As we approach the upcoming week, many teams looked to gain some momentum while others are beginning to pray that the first half champion steals the second half to earn a berth in the playoffs via the Wild-Card. As we approach the final full week of the regular season, things will come to a boiling point.
The North Division Playoff Picture
Montgomery downed the Tennessee Smokies again on Sunday with a score of 3-1. A team that was in good position to be in contention for the second-half championship last week is now eliminated becoming the second team to be eliminated in the north division.
Birmingham secured the victory against the Jackson Generals in an important victory that could keep them in contention but they'll need some help.
Chattanooga took it to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on Sunday afternoon after losing to the Jumbo Shrimp during the ninth inning of Saturday's game.
Montgomery's magic number to clinch the second half is now 3.
