Montgomery Biscuits News Release
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - After a tough defeat on Thursday, the Biscuits (17-10) bounced back and took down the Mobile BayBears (12-15), 7-5, in the third game of a five-game series on Friday night in front of 5,689 on Military Appreciation Night at Riverwalk Stadium.
Kenny Rosenberg (2-0) went six scoreless innings for his second victory of the season, fanning a season-high eight batters in a dominant performance.
The lefty got his first bit of run support in the first when Josh Lowe clubbed his fifth home run of the season over the right field wall to put the Biscuits ahead 1-0 against BayBears starter Jeremy Beasley (1-2).
An inning later, Kevin Padlo grounded to short in what might have been an inning-ending double play, only to watch it bungled by Roberto Baldoquin. That open the gates for the Biscuits and Jermaine Palacios who singled home the game's second run to make it 2-0.
A few batters later, Brett Sullivan, who stole three bases in the game, delivered a two-run single, and then went on to swipe second on a double steal with Lowe nabbing home to cap off a four-run second. The Biscuits stole a season-high six bases in the win.
The BayBears would scratch a couple of runs off Tyler Zombro in the seventh to end the shutout, before the Biscuits responded with two runs of their own in the bottom half on a David Rodriguez RBI-single and a Brendan McKay sac fly. Julian Leon would hit a three-run homer for the BayBears in the top of the eighth, his second-straight game with a long-ball.
The Biscuits will go for their fifth-straight series win on Saturday when Brendan McKay (0-0) pitches against Luis Madero (0-1) when it will be Star Wars Night with a Jersey Auction and MAX Fireworks. The series will wrap up with a Cinco de Mayo Celebration on Sunday, May 5.
