The Atlanta Braves should be proud of their AA brethren, who were taken to the brink in this series by Montgomery.
It came down to the last hitter, but the Atlanta Braves AA team in Mississippi has won the 2021 championship of the old Southern League.
It’s now known by the boring “AA-South” name, but it’s still the old Southern League is its heritage and that means a league dominated by pitching… a skill that was definitely on display in this final game.
The minor league playoffs were shortened this year: regardless of division or finish, the teams with the best record came together in a single, best-of-five series to determine the title.
