JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Sunday's series finale between the Mississippi Braves and Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp has been postponed by rain. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader at a to be determined date in the final series of the season in Jacksonville, Aug. 30-Sept. 2.

Sunday's game was to feature the Double-A debut of Atlanta Braves No. 3 overall prospect Ian Anderson. That debut will now be made at Trustmark Park. The M-Braves close out the road trip with a 4-5 record and will return home to begin a five-game homestand against the Chattanooga Lookouts on Tuesday at 7:00 pm. The M-Braves trail first-place Pensacola by 6.0 games with 21 games remaining in the 2018 regular season.

On Tuesday, fans can exchange a Polk's Meat Products label at the Trustmark Park Box Office for two tickets for the price of one (excluding Suite Level and Club Level seats). All hot dogs and 16 oz. soft drinks will also be two for the price one. The promotion is presented by Polk's Meat Products & WJTV 12 Getting You Answers

The M-Braves have 10 regular season home dates remaining in 2018, with back-to-back fireworks nights, Aug. 17-18 and Aug. 24-25, following those Friday and Saturday home games. Promotions and tickets can be found at www.mississippibraves.com/tickets.

The Mississippi Braves are the Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. Since the inaugural 2005 season, over 125 M-Braves have gone on to Major League Baseball.
