Montgomery Biscuits News Release
PEARL, MS. - The Biscuits (39-37) looked to brush off a nine-run shutout loss from the night before, but the Mississippi Braves (38-37) were able to put four runs on the board just before weather conditions ended the game, sealing a 4-0 loss on Tuesday night at Trustmark Park.
Cole Wilcox (2-7) and Hayden Deal opened the game strong for their respective teams, allowing a combined three hits and recording eight strikeouts in the first four innings of play. Not long after Deal's night came to an end, Mississippi found success at a convenient time.
Tyler Tolve and Landon Stephens used a pair of RBI-doubles to put the Braves ahead 2-0 in the fifth inning. Not long after, Cal Conley and Luke Waddell recorded a pair of RBI-singles to make the score 4-0 entering the sixth.
