July 14, 2019 - Southern League (SL1)
Jackson Generals News Release
Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, were shut out on Sunday by Mother Nature, as weather related to Tropical Storm Barry forced the cancellation of Jackson's scheduled double-header against the Birmingham Barons. The Generals (53-40) and Barons (41-51) will not make up the cancelled games, as they do not meet again in 2019 and had already ruled out possible contests on Monday and Tuesday due to the storm.
Jackson and Birmingham remain tied in the North Division standings for the Second Half, holding identical 14-9 records after the Southern League's All-Star Break. Entering Sunday, the teams were in a three-way tie with Montgomery for first place. The Generals will close their 2019 season series with Birmingham having won three games in a row against the Barons and 13 of 18 meetings overall.
Jackson will now have three days off before trying to continue their current eight-game winning streak at Montgomery on Thursday at 6:35pm CT. Tickets for the cancelled games can be exchanged at The Ballpark at Jackson box office. Normal ticket exchange policies apply.
