Jackson Generals News Release


JACKSON, Tenn. - Montgomery's (24-31) offense exploded and stopped the Generals (26-26) four-game winning streak taking game five of the series, 8-2.

The Biscuits added three more runs in the fifth that started with back-to-back walks. After advancing into scoring position with the double steal, O'Malley and Mahtook sprinted home thanks to a deep double to center by Casali. Kyeong Kang's triple plated the final run of the inning. A total of three runs crossed in the fifth, making the score 6-1.
