Reedsport clinched a spot in the Class 2A-1A baseball playoffs by winning the District 4 title with three victories last week.
The Brave improved to 13-0 in league play by beating Myrtle Point 2-0, Waldport 17-0 and Gold Beach 14-2. Reedsport hosts Toledo on Tuesday to finish the league season and then will wait to learn its opponent in the first round of the playoffs.
Bandon is second in the standings at 9-3 despite a 6-1 loss to Toledo last week. The Tigers beat Waldport 4-2 and shut out Myrtle Point 5-0 and will secure second place with wins in either of their last two league games, at home against Gold Beach on Monday (results were not available) or Siletz Valley on Tuesday. Bandon also hosts Brookings-Harbor in a nonleague game Thursday.
The league gets three automatic playoff spots and three other teams still are in the running for that third spot.
Toledo is 8-5 after shutting out Siletz Valley 10-0, but has the difficult game at Reedsport still to go.
