Right from the get-go, the Wahoos showed promise when Yiddi Cappe drove in his first Double-A run with an infield single in the top of the first inning. However, the Biscuits quickly countered, tying the game at 1-1 thanks to a single from Brayden Taylor that brought Cooper Kinney home.

In the top of the fifth, Pensacola regained the lead—this time with a sacrifice fly by Cappe, following a double by Kemp Alderman and a walk to Fenwick Trimble, making it 2-1. Yet, the sixth inning brought further drama when Montgomery’s Homer Bush Jr. hit a two-run single, swinging the score to 3-2.
The tight finish was capped as Montgomery’s pitchers retired the last 13 Blue Wahoos batters in order, securing their victory and keeping the Wahoos’ lead in the Southern League’s South Division at 2.5 games. With 31 games remaining in the season, the Blue Wahoos now shift their focus as they prepare to return home on August 12 for a six-game series against the Birmingham Barons, the first pitch set for 6:05 p.m. CT.
