Baseball: Half-dozen teams go for series sweeps in key region matchups

By Jeff Hart Sports Reporter

For the first time in 2025, the entire schedule will consist of region matchups.

There are 13 games on tap involving 19 of our 26 northeast Georgia area teams on Friday. Eight regions in northeast Georgia will have key showdowns as teams beginning jockeying for playoff positioning.

Habersham Central and Jackson County will both go for series' sweeps in Region 8-5A on the road while North Forsyth goes for the series win over North Atlanta at home in Region 6-6A. Gainesville heads back to Milton looking for its first win in Region 7-5A on Friday.

Region 6-3A will continue its early slugfest with all eight teams closing out four crucial series. In Region 8-3A Cherokee Bluff and Jefferson also look for sweeps in their region-opening series as well.
