Another good night at the office for starting pitcher Paul Clemens added up to a victory for the Mississippi Braves.

Clemens recorded his third consecutive victory as the M-Braves downed the Generals (17-14) 4-1.

After a four-hit, eight-inning outing at Chattanooga last week, Clemens (3-0) pitched another four-hit, eight-inning gem. He limited Jackson to just one earned run while striking out three.

Clemens has allowed just one earned run in all but two of his seven starts this season and has allowed only two earned runs in his last 18 innings of work.

Benino Pruneda came in to work a perfect ninth and notched his first save of the season.

The scoring started in the first inning. A couple walks and a single loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the first to set up an Ernesto Mejia sacrifice fly to left field, giving the M-Braves a 1-0 lead.

With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the second, shortstop Tyler Pastornicky delivered a two-run single to make it a 3-0 game.

Jeff Fiorentino doubled with one out in the fifth for the M-Braves (13-20). Mejia then drove in his second run of the night with a single to left field to plate Fiorentino and extend the M-Braves’ lead to 4-0.

The Generals got on the board in the seventh when Luis Jimenez led off with a triple and came in to score on a Johermyn Chavez groundout to close the scoring.

Jackson starter Kenn Kasparek (4-2) left the game with an undisclosed injury in the bottom of the second and took the loss. He allowed three earned runs on two hits while walking three in 11⁄3 innings of work.

M-Braves’ right-hander J.J. Hoover (0-2, 2.34 ERA) gets the start against Jackson left-hander Anthony Vasquez (2-2, 3.44) in the fourth game of a five-game series against the Generals tonight.

First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. at Trustmark Park.
