The Mississippi Braves have clinched having the best overall record in the Southern League in 2014: a lofty 83-56. But they are missing the Southern League playoffs because they failed to win their division either half. The second half title was snatched away from them by Jacksonville, which won its final 10 games to offset's Mississippi's eight-game win streak that ended earlier this week.
Both teams won today.

Tough break for Mississippi if they don't make the playoffs. They've had a nice season.

Mississippi finished with the best record in the Southern League but still missed the playoffs. Crazy.

Still a good year for them. Would have been nice to make the playoffs, but that's how the first half/second half thing works.

D-Braves to the Appy League finals to meet the winner of tomorrow night's Elizabethton/Johnson City game. That series is tied 1-1 after Johnson City's 10-9 win tonight.
