The Biscuits scored all six runs on two-out rallies. Homer Bush Jr. and Cooper Kinney notched back-to-back RBI hits in the fifth to give the club a 3-2 lead. In the sixth, Bush Jr. hit another single to score two runs and make it 6-2. Bush Jr. went 3-for-5 with three RBI in his 22nd multi-hit game.

Kodi Whitley allowed one unearned run in two innings of relief, and JJ Goss earned his 11th save with a scoreless ninth inning.

The series finale is on Sunday afternoon at Covenant Health Park. A player to be named will make the start for Montgomery while Sam Armstrong is slated to start for Knoxville. The first pitch is at 12:00p.m. CT. Fans can listen on Jox 740, MLB At Bat, and Bally Live.

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.
