          Who plays where in the GHSA baseball finals is now set.

          Prayers for weather to follow.

          The GHSA announced early Monday afternoon what classifications will play where in next week’s championships.

          Two Central Georgia teams remain, and one will have to travel a few hours and one will play in Macon, if they win.

          Luther Williams Field will host Class AA, which pits Bleckley County against Jeff Davis in a semifinal.

          Tattnall, the top seed in Class A-Public, would head to Savannah for either Savannah Christian or Wesleyan. The Trojans and Savannah Christian have danced in Savannah before, the Raiders winning 5-2 and 5-4 in the 2017 championship series.

          All first-game times are 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., with third games at 4 and 7:30 p.m. a day later.

          The only location to start on Tuesday is at Rome, with 4A next Tuesday and 6A on Wednesday.

Tickets are $13, with an additional $2 surcharge at SunTrust, Coolray, and State Farm.
