Another busy day on the diamond to end the week. And several regions will stage some hugely important showdowns. In all, there are 15 games on tap, including four doubleheaders.
The key matchup will have Cherokee Bluff in Region 8-3A trying to clinch the region title with a sweep of West Hall. Meanwhile, North Hall (6-3A) and Banks County (8-A D1) both sit tied atop their regions and need wins to keep pace.
North Forsyth in Region 6-6A is fighting to stay alive in the playoff race, while East Forsyth and Flowery Branch in Region 8-4A are locked in tight duels for playoff spots as well.
