Combine a 7-0 Toombs County home victory over Swainsboro with Benedictine’s 11-2 win over Metter and the Bulldogs could be one win away from making the GHSA State Playoffs. If the Dawgs beat Swainsboro on Thursday in Swainsboro and Benedictine takes care of Metter on the same day at Metter than Toombs County goes to the post season with a 7-7 region record. If not and the two teams finish in a tie than the tie-breaker is run differential in the region. TCHS is -3 and Metter -18.
