BILOXI, MS - Tanner Murray hit a grand slam to cap off a seven-run eighth inning, and the Montgomery Biscuits (16-13) stormed back from an early deficit and topped the Biloxi Shuckers (14-15) to even the series at a game apiece on Wednesday afternoon at Shuckers Ballpark.
The Biscuits fell behind 4-0 after three innings. Cole Wilcox pushed through five innings and allowed four runs in his sixth start of the season.

Ricardo Genoves homered in back-to-back games on a two-run shot to left center to tie the game at 4-4. The Biscuits never looked back.
In the eighth, Montgomery posted a seven-run inning to jump in front 11-4. Matthew Dyer doubled down the right-field line for the first run of the inning. Murray capped off the rally with a grand slam to left field. It was the club's first grand slam of the season.
Antonio Menendez earned his first win with two shutout innings of relief.
