Jim Gallagher and Tyler Kuhn would each club RBI doubles in the inning to make it 7-1.
After Henry Wrigley homered to cut it to 7-2 and the Barons scored one against Ryan Reid in the seventh, the Biscuits put together their greatest rally of the night. Wrigley and Sweeney hit back-to-back one-out doubles to make it 8-3, then John Matulia followed with a two-run homer to right to reduce the deficit to 8-5.
Paul Phillips, though, gave up a run in the eighth and two in the ninth with the Biscuits going hitless over the final two frames to end things.
Nevin Ashley also homered for Montgomery, tying the game at 1-1 in the fourth and breaking up a no-hitter for Birmingham’s Justin Edwards (2-5).
