One of these days, high school baseball teams will be back on the field, but the early part of this week is not it. Games have been rained out on April 2 and 3, but there is hope for the schedule later this week.
Aside from the weather, the Easter break has resulted in a break in the schedule for most high school teams. Things pick up a bit later in the week, but these two factors will result in a busy remainder of April and month of May for these squads.
Don’t forget to confirm dates and times before making the trip. Schedules are always subject to change.
