Other Southern News, Orlando beat Jacksonville in a one game playoff for
second half title 5-4 Tuesday and then beat Knoxville 9-2 for the East

Friday's game at Chattanooga may be the last in
Engel as home to the Lookouts, IF West Tenn continues to win.

Former Diamond Jaxx Brian McNicol lost the second game
of the Cubs doubleheader with the Reds. Other former Jaxxs Chad Meyers,
Rosie Brown, and Jose Nieves. all went hitless.

I really never understood the playoff formula with
all the tie breaker playoff games Huntsville/West Tenn first half and
Jaxsonville/Orlando second half. I had this picture there were tiebreaker
rules, but the playoffs game life to the races.

Total first and second half

East
Total
Suns 75-66
Smokeys 71-69
Rays 70-68
Mudcats 60-78
Braves 58-80

West

D'Jaxxs 84-57
L'outs 78-62
Barons 73-67
BayBears 66-73
Stars 64-77

The Barons got left out in the cold with a record
better than Knox or Orlando. The west is the stronger of the two
divisions. Huntsville had the bottom fall out after tieing the
first half with 38 wins they proceeded to only win 28 games in the
second half.
