MONTGOMERY - Tydus Meadows broke a 1-1 tie with his second home run in two games, as the Jacksonville Suns (35-20) punctuated a dominant series at Montgomery with a 5-1 win over the Biscuits (30-24).

Entering the five-game set at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium, the Suns led the Biscuits by 1.5 games in the South Division. They leave the Cradle of the Confederacy up 4.5 games after taking four of the five contests from their hosts.

Righthander Spike Lundberg (6-1) added another fine starting pitching effort for Jackonsville, fanning nine Montgomery batters over 7.0 innings in which he allowed just one unearned run on five hits.

That lone Biscuits run came in the second inning, giving the home team a temporary 1-0 lead. Centerfielder Jason Pridie, 2-for-3 in the game, singled home Gabriel Martinez, who had reached on a rare fielding error by Suns shortstop Chin-Lung Hu.

A Craig Brazell RBI double tied the score in the fourth, the sole run off Montgomery starter Jason Cromer in five tough innings.

The Biscuits' trusted bullpen did not fare as well.

Facing reliever Brian Henderson (1-1) to lead off the seventh, Suns leftfielder Meadows gave the visitors the lead with a laser over the left-centerfield wall. Bullpen mate Jean Machi was treated worse, surrending a run in the eighth and two in the ninth.

Henderson and Machi had entered the evening sporting 0.44 and 0.64 earned run averages respectively. Those rose to 0.81 and 1.50 at game's end.

The Biscuits will hope to re-discover their winning ways on a ten-game roadtrip starting 6:15 pm on Friday night with a five-game series in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Montgomery sends #1 starter Andrew Sonnanstine (3-4, 3.56) against the Lookouts' Josh Hall (1-0, 4.24).
