) Friday night at Riverwalk Stadium.
The Biscuits rallied in the ninth inning from a three-run deficit. Taylor Motter led off with an infield single. Alejandro Segovia followed with a one out double to bring the tying run to the plate. Jeff Malm entered the game as a pinch hitter. His groundout to second brought in a run and cut the deficit to two. Jeremy Moore then came in to pinch hit.
