    Minors Report 902: M-Braves need help for playoffs; regular season ending

    Entering Sunday night's game against the Jacksonville Suns, the Mississippi Braves seemed poised to clinch a wildcard spot with a victory and a Mobile BayBears win over Pensacola. But both dominoes remained standing and so did the Suns' playoff hopes as the Braves fell 3-0 at Bragan Field.

    Now only a Mississippi win in Monday's season finale and a BayBears win over the Blue Wahoos will clinch the final playoff spot for the Braves.

    It was a great start to the night for Gus Schlosser, who retired the first 11 batters he faced before walking Austin Barnes with two away in the fourth. A batter later, Mark Canha doubled down the left field line, scoring Barnes from first and giving the Suns the only run they would need.

    The Braves (39-31; 75-63) were stifled all night by Bryan Evans, who took revenge for a loss suffered on Mother's Day at Trustmark Park in which he gave up seven runs on 10 hits in a 9-3 Braves win. Evans threw 7 2/3 shutout innings, allowing just six hits with seven strikeouts and no walks.

    Now the Braves look to keep their playoff hopes alive in Monday afternoon's season finale, with first pitch slated for 12:05 PM CT from Jacksonville's Bragan Field. Mississippi goes with right-hander Mitch Atkins (5-2, 3.25) in the must-win game, squaring off with left-hander Justin Nicolino (3-2, 4.32).

    Man, Mississippi Braves just blew a great shot to score in tenth inning. They had two runners on before La Stella struck out and then Salcedo flew out to end the threat. It's still tied 5-5 going to bottom half, winner makes the playoffs and loser goes home.
