Marietta Looking to Improve Playoff Seeding

The high school baseball season has been going on for over 10 weeks now, but for most teams it ends Friday.

Marietta will be hosting the game of the day in the Marietta Patch. The Blue Devils will be shooting to improve their seeding in next week's state tournament.

If Marietta – currently fourth in Region 5-AAAAA with an 5-6 record – can get past Wheeler on Friday at Wheeler, then the Blue Devils – pending tiebreakers – could earn the three seed heading in to postseason play.

However, should Marietta slip up in their regular season finale, they'll find themselves with the four seed heading into the playoffs next week.

Here's the rest of the high school sports schedule for Friday:

Baseball

at Wheeler 5:55 p.m.

at Villa Rica 5:55 p.m.

Girls Track

Osborne will compete in the girls Region 5-AAAA track meet at North Paulding High School, 9 a.m.

Marietta will compete in the Region 5-AAAAA Track and Field Championships at Woodstock High School, 2 p.m.

Thursday's Scoreboard

2, Savannah Christian 1 (Penalty Kicks 5-4)
