Championship Series
There’s a quick turnaround for both teams as they get ready to play in the best-of-three championship series. Things get started in the state capital Sunday afternoon with Game 2 and the if necessary Game 3 to be played in the Magic City.
Here’s the complete schedule and a link to tickets for both stadiums:
- Game 1: Barons at Biscuits | Sunday, Sept. 22 | 3:33PM | Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery | Tickets
- Game 2: Biscuits at Barons | Tuesday, Sept. 24 | 7PM | Regions Field in Birmingham | Tickets
- Game 3 (if necessary): Biscuits at Barons | Wednesday, Sept. 25 | 7PM | Regions Field in Birmingham | Tickets
No matter what, the series champion will be decided at Regions Field.

Title drought coming to an end
One of these two teams will be ending their title droughts, which have both passed a decade now.
Birmingham’s last title came in 2013 which was the same year Regions Field opened and it was the last time the Barons made a playoff appearance. That was also the last time a team from Alabama won the Southern League.
Since the league was formed in 1964, Birmingham has won the title seven times, six of them as the Birmingham Barons. However, the franchise has just one title in the last two decades.
Meanwhile, the Biscuits have made nine consecutive postseason appearances but none of those playoff trips ended with a championship. Montgomery’s last title came when they won back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007.
