The Pensacola Blue Wahoos will be competing for the Southern League South Division Championship for the second straight season. Despite being eliminated from winning the South Division second-half Championship after Biloxi's victory against the Birmingham Barons, The Wahoos clinched the South Division Wild-Card Championship.
The Blue Wahoos will face the Biloxi Shuckers beginning on Wednesday, September 5th at MGM Park in Biloxi, Mississippi. The first two games of the series will be at MGM Park in Biloxi while game three will be at Blue Wahoos Stadium on September 7th.
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos battled the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in a three-game series for the South Division title in 2015. They defeated Jacksonville in three games to earn the South Division title and after Hurricane Irma caused the cancellation of the Southern League Championship Series, Pensacola was named co-champions alongside the Chattanooga Lookouts. It was their first SL title since becoming the Wahoos in 2012. The Carolina Mudcats won the title in 2003 which is the team that eventually became the Wahoos.
The Blue Wahoos have been affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds since the teams' inception in 2012. Before last seasons co-championship victory, the Reds had not won an AA championship since 1988 with the Chattanooga Lookouts. (Koelle,2018)
