Jackson Generals

Generals and Smokies Postponed Sunday

April 15, 2018 - Southern League (SL1)
Jackson Generals News Release


Sevierville, Tenn. - After the conclusion of the third inning, Sunday's game between the Jackson Generals and Tennessee Smokies was suspended and postponed due to weather at Smokies Stadium. The contest, which the Generals led 4-3 at the time, will be played to nine-inning completion as part of a double-header that will be scheduled during Tennessee's visit to The Ballpark at Jackson in early June (June 3-June 7). Game times for that double-header will be announced in a later release.

By rule, the second game of that Smokies-Generals double-header will be a seven-innng contest, based on the Southern League's application of the Optional Suspended Game Rule and its consequences [OBR 7.02(a)(7) and 7.02(a)(8)]. Statistics from today's contest will remain valid and are counted as having happened on this date.

SUMMARY OF EARLY ACTION

TOP 1: The Generals draw first blood, scoring two runs in the first inning after loading the bases against Tennessee starter Michael Rucker. Matt Jones drove in Ben DeLuzio and Jamie Westbrook to put the Generals in front 2-0, giving Jones his eighth and ninth RBI of the year.

SCORE: JXN 2, TNS 0

BOTTOM 2: Tennessee manages an RBI single and a pair of bases-loaded walks to take a 3-2 lead on the Generals. Left-hander Yuhei Nakaushiro comes on in relief and induces a fire-dousing double-play grounder to Juniel Querecuto at third.

SCORE: TNS 3, JXN 2

TOP 3: Meeting Tennessee's challenge, the Generals strike for two more runs in the third inning. With Matt Jones and Jamie Westbrook aboard, Galli Cribbs smacks his second triple of the year, giving the Generals the lead back at 4-3.

SCORE: JXN 4, TNS 3

BOTTOM 3: Nakaushiro strands a runner, working through a one-out single to keep the Smokies behind after three innings.

SCORE: JXN 4, TNS 3

UP NEXT: A GENERALS HOMESTAND!
