Birmingham Barons News Release
The Barons turned their recent offensive slump aside Sunday, knocking out 15 hits en route to a 10-4 victory over the Jackson Generals in front of 1,331 fans at Generals Park.
The offensive onslaught was led by Dan Wagner (3-for-4) and Tyler Saladino (3-for-5) as the Barons jumped out to a 10-0 advantage after six innings. Wagner finished with two doubles on the night and drove in two runs in support of starter Nick McCully (3-1, 3.67).

With the win, the Barons improved to 28-16 on the season while Jackson fell to 18-24.
The Barons will look to win their third road series in a row tomorrow night as Southern League wins leader LHP Scott Snodgress (5-2, 4.13) takes the hill against RHP Brett Shankin (2-1, 4.22). First pitch is scheduled for 12:05 PM CDT.
