Here is the baseball regional preview.

HARPER WOODS vs St. Clair Shores Lake Shore @ Hazel Park

The Pioneers are back into the super regional after dominating their two respective opponents in St. Clair Shores South Lake and Detroit Southeastern by a combined 32-0. The Shorians have been dominant in their district winning it for the first time in 15 years by outscoring Hazel Park, Warren Lincoln, and Center Line by a combined 49-3. The winner will take on either Orchard Lake St. Marys or Dearborn Divine Child in the regional final at St. Clair Community College in Port Huron. This should be a really interesting matchup in Hazel Park.

LAKE ORION vs Port Huron Northern @ Rochester

The Dragons have had ton of bad luck lately but they managed to survive tense dramas against Rochester and Adams winning 2-1 and 7-4 respectably in the districts. Lake Orion will be back at Rochester against Port Huron Northern. The Huskies upset New Baltimore Anchor Bay 3-0 in the district finals winning their first district crown in eight years. The winner will see either Fenton or Davison in the regional final in Grand Blanc. This should be a really interesting matchup.

GROVES vs Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit @ Groves

The Falcons won their district outscoring both Warren Mott and Royal Oak by a combined 16-2. They will be back at home taking on a Cubs team that won their district pretty handily. It will be a really tough matchup for Groves going up against a really good Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit team. The winner will play Grosse Pointe South or Detroit Western in the regional final at Brownstown Woodhaven.

WEST BLOOMFIELD vs Lakeland @ West Bloomfield

The Lakers had no issues winning their district winning over Walled Lake Central in a hard fought 5-4 game and then won 2-0 over Walled Lake Western. They get Lakeland in a really interesting matchup. The Eagles had to survive a pitchers duel winning 1-0 over Waterford Kettering and had no problem with Walled Lake Northern winning 10-0. This should be a really interesting matchup in the Swamp. The winner will take on either defending State Champion Northville or Plymouth in the regional final at Novi.
