MiLB: The Walk-Off Sports Report Southern League Playoff Watch (September 1st, 2018)

As the Southern League approaches the end of the regular season, every team in the league is chasing everything they can get. Montgomery is looking to gain as much momentum as they can before Wednesday but wasn't able to as the Biscuits/BayBears game was postponed to Sunday.

With a victory against Tennessee, The Pensacola Blue Wahoos will play the Biloxi Shuckers starting on Wednesday. It's their second straight trip to the playoffs.

North Division Playoff Picture

While the division-leading Montgomery Biscuits didn't play on Saturday night, the rest of the league had an opportunity to make up some lost ground. The only team that did so though was the Jackson Generals, who defeated the Chattanooga Lookouts. 

Birmingham lost to Biloxi and Tennessee lost to Pensacola basically meaning no teams were able to make up ground, but at this point, it doesn't matter as Montgomery already clinched the second half title.
