It’s a wrap.

The high school baseball season has come to a close with the district playoffs beginning as early as Monday.

For many schools in South Florida, the final few games were an opportunity to get some bench players time on the field. In other cases, the last week was to tune up for the upcoming playoffs.

Whatever the motives, the season ended with a  flurry of activity.
