The GHSA baseball playoffs start Wednesday, April 23, with teams battling it out in double headers in a best of three format, with a game three — if needed — set to be played the next day.

There are also series set to begin on Friday in the Class A-3A Private classification.

The top teams from the Savannah area include Effingham County, the Region 1-5A champion entering the playoffs with a 25-5 record. The Rebels are set to host East Paulding (17-14) on Wednesday, April 23, with the first game starting at 4:30 p.m.

In Class A-3A Private, the seedings are based on GHSA Power Rankings. Calvary Day, which reached the Class 3A finals last year, is ranked at No. 4 and the Cavaliers (19-7) are set to host Mt. Pisgah (3-20) on Friday, but the games won't be at Grayson Stadium. Calvary will play at Islands High with the first game starting at 4 p.m.

Savannah Christian enters the playoffs at No. 7 in the Power Rankings, and the Raiders will host St. Francis on Friday at a time to be announced.
