MONTGOMERY, AL - Henry Wrigley crushed an eighth inning, two-out, two-run homer to push the Biscuits (12-10) past the Huntsville Stars (10-12) in a 5-4 comeback-win Saturday night at Riverwalk.

A Stephen Vogt single kept the inning alive for Wrigley to nail the homer to left off Robert Hinton (1-2), turning a one-run deficit into a one-run lead. The Biscuits trailed 4-1 before the seventh, when Kyeong Kang and John Shelby both delivered RBIs to cut the deficit to one.

The ninth inning wasn't easy, with Brock Kjelgaard leading the inning off with a single. He'd move to second on a groundout before Isaias Velasquez made a game-saving over-the-shoulder catch on the warning track. Zach Quate (14) got Anderson De La Rosa to fly out to left to end the game.

Frank De Los Santos (3-6) was the winner for the Biscuits, allowing just one hit over 3.1 scoreless innings of relief. Both starters took no-decisions, with Jim Paduch allowing four runs on six hits over 4.2 and Kyle Heckathorn giving up three runs on four hits over 6.1

The Stars had scored four-straight in the middle innings after Cole Figueroa homered to stake the Biscuits to a 1-0 second inning lead.

The Biscuits will play a double-header against the Stars tomorrow. LHP Matt Moore will go in game one with RHP Shane Dyer taking the ball in the second game.
