MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Biscuits (29-17) were shutout for just the second time this season, dropping game two of their series against the Jackson Generals (25-20), 5-0, on Thursday night at Riverwalk stadium.
Riley O'Brien (2-2) made his fourth start of the year for the Butter and Blue, and while he worked a scoreless first, the righty ran into trouble in the second, walking Jeffrey Baez with the base loaded after a questionable check swing call on a 2-2 pitch that didn't go the Biscuits way. The base loaded walked   was followed up by a two-run single to center field by Daulton Varsho to put Jackson ahead, 3-0.
The Generals would add to their lead in the top of the fourth with a solo homer to right field off the bat of left fielder Ryan Grotjohn, making it 4-0.
The Generals got a fantastic start from their left-hander Bryan Valdez (1-1) who went seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits, one walk, and three strikeouts. Then Robby Scott worked a scoreless eighth before Damien Magnifico recorded the last three outs for the Generals.
Jackson would add their fifth and final run in the sixth on a towering solo homer from the catcher Daulton Varsho.
The Biscuits will try to rebound on Friday night at Riverwalk Stadium when Sam McWilliams (3-1) takes on Riley Smith (3-3) at 6:35 PM CT when it will be Ladies Night presented by At Home and MAX Fireworks.
The series will also feature Ladies Night presented by At Home and MAX Fireworks on Friday, May 24; Greenbow Night featuring a Bobblehead Giveaway presented by Capital Trailways and MAX Fireworks on Saturday, May 25; and Lil' Crumbs Dress Like a Player Snellzilla Pillow Giveaway on Sunday, May 26.
