Baseball Roundup: Houston County wins another region championship, Perry and Warner Robins fighting for last playoff spot

The last week of the regular season is here and there are still teams looking to make things shake in their regions.

Here’s a roundup of last week’s baseball:

Houston County

Houston County (20-6, 12-3 Region 2-5A) finished out region play with a series win against Lee County to secure their sixth region championship in seven years.

Though not as dominant as teams past, the Bears have found a way to win with young faces in 2026.

After their Game 1 win they gave up crooked numbers in four innings of Game 2 in a 10-7 loss. But HoCo followed that up with a dominating 13-1 final, where they were 12-for-27 (.444) at the plate and held the Trojans to 2-for-16 (.125).

The Bears finish the regular season against Harlem (April 13 away, April 15 at home) and Jones County (April 17 at home).

Northside

Northside (11-15, 2-13 Region 2-5A) might not be able to get into the postseason this year, but they can win the most regular season games since 2012 with a victory this week.

Last week the Eagles were swept by Thomas County Central 13-0, 7-0 and 5-1 to end region play.

This week they have four games: A doubleheader against Westside on April 13 and two more home games on April 14 against Howard and April 15 against Hawkinsville.

Perry

With last week’s sweep against New Hampstead, Perry (10-14, 5-7 Region 1-4A) can lock in their playoff spot with one win against Warner Robins this week.

The Panthers didn’t struggle at all with the Phoenix, who were outscored 47-3 in last week’s series.

Perry will host Warner Robins on April 13 before heading up the road for the doubleheader on April 16. They also have their final non-region game on April 15 against Peach County.

Veterans

Veterans (12-13, 6-9 Region 2-5A) held on to their playoff spot last week with some help from Houston County.

It was a long shot, but if Lee County swept the Bears that would’ve put them above the Warhawks, who held the series tiebreaker against the Trojans.

Last week’s region series was (narrowly) a sweep in favor of Coffee, who stole Game 2 with two runs in the seventh for a 4-3 final. Veterans lost the other games 5-2 and 5-3.

This week they host Tift County on April 14 and travel to Tifton on April 17 for a doubleheader.

Warner Robins

Warner Robins (8-14, 2-10 Region 1-4A) has lost seven straight after last week, and they need a sweep in their region finale against Perry to earn a playoff spot.

Last week the Demons were outscored 35-2 in three games against Wayne County.

This week they need to win all three games against the Panthers, starting on April 13 on the road before the home doubleheader on April 16.

Westfield

Westfield (11-10, 3-6 GIAA District 5-4A/3A) nearly won the series opener last week against Brookstone, but ultimately fell and were swept.

The two teams traded blows early in Game 1, but the Cougars scored the go-ahead run in the sixth. The last two games were both 14-4 finals in favor of Brookstone who remains unbeaten in the district.

This week the Hornets play Strong Rock Christian, the second-place team in the district, on April 14 away and at home for the April 16 doubleheader.
