Biscuits Popped by Firebirds, 6-4
Montgomery first baseman Greg Bailey was sensational. He went 2-2 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 runs. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Mississippi beat the Biscuits, 6-4. Tony Holmes picked up the win, lifting his record to 2-1 on the season. He struck out 7 and walked 4 in 5 innings, while yielding 4 runs. Juan Martínez earned the save for Mississippi, his 6th.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Firebirds first baseman Rudy Swanson hit a sinker from Ben Lake for a 2-run single. Just like that, Mississippi was up, 4-3.

"I like our mindset right now," said Mississippi manager Chris Herrmann.

The Biscuits fall to 9-13 and continue their lackluster start in 2025.
