Braeden Schlehuber's one-out single in the eighth scored Ed Lucas with the game-winner as Mississippi took a 5-4 victory in the opener of a five-game series with Mobile.
Lucas had reached on a leadoff single, his third hit of the game, and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Mycal Jones. Schlehuber lined an 0-1 pitch from Clay Zavada (1-2) to break the tie.
Mississippi used two two-run innings in the sixth and seventh to erase a 3-0 deficit, with Ernesto Mejia having a hand in both innings. He had a single and scored a run in the sixth, when the M-Braves got four hits including a two-run single from Jones. Mejia gave Mississippi its first lead with a two-out, two-run home run in the seventh, his 18th of the season. Both runs in the inning were unearned, with Willie Cabrera reaching on a throwing error.
Chris Cody started for Mississippi and allowed three runs on six hits in five innings. Rowdy Hardy (3-4) got the win despite allowing a tying run in the seventh. Benino Pruneda pitched two scoreless innings for his eighth save.
