Jacksonville wins on a bottom 7 walkoff single, 1-0, sweeping the DH vs Mobile. Pressure is on now for @Mbraves, trailing by a half-game
— Kyle Tait (@MBravesRadio) August 31, 2014
Amazingly, because of halves format, the @Mbraves could finish with best overall record in the Southern League and not make the playoffs

Also a belated congrats from all of us at TC to Kyle for being named the Southern League Broadcaster of the Year!
