Southern League First Half Leaders

The first half of the Southern League season ended with the Chattanooga Lookouts winning the North Division and the Pensacola Blue Wahoos winning the South.  Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Cindy put a damper on the All Star as it was cancelled due to the effects of the storm.

On Thursday, all 10 teams regroup looking to join both the Lookouts and Blue Wahoos in the League playoffs at the end of the season.  Before the second half gets started, lets take a look at the first half leaders below.
