Sub-section baseball playoffs

The field is set for the Sub-Section 6A-South baseball playoffs, which begin on Tuesday, May 29.

The B-B-E Jaguars baseball team caught enough breaks with what happened with other top-tier teams in the sub-section while getting the necessary wins of their own to climb to the No. 2 spot just in time for the QRF seeding on Saturday. With a 9-10 overall record, the Jaguars have their sights set on a deep playoff run just as they've done in 2016 and 2017. This year they have every bit of confidence that they can go even deeper. The best playoff finish they've had in school history came in 2016, when they took third place in Section 6A.

This year the Jaguars host St. John's Prep in the sub-section quarterfinals on Tuesday, May 29 with a 5 p.m. start at Saints Field in Elrosa.

If they beat the Johnnies in the first round, they advance to the semifinals that will be played at the Chizek Field park in Morris on Thursday, May 31 with a 2:30 p.m. start. Win or lose, they have a second game to follow at 5 p.m. with an opponent to-be-determined. The remaining playoff dates in Section 6A are June 5, June 7 and June 8.
