Playoff action continues around the county as baseball brackets are set. In the Section 5A Baseball tournament, Braham was seeded 3rd in the East Subsection. The Bombers (5-8) will host No. 6 Royalton (4-11) in the opener at 2 p.m. Friday, May 24 at Mora. The game had to be moved off the Braham field since it is still soaked from the recent rains.
The winner will advance to take on either No. 2 Rush City (8-5) or No. 7 Isle (4-11) at 7 p.m. May 28 at Pierz. The RC Tigers clipped Braham 8-7 in the May 23 night game which finished the regular season.
