FRANKLIN \u2014 It\u2019s official, the Super 8 is back.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MIAA\u2019s Board of Directors showed significant support for the return of the Division 1A tournaments, as they\u2019re officially named, for baseball and boys\u2019 ice hockey, as well as instituting one for girls\u2019 hockey, approving each by votes of 20-3, Wednesday morning, with very little discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baseball will add an eight-team Division 1A tournament to its five divisions starting in the 2027 spring season, with all six championship games to be held at Polar Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

The eight teams will be determined and seeded by power rankings from across all five divisions. The tournament will open with a best-of-three series, with each team guaranteed one home game. The four winners will play in semifinals at the same date and at one of the same venues as the rest of the divisional semifinals. <\/span><\/p>\n
