Fresh off a road trip to Texas during which they won four straight games and seven of eight overall, the Jackson Senators open a six-game homestand on Tuesday night at Smith-Wills Stadium. Game time against Edinburg is at 7:05 p.m. Now, Dr. S wishes the Sens would update their Web site (it’s been almost a week, guys). But never mind the cyber slacking, the Sens are the Central League’s best team right now.

Go, Senators! I can’t wait to go to some Senators games. See y’all at the ballgame. Also, did anyone see the Pearl River Resort blimp over the Mets-Braves game last weekend? There was something so kind of surreal about the Choctaws’ blimp overhead as little kids did that Braves battle-cry thing underneath. Go, Choctaws!

Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
