KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The Montgomery Biscuits (46-37, 8-6) evened the series after a 7-5 comeback win over the Knoxville Smokies (39-43, 7-7) on Wednesday night.
After going down by five runs after the first three innings, Montgomery managed to turn things around in the later stages of game two. Putting up five runs over a three-inning span, the Biscuits tied things up after the sixth.
In the eighth, a pair of singles would put Montgomery on the bases. Homer Bush Jr. managed to send those two home after an RBI single along with a Smokies error. Those runs secured the 7-5 Montgomery win.
Tres Barrera had a perfect night from the plate. The designated hitter totaled for two hits, two runs and one RBI. Will Simpson had a pair of hits for himself with a run and RBI as well.
The win is credited to Alex Cook, who pitched two strikeouts in a scoreless one inning during his Montgomery debut. Derrick Edington earns his fifth save of the year after shoving three strikeouts in two innings of no score.

Down 1-0 in the third, Xavier Isaac tied the game with a single through the right side to score Cooper Kinney's triple. Isaac went 2-for-5 with his first home run of the season and two RBI.
Jackson Baumeister tossed five innings of one-run ball before things unraveled in the sixth. Baumeister was lifted four batters into the inning, and Biloxi put up six runs with two homers in the frame to take a 7-1 lead.
Brayden Taylor doubled in a run in the seventh to make it 7-2. Isaac smashed his home run in the ninth on a ball off the net past the left-field wall. The Biscuits left a season-high 13 runners on base and had a runner on in every inning.
