Jamie Westbrook and Rudy Flores homered for the Jackson Generals in Sunday’s 8-1 win over Mississippi at Trustmark Park.

The Generals (17-6) evened their series 2-2 with the Mississippi Braves (10-14).

Only two hits came the Generals’ way in the first three innings, but Westbrook lit into an offering in the fourth from Wes Parsons (0-2, 2.20 ERA) to break a scoreless tie. Westbrook’s third jack of the year began a three-run inning for the Generals that featured three hits, a walk, an error, and a sacrifice fly. The Generals ultimately finished with 11 hits, and Flores’ two-run bomb in the seventh inning proved to be the dagger, stretching the lead from 4-1 to 6-1. Juniel Querecuto went 4-for-5, narrowly missing a five-hit day with a pop-out to second base in the ninth inning.

From the rubber, starter Taylor Widener collected six strikeouts and allowed only one hit, but he walked a season-high four batters and could not complete the fifth inning. Widener’s final free pass came with the bases loaded, providing Mississippi their only run. Kirby Bellow (1-0, 1.17 ERA) came on in relief, inducing an infield pop-up to escape further harm. After that, Joel Payamps and Yoan Lopez each worked a pair of run-free frames, racking up eight strikeouts in combination.
