The winner of the Bulldogs and Panthers will play Jeffersonville, and the winner of the Owls and Stars will play Floyd Central in the semifinals. All games are held at BNL.
Seymour has yet to meet BNL this year but will next week on Tuesday at home.
In Class 2A, Brownstown Central is hosting its own sectional. The Braves drew Brown County in the first round in game three. The Braves do not play the Eagles in the regular season.
Southwestern (Hanover) vs. Milan is game one, and Switzerland County vs. Hauser is game two. South Ripley will play the winner of game one, and the other semifinal will be between the winners of games two and three.
Lastly, in Class A, Rising Sun is hosting the sectional. The Shiners will play New Washington in the first game, and the winner will take on Crothersville. The Tigers will not meet the Shiners in the regular season but will play New Washington on May 11.

For baseball, New Albany is hosting the 4A sectional, where Seymour drew Jeffersonville in game four. The first game is between Floyd Central and Bedford, and the second game is between New Albany and Jennings County.
The winner of games one and two will meet in the semifinal, and the winner between the Owls and Red Devils will advance to the championship. Seymour and Jeff met earlier this season on April 13, and the Red Devils were victorious 13-1.
