It's that time of year again!  The 48th Annual IHSAA Baseball State Tournament begins with sectional play tomorrow, Wednesday May 28th ,and will continue through Monday, June 2nd.  A total of 100 teams will compete for the 3A State Title.  

Last year's Champion Norwell will look to repeat as champions, but will have a tough task in front of them with teams like Andrean, Lebanon, Jasper, Hanover Central, South Bend Saint Joe and several others all capable of making a run to the title game.  

Here’s a look at members of the PBR Indiana staff and their Class 3A sectional predictions, in bracket order (Bold Numbers are the Sectional Number, Listed Teams are predicted winners of each game).
