Despite the recent rain, there might be a little sunshine for the Wiscasset High School boys varsity baseball team.

The Wolverines (5-10) are coming off an 8-7 loss at the hands of the Lisbon Greyhounds on May 28, and were scheduled to play Class B Oak Hill (6-9) June 1. That game was pushed back to June 2, then finally to June 4 because of rain.

But regardless of the Oak Hill game's final score, the Wolverines are likely headed back to the Western Class D playoffs.

Wiscasset currently sits in seventh place of eight playoffs places. At the top is 13-3 Richmond, while 6-7 Forest Hills School takes the eighth and final spot.

Because the Wolverines again played a full Class C schedule, each of their five wins and the 10 losses have counted towards 21.5 Heal points in the Maine Principal Association's tournament index, which determine what teams will make the playoffs.

More Heal points are awarded to teams that play against stronger opponents. Because Wiscasset is classified in baseball and softball as a Class D team, it plays “up” in its schedule, which comprises mainly Class C teams.

The two teams behind the Wolverines — eighth-seeded Forest Hills (13.15 Heal points) and 4-11 North Yarmouth Academy (11 Heal points) — each play one final game June 3.

The first round of baseball playoffs will be June 9 with the quarterfinals coming June 11. Last year, Wiscasset knocked out Valley High School in the first round, then upset Richmond in the second round and toppled Buckfield in the Western Regional Final. The team's streak would end at the state title, however, as Bangor Christian was able to rally for the win.

The Heal Point Tournament Index is less bullish on the softball team's chances.

The Wiscasset High School girls varsity softball team is unlikely to make the playoffs after posting a 1-13 record, which gave the Wolverines 3.32 Heal points with only the Oak Hill game remaining.

To make the playoffs, the girls squad would have to leap-frog eighth-place Temple (1-8 record, 11.21 Heal points) and move 5-8 Forest Hills (21.06 Heal points) out of the seventh and final playoff spot.

Both Wiscasset baseball and softball teams are scheduled to play Oak Hill at 1 p.m. Thursday, June 4.
