Change-Up: Tropical Storm Barry Alters Schedule for Generals, Barons

July 13, 2019 - Southern League (SL1)
Jackson Generals News Release

Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, have agreed to alter their originally-scheduled six-game series with the Birmingham Barons because of the expected impact of Tropical Storm Barry in the region. Instead of playing games at 6:05pm CT on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the two sides have agreed to cancel their Tuesday, July 16 game and play a double-header on Sunday, July 14 beginning at 2:05pm CT in order to make the best effort to complete five games in the series.

After the conclusion of Sunday's second contest, the Barons will depart for Birmingham to avoid consequences due to the incoming weather. After this series concludes, the Generals will have three days off before playing at Montgomery on Thursday, while Birmingham will have three days to recharge before hosting Tennessee. Entering play Sunday, Jackson has won 13 of their 18 meetings with Birmingham this season. The cancelled game will make the season series 20 games in length, rather than 21. Ticket-holders for Monday's and Tuesday's contests can exchange their tickets for future Generals home dates at the box office at The Ballpark at Jackson. Normal ticket-exchange policies will apply.
