In the talented Eastern Conference, it was a battle for the top 8 slots, and after finishing 8th after day 1, there was some work to do.
Abe starting off the morning strong, taking 6 points in his two double headers against Philadelphia and Columbus. He then swept the two game series against Chicago to put himself just one point away form securing a playoff position with four matches to play.
A later draw would secure Orlando City's spot in Saturday playoffs, but the fight was still on for the 7th seed in the conference.
