Baseball, softball district tournaments begin
With this year’s early end to the tennis and track and field seasons, there are only two high school sports still to complete their seasons: baseball and softball. Postseason play begins in both sports today with the start of district tournaments.
The winner and runner-up from each district will advance to regional tournaments next week. Danville hosts the 12th Region baseball tournament, while Boyle County will host the 12th Region softball tournament at Millennium Park. Both regionals begin on Memorial Day.
