LAST GAME: Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, postponed Saturday's scheduled game against the Chattanooga Lookouts due to inclement weather affecting the playing surface at The Ballpark at Jackson. The Generals (3-5) and Lookouts (4-3) will make up the game by playing a double-header on Sunday, April 14 beginning at 2:05pm CT. Regulation length for both games of the double-header will be seven innings.

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Right-hander Matt Peacock will get his first official start after going five innings last week at Jacksonville and allowing 2 runs in the completion of a suspended game. Chattanooga LHP Scott Moss led the Florida State League with 15 wins last year, but he walked six men in his first start this season with the Lookouts. Game two will feature a pair or relievers getting spot starts, as Bud Jeter goes for Jackson against Chattanooga's Johendí Jiminian. Both men worked previously in this series, with Jeter allowing 4 earned runs in 0.2 IP on Thursday. Jiminian threw 1.2 scoreless IP on Thursday in Chattanooga's victory.

FEAST OR FAMINE BATS: The Generals have proven they have power, but manufacturing runs has been a bigger problem in the season's first week. Every run the Generals have scored in the past 31.1 innings has come via homer.

Generals: Last 40.1 IP - 13 singles, 3 doubles, 4 HR, 7 runs scored

Opponents: Last 40.1 IP - 27 singles, 7 doubles, 3 HR, 18 runs scored

YOUTH MOVEMENT: Last season's championship team had an average age of 25.8 among hitters and 24.8 among pitchers. Both of those averages were the oldest for each unit since the franchise rebranded from the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx after 2010. This year, the Opening Day roster features an average age of 25.8 among pitchers, but the average age for a Generals hitter is only 23.8. 35-year-old manager Blake Lalli will be the youngest Generals manager since 34-year-old Scott Steinmann managed the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in '08 (70-68).
