PEARL, Miss.- Alex Colome (2-1) struck out a season-high ten while the Biscuits (29-26) offense scored eight runs in the fourth inning to take the rubber-match 9-1 over the Mississippi Braves (24-30) Friday night at Trustmark Park.

The Biscuits brought 13 batters to the plate to score the eight runs in the fourth inning. There were five hits, five walks and three wild pitches between Braves' starter David Hale (3-3) and reliever Brett Cammons. Ryan Gark had two hits, two RBI and scored two runs in the frame while Kyeong Kang also had two hits in the fourth.
