CIF-SS Baseball Playoff Schedules, 55 Players to Watch

The CIF-Southern Section baseball playoff brackets were released Monday morning and 12 local teams were among the teams spread across the matchups.

The Division 4 bracket is packed with local teams, including Mojave River League champion Oak Hills and Sultana. Both teams are ranked in the top 10 in the latest CIF-SS Coaches Poll. Oak Hills enters the playoffs at No. 5 after going undefeated in MRL play, while Sultana is at No. 10 after two wins over Apple last week Valley and secured second place in the overall ranking.

Oak Hills begins the playoffs with a home game against Barstow, giving us the only all-local matchup in baseball or softball.

Sultana will also start the first round at home and will be looking to make another good playoff run after reaching the Division 4 semi-finals last season. Apple Valley, also in Division 4, made it to the Division 5 title game last season.

Hesperia Christian also plays in Division 4 after reaching the Division 7 title game last season.
