MONTGOMERY, AL - The Montgomery Biscuits dropped a back-and-forth 13-12 decision in 10 innings to the Columbus Clingstones on Sunday afternoon at DABOS Park.

The Montgomery Biscuits (3-5) came out swinging early, jumping to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a sacrifice fly from Kenny Piper and a solo home run by Cooper Kinney.

Montgomery added to the lead in the second inning when Gregory Barrios drove in two runs on a fielder's choice, scoring Mac Horvath and Ryan Spikes to make it 4-0.

The Columbus Clingstones (5-4) began chipping away in the third inning with a solo home run from Luke Waddell, but the game turned dramatically in the fourth. Columbus erupted for seven runs in the frame, highlighted by a two-run homer from Jordan Groshans and a bases-clearing double from David McCabe, giving the Clingstones an 8-4 lead.

Columbus extended the advantage to 9-4 in the fifth on a solo home run from Ethan Workinger.

The Biscuits answered immediately in the bottom half of the fifth inning. Horvath launched a two-run homer, and Jhon Diaz followed with a solo shot to cut the deficit to 9-7.

Xavier Isaac added a 428-foot solo home run in the sixth inning to bring Montgomery within one at 9-8.

Montgomery completed the comeback in the seventh inning when Barrios lifted a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Horvath and tying the game at 9-9.

Columbus regained the lead in the eighth on an RBI double from Waddell, but the Biscuits responded again in the ninth. Pinch-hitter Austin Overn delivered a game-tying RBI triple to center field, scoring Spikes and sending the game to extra innings tied at 10-10.

In the 10th inning, the Clingstones capitalized with three runs. Ambioris Tavarez doubled home a run, Kevin Kilpatrick Jr. added a sacrifice fly, and McCabe delivered an RBI single to make it 13-10.

Montgomery refused to go quietly in the bottom of the 10th. Isaac tripled to score Barrios, and Piper followed with a sacrifice fly to bring the Biscuits within one at 13-12. However, the tying run was left stranded as Columbus secured the win.

LJ McDonough (1-1) earned the victory for Columbus despite allowing the game-tying run earlier, while Derrick Edington (0-1) took the loss for Montgomery after allowing three runs in the 10th inning.

Montgomery tallied 13 hits in the contest, with multi-hit performances from Diaz, Horvath, Spikes, and Isaac. The Biscuits hit four home runs and went 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position.

Columbus collected 15 hits, led by McCabe's four RBIs and three-hit efforts from Ethan Workinger and Archer Brookman. The Clingstones went 6-for-13 with runners in scoring position in the win.
