MONTGOMERY (Interstat) — Garrett Edwards pitched six dominant innings and Mac Horvath reached base four times as the Montgomery Biscuits beat the visiting Columbus Clingstones 4-1 on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 13, 2026, at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium. The Southern League (AA) game drew 1,466 fans and lasted 1 hour, 53 minutes. Montgomery improved to 70-65, while Columbus fell to 62-67. Edwards earned the win and moved to 6-10, while Davis Polo took the loss and dropped to 9-6.

Edwards allowed one hit and no earned runs over six innings, striking out four and walking one. Jackson Baumeister followed with two hitless innings and two strikeouts, and Justin Yeager worked a hitless ninth with one strikeout. Montgomery pitchers combined for 19 strikes, 39 balls and 19 balls in play. Davis Polo allowed eight hits and three earned runs in 6 1/3 innings, striking out five and walking two. Julio Robaina finished with 1 2/3 hitless innings and two strikeouts. Columbus pitchers combined for 26 strikes, 35 balls and 26 balls in play.

Montgomery took the lead in the first inning. Horvath singled, Cooper Kinney singled and Theo Gillen drove in Horvath with a sacrifice fly. Horvath homered in the second to make it 2-0. Brock Jones added a solo homer in the seventh, and Horvath later scored on a Cooper Kinney groundout that included a throwing error by first baseman Dixon Williams. Horvath finished 3-for-3 with a home run, one RBI and a walk. Jones went 1-for-3 with a home run and one RBI. Gillen was 1-for-3 with one RBI, and Gregory Barrios went 1-for-4. Connor Hujsak was hit by a pitch and singled, while Daniel Vellojin walked and Ryan Spikes struck out in the first.

Columbus managed only one hit. John Gil singled in the fourth inning. Owen Carey went 0-for-4. The Clingstones drew walks from Dixon Williams, Adam Zebrowski and Dalton McIntyre but could not build a rally. Their only run came in their final at-bat when McIntyre walked, moved up on a Gil groundout and scored when Alex Lodise reached on a fielding error by shortstop Gregory Barrios. Carey struck out swinging to end the game. The run was unearned, keeping Edwards and the Montgomery bullpen clean in the earned-run column.

Montgomery’s defense helped protect the lead. The Biscuits turned a double play in the third when Barrios grounded into a John Gil-to-Dixon Williams twin killing. In the fifth, Horvath singled but was thrown out at second after left fielder Eric Hartman relayed to John Gil. Columbus also had a quiet day in the field behind Polo, though the late error allowed the shutout to slip away. Montgomery finished with eight hits, while Columbus finished with one. The Biscuits struck out seven times, and the Clingstones struck out seven times.

The win gave Montgomery three victories in the five-game series between the teams. The Biscuits had won Saturday’s meeting 5-4 in 10 innings, while Columbus won Thursday 4-1. Columbus won the series opener Tuesday, and Montgomery won Wednesday. The Clingstones remain on the road after a series that included two one-run decisions and a pair of lopsided Montgomery wins earlier in the season.

Montgomery’s afternoon was defined by Edwards and Horvath. Edwards kept Columbus off balance throughout his six innings, and Horvath supplied the game’s most consistent offense. Baumeister and Yeager closed the door, while Polo pitched well enough to keep Columbus close but received little support. The Clingstones’ lone hit and lone run were not enough against a Montgomery club that improved its season record to 70-65 and dropped Columbus to 62-67.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Montgomery Biscuits 6, Columbus Clingstones 5. Interstat’s ELO system had projected Montgomery with a 60.2 percent probability to win.
