MiLB: Jackson Generals Secures Second Championship Series Visit in Three Years

The Jackson Generals dominated the Montgomery Biscuits in Game Five of the Southern League North Division Championship Series on Sunday Night. The victory puts the Jackson Generals in the playoffs for the second time in three years and marks the teams' fourth championship appearance since 2000. The Generals, who were previously the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx, have won the Southern League Championship twice since 2000 most recently in 2016.

The Generals road to dominance in Game Five began in the first inning with Kevin Medrano scoring on a triple by Domingo Leyba. Three more runs came in the second inning, two in the third, and five in the seventh putting a total of 11 runs in the victory against Montgomery.

Montgomery attempted a comeback in the second inning when David Rodriguez hit a two-run home run knocking off two on the deficit. Dalton Kelly scored in the sixth to knock off another run. Rodriguez hit another home run in the seventh to knock off another run making it 11-4. Thomas Milone then scored on a single by Lucius Fox. Fox advanced to second after a fielding error by Jackson's left fielder Evan Marzilli. Fox would score after a single by Nick Solak,

As time was ticking very quickly for the Biscuits, Nick Solak reached first on a throwing error by Jackson's shortstop Galli Cribbs scoring Dalton Kelly and knocking off another run of their deficit. That wouldn't be enough as the Generals would catch a pop fly by Sullivan ending the game 11-7.

The Jackson Generals will battle the Biloxi Shuckers in the Southern League Championship Series beginning on Tuesday (September 11th) in Jackson, Tennessee. The two have never faced each other in the Championship Series but in the regular season Biloxi/Jackson, Jackson has four wins and five losses. (Koelle,2018)
