Updated baseball and softball region standings through April 16

Rain washed out many of the area’s most anticipated baseball and softball games in the past three days.

Others that were able to be played - delayed or not - shifted region standings and those hoping to lock up playoff berths.

So far, area baseball programs Socastee, Myrtle Beach, Waccamaw, Loris and Aynor have already secured postseason bids. Softball teams Georgetown, North Myrtle Beach and Aynor can also start planning on playing two weeks from now when the playoffs begin.

Several others can join the fold beginning Friday. Some area teams have as many as five region games remaining, so more change should be expected prior to the final regular-season games on April 24.
