The MIAA baseball regular season is winding down, and with less than two full weeks of action left, 25 South Shore clubs have already locked in postseason positions, creating a crowded race for the final seeds.
Streaks and Surprises
Rockland has been resilient, dropping only two games all season — one to East Bridgewater and another to Norwell — while Duxbury has turned a modest start into a six‑win stretch over its last seven outings.
East Bridgewater enters the final stretch with the same roster that advanced to the Div. 4 Round of 16 a year ago, giving it continuity that could prove decisive as the playoffs loom.
Hanover’s Will Davidson has provided a power boost, launching multiple home runs that have helped the team climb the rankings.
Plymouth North continues its tradition of longevity, marking its 34th straight season in the MIAA playoffs, even as Braintree’s star shortstop Peter Brooks battles yet another injury.
Norwell, after an 0‑2 start, has now strung together 11 consecutive victories, while Milton’s recent burst of double‑digit runs has added firepower to its lineup.
Middleboro showcases a .297 team batting average and a 2.03 team ERA, reflecting a balanced performance, whereas BC High holds the state’s highest MIAA power rating at 7.0962.
