Another night, another team eliminated from playoff contention. The Chattanooga Lookouts defeated the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp but it wasn't enough to keep the Lookouts in contention as the Montgomery Biscuits defeated the Tennessee Smokies eliminating the Lookouts.
Biloxi's six-game winning streak came to an end but other than the Chattanooga Lookouts, the eight remaining teams are still eligible to win the second half. As games click away, more teams will be eliminated which will build more intensity.
