Greenville 8, Aiken 1

Aiken High lost its Class AAAA playoff opener Monday at sixth-ranked Greenville, meaning the Hornets will need to win Wednesday at home against York to extend their season.

The Hornets were initially scheduled to face Greenwood on Monday, but the Class AAAA bracket was altered hours before first pitch after Airport was removed from the postseason for using a player found to be ineligible. As such, the Hornets moved up from the No. 4 seed to the No. 3 from Region 4-AAAA.

Additionally, South Aiken moved up from No. 3 to No. 2 in the region and hosted Easley on Tuesday night. Also, Midland Valley was a late addition to the playoff field, taking over the No. 4 seed from the region that Aiken previously occupied. The Mustangs visited Greenwood on Tuesday night.
