This week’s rainy weather has already affected the Schuylkill League baseball and softball playoffs.

Schuylkill League officials decided at their meeting Wednesday to move the quarterfinal round of both playoff tournaments from Saturday to Monday to give teams fighting for playoff spots time to complete their regular-season games.

Both baseball and softball will follow a Monday-Tuesday-Thursday schedule for next week’s playoffs, with the baseball playoffs being held at Stump Stadium in Pine Grove and the softball playoffs at Blue Mountain’s Patton Field.

Entering games played Wednesday afternoon, Tamaqua, Tri-Valley and Blue Mountain had clinched Division I baseball playoff spots, while Schuylkill Haven has wrapped up the Division II title. The other two playoff berths from Division II and the order of finish in Division I will be determined in games played over the next three days.

In softball, Williams Valley is the Division II champion, with Tri-Valley and Schuylkill Haven having clinched Division II playoff positions entering Wednesday. In Division I, Pine Grove, North Schuylkill, Tamaqua and Blue Mountain were vying for the three spots. By the end of the night, North Schuylkill had clinched the Division I title; Pine Grove wrapped up the No. 2 seed; and Tamaqua clinched the No. 3 seed in the big-school division.

The two division champions in both baseball and softball receive a bye into Tuesday’s semifinals. Here’s a look at the revised playoff schedule for both sports:
