On Monday, the Super 8 selection committee nominated and voted for the eight teams who will participate in the bracket officially known as Division 1A.

As a result, the Warriors will take on Bridgewater-Raynham in the first round of the winners bracket. First pitch is scheduled for Wednesday at 4 p.m., a road game for the locals.
The winner of that contest takes on either St. John's Prep, a No. 2 seed, or Lowell, the bracket's No. 7 seed. The loser of the Lincoln-Sudbury versus Bridgewater-Raynham game will play the loser of the St. John's Prep-Lowell contest in the single elimination losers bracket.
