JACKSON, Tenn.- Hak-Ju Lee extended his on-base streak to 37 games, tying a franchise record while Kyle Lobstein (6-5) dominated in a 4-3 Biscuits (56-44/20-12) win over the Jackson Generals (59-42/17-14) Wednesday afternoon at Pringles Park.

Lee doubled down the line to left in the third inning to reach base safely for the 37th-consecutive game tying a Biscuits record set by Evan Longoria in 2007. Lee finished the day 1-for-3 with two walks. The last time Lee did not reach base safely was June 11th.

Lobstein had his best control of the season, throwing 27 strikes out of 34 pitches through the first three innings. The lefty allowed two runs through seven innings while striking out six and only walking one for the win.

The Biscuits struck first with a two-run single from Ty Morrison in the third inning to make it 2-0 Biscuits. Omar Luna would add an RBI-single as a part of a two-run inning in the fifth to push the Biscuits out in front 4-0.

The Generals scored single runs in the fifth, seventh and eighth innings, but Kirby Yates (11) pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up his 11th save of the season.

Biscuits outfielder, Mikie Mahtook, went 2-for-4 with two doubles in his first Double-A start.

The middle-game of the series will be Thursday at 7:05. RHP Jake Thompson will head to the mound for Montgomery, while RHP Taijuan Walker will counter for Jackson.
