Skyline at 5-7 is currently in sixth-place but plays Horn to end the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Duncanville beat Cedar Hill 12-7 on Tuesday leaving room for some last-minute shakeup. Mesquite has a tough draw against top-ranked Waxahachie on Wednesday and Friday, who have already wrapped the district crown up. Cedar Hill\u2019s playoffs are likely wrapped up win or lose vs Duncanville with a season sweep of Mesquite under their belt and wins over Horn and Skyline on the resume as well.<\/p>\n To make things easy, Skyline has to win both of its games against Horn to secure the spot and hope Waxahachie sweeps Mesquite. Horn\u2019s path is easier, beat Skyline once and hopes Waxahachie sweeps.\u00a0<\/p>\n RELATED: Dallas-area baseball rankings (4\/22): Jesuit rises to season high as Walnut Grove drops out<\/a><\/p>\n District 11-5A<\/p>\n Both Frisco Lebanon Trail and Frisco Liberty are tied at 7-6 but have two different levels of difficulty to make the playoffs.
