The high school baseball playoffs are headed to the third round with one huge rematch on deck.
Bishop Snyder swept Bolles and Trinity Christian did the same to Ocala Trinity Catholic in the regional semifinals to set up a district championship rematch in Region 1-2A on May 8. It’s Part II of an epic district title game, won in an 11-10 thriller in 13 innings by Trinity.

The Conquerors used an unreal display of power (six home runs) to sink Trinity Catholic 9-6 to finish off the sweep. Jordan Martinez belted three homers, with Brady Harris, Parker Loew and Chris Reali also going deep.
Snyder swept Bolles 8-5 and 10-0, the capper on a one-hit gem by Cody Boshell. Ilias Mamea homered in that rout. Cole Dennis belted a pair of homers for Snyder in the Game 1 win.
In Region 1-1A, Brayden Harris continued his torrid postseason, blasting a couple homers in Game 2 for an 8-2 win for St. Johns Country Day over University Christian. A night earlier, Harris whiffed 10 and allowed just one unearned run in a 4-2 win.
Union County also sailed into the regional finals with a sweep of Madison County in the Rural class.
In games that weren’t finished due to the weather, Clay is up 1-0 in its series against Escambia in Region 1-4A, and Fernandina Beach and Suwannee are tied 1-all in Region 1-3A.
