NHIAA Division II
Hanover
The Bears, who finished the season 0-16, will not be making an appearance in the postseason. The closest Hanover came to winning a contest was against Laconia, John Stark, and Hollis-Brookline earlier this month, losing by 12 runs in each game.
Lebanon
The Raiders, who are in fifth place at 10-5, are locked into the playoffs with one game remaining, as 13 teams make the tournament in D-II.
Lebanon, which started 8-2, has hit a rough patch of late, losing three of its last five. However, the Raiders have a chance to go into the playoffs on a high note as they close the season Friday at home against Hollis-Brookline.
The NHIAA Division II playoffs are scheduled to begin Wednesday.
NHIAA Division III
Mascoma
The Royals will miss the playoffs after a winless 0-17 season. The closest they came to picking up a win was against Newfound earlier this month when they fell 7-6.
Stevens
The Cardinals are clinging to a playoff spot, with 14 teams making the tournament, and they sit in 14th with a 6-9 record. Stevens, which is currently on a three-game losing streak, will look to snap that when it closes the season at Newfound on Friday.
The NHIAA Division III playoffs are slated to start Wednesday.
VPA Division II
Hartford
The Canes will be a team to look out for in the postseason at 11-2 and second in the division. Hartford has won six of their last seven games and three in a row and is staying hot headed into the playoffs.
They close the season Friday, hosting Bellows Falls.
According to the VPA’s website, up to 16 teams can enter the postseason tournament, locking in the Canes for the playoffs. The first round of the VPA Division II playoffs is set for Sunday.
VPA Division III
Oxbow
While the Olympians’ 68-game winning streak was snapped this season, it does not seem to have impacted them as they head into their final game of the season at Harwood on Saturday, first in the division at 10-2.
The defending champions are on a three-game winning streak and will look to carry it into the playoffs.
Thetford
The Panthers are 3-10 and in eighth heading into their final game of the regular season on Saturday at North Country Union. Having lost five of its last six, Thetford will look to pick up some momentum headed into the postseason.
White River Valley
The Wildcats are in seventh at 4-9 and close their season on Friday at Woodstock. Mid-season, White River Valley seemed to find its stride, winning three of five during a stretch, but has faltered as of late, dropping three in a row.
Woodstock
At 2-9 and 10th in the division, the Wasps finish the regular season on Friday, hosting White River Valley. After winning its season opener, Woodstock dropped six straight games. As of late, the Wasps have dropped three of their last four and are on a three-game losing streak.
Since up to 16 teams can enter the postseason, per the VPA’s website, none of the abovementioned teams are in danger of missing the playoffs.
The first round of the VPA Division III playoffs is set for Sunday.
VPA Division IV
Windsor
The Yellow Jackets dropped to Division IV this season and have found success, ranking fifth in the standings at 8-3 with two games to play — at home against Leland & Gray on Friday and at Mill River on Saturday.
Windsor seems to be catching fire at the right time, though it lost its latest game, it has won six of its last seven contests.
The first round of the VPA Division IV playoffs is set for Sunday.
