MiLB: The Walk-Off Sports Report Southern League Playoff Watch (September 3rd, 2018)

The 2018 Southern League Regular Season has come to a close. On an event filled Monday Afternoon, two teams learned their fate for the 2018 Southern League Playoffs. While other teams were looking to end the season with one final win. Monday was a bittersweet day for six teams as their season came to a close. Here is the final 2018 edition of the Southern League Playoff Watch.

North Division Playoff Picture

As the regular season came to a close, The Tennessee Smokies made the day that could've been something of a big deal for the Blue Wahoos. The Smokies defeated the Blue Wahoos 3-0 ultimately giving the Biloxi Shuckers the second-half championship. 

The Chattanooga Lookouts ended the season with a victory against the Jackson Generals 4-2 but weren't able to pull out of the last place spot earning their first last-place finish since 2013. 

The Birmingham Barons also earned the victory and was able to keep their head above water earning their best finish in the points since 2015. The Mobile BayBears were able to defeat the Montgomery Biscuits putting both of the North Division Championship Contenders in a hole heading into Wednesday's contest.

South Division Playoff Picture

The second-half championship was decided this morning when the Tennesse Smokies defeated the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. Had the Wahoos won and the result of the Biloxi game stayed the same, Pensacola would've clinched the second half but that wasn't what happened. Biloxi still lost but was able to celebrate the clinching the second half. 

The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp lost their final game of the season against the Mississippi Braves, a team who might have made the playoffs had the last few series not gone the way it went.
