Commerce’s baseball Tigers might have an unusual edge in first round of the playoffs.

The doubleheader playoff games set for Friday against Eagles Landing Christian might prove to be easier than expected. Reports on Tuesday suggested that Eagles Landing might have to forfeit the playoff games after a confirmed case of the H1N1 virus (swine flu) led officials to shut the school down.

While Eagles Landing officials and GHSA work to determine if the games can be played, Commerce is still preparing to host the doubleheader. The first game is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. with the second to follow at 7:00 p.m. If a third game is needed, it will be played Saturday.
