The brackets have been set for the Alabama Independent School Association’s Final 4 State Baseball tournament to be played at Selma’s Bloch Park beginning May 9-13.

The tournament, which features the remaining four teams from Class A, AA and AAA features some old faces and some new ones.

Morgan Academy, in Class AAA will have an opening round re-match with defending champion Glenwood School.

Their match-up is slated for Friday at 1:30 p.m.

Lowndes, who advanced to the state championship a year ago only to fall to Shelby, will have to wait until round two for a rematch with them. The Rebels match up with Sumter Academy in the first round. First pitch for that game is set for Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m.
