Generals' Finale at Montgomery Suspended Due to Rain

August 1, 2018 - Southern League (SL1)
Jackson Generals News Release


MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, had their daytime final at Montgomery suspended due to weather after an inning and a half on Wednesday at Riverwalk Stadium. The Generals (58-50) and Biscuits (59-50) will finish the currently scoreless contest as part of a double-header during Montgomery's series at Jackson, which occurs August 14-18. A time and date for the resumption of the suspended game at Jackson has not yet been announced. Statistics and results from the game are not final and will not count toward season totals until the game is completed.

Jon Duplantier started for the Generals on Wednesday and retired each of the three hitters he faced in the first inning, throwing 13 pitches (8 strikes) in his first start since May. Offensively, eight Jackson hitters came to the plate, but only two of them reached base, with none recording hits against Montgomery's Dalton Moats. The Biscuits currently hold an 8-6 lead over the Generals in their season series, with Jackson (58-50) trailing Montgomery (59-50) by a half game in the overall season standings.

Manager Shelley Duncan and the Generals return home on Thursday, August 2 to begin a five-game series with the Tennessee Smokies. Entering the final month of the season, Jackson is 28-31 against North Division opponents. All six of the Generals' final regular season series feature North Division competition. After winning the North Division in the First Half, the Generals are guaranteed to host two opening-round games in the Southern League Playoffs at The Ballpark at Jackson on September 5 and September 6. The team that wins the North Division in the Second Half will oppose the Generals in that series, which will be a best-of-five series.
