Main St., LaGrange For the record: Rocky River staved off Clearview, 10-6, in a sectional semifinal to earn the right for a showdown with four-time defending district champion Keystone . ...

The Wildcats are 27-0, the No. 1 in Division II and have given up 13 runs all season . ... Keystone is on a mission, and Rocky River is the first step. Behm’s pick: Keystone

No. 8 Vermilion at No. 2 Bellevue

What: Division II Milan District sectional final When: 5p.m., May 11 Where: Bellevue High School, 200Oakland Ave., Bellevue For the record: When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Vermilion obliterate­d Lexington in a sectional semifinal, 21-1, to advance to this round. The Sailors put everything together in the game and showed how dangerous they can be when everything is clicking. Unfortunat­ely, Bellevue is much stiffer competitio­n for Vermilion . ... The 2018Sandus­ky Bay Conference Lake Division champion Redmen have steamrolle­d their competitio­n for much of this season to a 14-5 overall record . ... Bellevue has at times lacked on defense, so this one could very easily become a high-scoring affair. ... It will take a nearly perfect game for the Sailors to move on once again, but Vermilion proved it can rise to the occasion. Behm’s pick: Bellevue Behm’s record: 17-2
