JEFFERSONVILLE – After making my softball sectional predictions earlier in the week, here are my picks for this week’s area baseball sectionals.

As I said when I made my prognostications for the softball sectionals, the following picks are for recreational purposes and my best education guesses.

I am doing most of these predications based on paper, as I have not covered more than 90 percent of these teams this season because of my current job situation.

Please do not take these personal.

CLASS 4A BEDFORD NORTH LAWRENCE SECTIONAL

FIRST ROUND

Jeffersonville def. New Albany

Floyd Central def. Seymour

SEMIFINALS

Jeff def. Floyd Central

Bedford North Lawrence def. Jennings County

CHAMPIONSHIP

Jeff def. BNL

Note: If the head coaches tell you that anybody can beat anybody in this sectional, like they usually say every year about this sectional, believe them. I truly believe this sectional is a toss-up this year and most of the games are going to be close and ultra-competitive. These picks are definitely not set in stone.

CLASS 3A SILVER CREEK SECTIONAL

FIRST ROUND

Silver Creek def. Charlestown

Brownstown Central def. North Harrison

Salem def. Corydon Central

SEMIFINALS

Silver Creek def. Scottsburg

Brownstown Central def. Salem
