Teams to start march through postseason

The regular season is wrapping up this week for the larger classes of fastpitch softball with playoffs ready to begin next week.

However, the smaller classes are getting a head start.

That includes baseball. The fall baseball postseason begins Thursday for county teams - and those statewide.

That includes Okarche in Class A and Dover and Lomega in Class B.

The Warriors enter their district ranked No. 1 in Class A.

They have a 23-2 record with their lone losses being to Preston and Dale - the teams ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in Class 2A by a combined three runs.

Okarche also has two wins over Dale this season.

Dover will also host a district and enters the postseason ranked sixth with a 17-6 record.

Lomega travels to second- ranked Calumet for its district.
