The White Sox's winning streak came to a halt on Tuesday, but the Birmingham Barons wouldn't be stopped.
The Barons have now won 10 games in a row after their 2-1 walk-off victory over Montgomery, and in classic 2025 Barons fashion, all the runs were scored in the ninth inning.
The game was scoreless through eight before the Biscuits took the lead in the ninth on a two-out Will Simpson single. But Sam Antonacci worked a four-pitch walk to open the ninth, then scored on Wilfred Veras' double when the throw to second bounced into the middle of the diamond, effectively winning the race home against the ball.
And that is how you rally.

Veras then stole third to bring the infield in, and Colby Smelley took advantage by shooting a grounder through the right side for the walk-off winner.
THE BARONS WALK IT OFF!
