MONTGOMERY — The Rocket City Trash Pandas took home a big win against the Montgomery Biscuits on Saturday in a 6-1 dominant fashion.
From the outset, Rocket City controlled the game.
The Trash Pandas got on the board first with a single from designated hitter Orlando Martinez to run in Christian Moore. Moore singled, stole second base, and went to third after a fly out by Tucker Flint to get in scoring position.
Singles from Sam Brown and Denzer Guzman, a walk from Nelson Rada to start the second played a big role in the 3 RBI inning. David Mershon hit a single with bases loaded to drive in Brown, and another single from Christian Moore to run in Guzman. Flint drove in his 55th run of the season, scoring Rada on a fly out.
Orlando Martinez put the final nail in the coffin with a score in the eighth inning after a fielding error by the Biscuits gave the Trash Pandas a five run lead.
The Trash Pandas return to Toyota Field on Tuesday to open a 13-game homestand against the Tennessee Smokies.
