MONTGOMERY, AL - The Montgomery Biscuits (20-16) entered the bottom of the ninth tied at 3-3 with the Biloxi Shuckers (22-15). The Biscuits had not scored since their three-run first inning and slowly surrendered the lead.
Willy Vasquez flipped the game back to the Biscuits, leading off with triple in the ninth to set up a sacrifice flly by Ricardo Genoves, and Montgomery walked off for a 4-3 win on Friday night at Riverwalk Stadium.
Cooper Kinney smacked his eighth homer of the season to right for the first run of the game. After three walks loaded the bases, Vasquez shot a ball through the middle of the infield to score two more runs and cap a three-run first inning.
