Biscuits Hold off Lookouts in 5-3 Win
June 29, 2015 - Southern League (SL1)
Montgomery Biscuits News Release
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - It wasn't comfortable late, but the Biscuits (38-35/4-1) beat the Chattanooga Lookouts (44-29/1-4) 5-3 on Monday night to take four out of five from the first-half North Division champions at Riverwalk Stadium.
Patrick Leonard's RBI-double in the bottom of the second followed by a Cameron Seitzer three-run bomb off Jason Wheeler (0-1) in the third was enough for Blake Snell (5-2) to earn his fifth victory of the season, as the left-hander mowed down the mighty Lookouts, hurling six strong innings of one-run ball. The 22-year-old's lone blemish was serving up another gargantuan homer run to Adam Brett Walker who hit his minor league-leading 23rd in the fourth.
Tommy Coyle added an RBI-single of his own in the sixth, and while the Biscuits bullpen wasn't great, and threatened to capsize late, closer Bryce Stowell came on to put out the fire in the ninth, striking out Max Kepler with two on and two out to seal the Biscuit victory with tying run on base.
Montgomery will have an off day on Tuesday and will head to Kodak, Tennessee for a three-game series against the Smokies (42-32/3-2) beginning on Wednesday at 6:05 PM. Ryne Stanek (3-1) will pitch the opener against Pierce Johnson (1-0).
