MONTGOMERY, AL – After falling behind 2-0 early, the Biloxi Shuckers (21-33) came back with three unanswered runs, but a late push from the Montgomery Biscuits (32-23) led to a 5-4 Shuckers loss in 10 innings at Riverwalk Stadium on Friday night.

In the sixth, the Shuckers tied the game at two after an RBI triple from Carlos Rodriguez and a sacrifice fly from Brock Wilken. They took a 3-2 lead in the seventh when Zavier Warren blooped a single into left, scoring Ernesto Martinez from third. In the bottom of the inning, however, the Biscuits tied the game at three with an inside-the-park home run from Chandler Simpson, his first at the Double-A level.
In the ninth, the Biscuits put the winning run at second with two outs, but Sam Carlson entered the game and induced a flyout to right, sending the game to extras for the second straight night.
