Luis Montano had his best Double-A start Friday night, but a couple of unearned runs unraveled it in the seventh inning.
And the Montgomery Biscuits scored all three of their runs in the seventh to claim a 3-1 victory over Carolina.
Montano (0-6) was pitching a two-hitter through six innings before the Biscuits put together their good-luck rally.
Carolina got a go-ahead run on base in the ninth before Matt Gorgen closed out the save.
Aneury Rodriguez (9-10) won his fifth straight decision for Montgomery.
Shaun Cumberland (pictured) scored Carolina’s only run on a Logan Parker grounder in the second.
Jerry Gil (2-3, 9.39) will start Game 2 of the five-game set for Carolina tonight at 8:05 against Ryan Morse (3-6, 5.26).

FIVE COUNTY STADIUM/ZEBULON It’s the finale of the Carolina Mudcats’ five-game homestand against the Tennessee Smokies and there’s no reason for the Mudcats not to relax.
Earlier today a West Tenn Diamond Jaxx victory made the inevitable official. The Mudcats, who came within one game of the first-half North Division title, are not going to be in the Southern League playoffs.
For Tennessee it’s a very big game, as there is still a three-way race among the Volunteer State teams for the division title.
Carolina continues to feed its best players to Triple-A Louisville, with veteran southpaw Tom Cochran the latest to head for a probable Governors’ Cup Playoff team.
There’s a college night promotion going on, and fans and Mudcats employees are wearing logo clothing for either their alma mater or the school they root for.
The players get in on the action, too, as the college alumni are greeted by their school’s fight songs when they come to bat and everybody who didn’t go to college gets assigned one.
Let’s get some chicken tenders and start this pitchers’ duel, which finishes in a 2-1 comeback victory for the visitors.
It’s a good one from the start, with the World Cup-bound Dutchman Alexander Smit (pictured) on the mound for Carolina against Casey Coleman. Continue reading »

DURHAM/DBAP–The great and irascible manager Leo Durocher once said: “You don’t save your best pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.” I know what you’re thinking, but incredibly Durocher was not a Scorpio.
Nor did Leo manage in the age of multimillion-dollar bonuses, inflexible pitch counts and Tommy John Surgery. In 2009, you’re damn skippy you save your best pitcher for tomorrow if that’s what the front office tells you to do. So Mitch Talbot started last night’s season-opener for the Bulls as per orders from HQ, and phenom David Price was slated for tonight. At 6:45 PM, the DBAP press box was positively drizzling with excitement.
Guess what? It rained. It also thundered and lightninged. No baseball in Durham. Price will pitch tomorrow instead.
In the mean time, a couple of notes from other pastures:
