MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Biscuits (75-56) faced a familiar situation as they trailed early against the Chattanooga Lookouts (68-62), but the Butter and Blue rallied once again to claim a 6-3 victory on Saturday night at Riverwalk Stadium.
Cole Wilcox (5-8) surrendered the first runs of the game in the second inning when Matheu Nelson homered on a fly ball to left field and James Free recorded an RBI-single to right field, making the score 2-0.
Chattanooga extended its lead in the third when Tyler Callihan brought Blake Dunn in to score on a single of his own. However, Montgomery was able to respond with a two-run double from Tanner Murray in the next frame as the Lookouts took a 3-2 lead into the fourth.
Despite allowing two unearned runs, Chase Petty only surrendered four hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings pitched.

Junior Caminero added to the lead in the next inning with a solo-shot to right-center field to make the score 6-3. Caminero now has 18 home runs this season, which is tied for 8th place in the Southern League and is the most by any Biscuit this season.
