The Smokies clinched a playoff berth when Rocket City beat Montgomery 8-6 to eliminate Birmingham from winning the second half. The Cubs will either qualify as the second-half champions or, more likely, as the team with the second-best overall record in the division after Rocket City wins both halves.
