The Generals (17-16) and Barons (13-21) will make up the game as part of a double-header during their next series in the First Half, when they meet in Birmingham June 2-6.

Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com.

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. Mobile has not announced a starter officially at press time.

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.

FOUR OR MORE: Through their first 33 games of the year, the Generals have been a successful team more often in high-scoring games than in pitchers' duels. When Jackson scores four or more runs, they've gone 12-1. When they've been held to fewer than four runs, they're just 5-15.
