LAST GAME: The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, made the ninth inning interesting on Thursday before ultimately falling to Birmingham, 5-2. The Barons (13-21) claimed their second victory in the series at The Ballpark at Jackson, forcing a rubber game on Friday night against the Generals (17-16).

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Generals right-hander Kevin McCanna debuted at Double-A last Sunday against Tennessee, firing five shutout frames to take the series finale from the Smokies. McCanna is a former Rice University teammate of Jackson Generals alum Jon Duplantier and won Midseason All-Star honors last year at High-A Visalia. After being scratched from his start on Tuesday, Birmingham's Jimmy Lambert will pitch today after back-to-back quality starts in his last two outings. Lambert has allowed 5 home runs, the second-highest mark in the league.

LEFT SIDE [OF THE INFIELD], STRONG SIDE: Over his past ten games, Generals third baseman Drew Ellis is batting .323 with 5 walks, 7 runs scored, a homer, and 3 RBI. Meanwhile, Jazz Chisholm has been strong at shortstop, batting .318 with 8 runs, 5 homers, and 8 RBI. The strongest efforts from those two guys have come when they've batted near the bottom of the order: Ellis has batted .538 when hitting eighth in the order, and Chisholm has homered five times when batting sixth in the order.
