It’s on to the Sweet 16 in the 2025 MIAA Baseball Tournament!
11 area teams remain after the tournament’s opening round which saw several big upsets.
Top seeded Taunton saw their bid for a third Division 1 title in four years come to an abrupt end at the hands of 32 seed Winchester.
Elsewhere in Division 1, ninth seeded Weymouth suffered a surprising 2-0 home loss to 24th ranked Leominster.
A magical season came to an end for the Duxbury Dragons, who were one of five South Shore teams in Division 2 to lose at home in the opening round. Canton, Milton, Middleboro, and Hingham also lost to lower seeds.
Division 3 was the only field to see all local teams push through to the Sweet 16, with second seeded Norwell eking out a 4-2 win over 34 Oakmont, and seventh seeded Sandwich and 12 Hanover romping to big opening round wins.
