NEW HAMPSHIRE HARDBALL
GREAT 8

1. Bishop Guertin (10-0)
BG enters the week as the only unbeaten team in Division I.

2. Concord (9-1)
The Crimson Tide suffered its first loss Friday against Keene (2-1) and will start a tough four-game stretch Tuesday: Pinkerton, at Memorial, at Londonderry and at Bishop Guertin.

3. Londonderry (8-2)
The Lancers were knocked out of the No. 1 spot following losses to Bishop Guertin and Nashua North, but they have quality wins against Exeter, Pinkerton and Keene.

4. Exeter (8-2)
The Blue Hawks have shut out four opponents and have allowed 10 runs in their six wins.

5. Portsmouth (6-2)
Pitching is still a question mark with the Clippers, who have allowed at least seven runs in five of their eight games.

6. John Stark (6-0)
The Generals are one of two undefeated teams in Division II, and make their first appearance in the Great 8.

7. Bow (6-0)
Bow is the other unbeaten in Division II. The Falcons knocked Hollis/Brookline out of the Great 8 with a 2-0 victory over the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

8. Pinkerton (6-3)
The Astros start a four-games-in-four-days stretch on Tuesday.

ON DECK: Hollis/Brookline (6-1), ConVal (6-1), Laconia (7-1), Belmont (6-1), Hopkinton (6-1), Gilford (6-1), Pittsfield (10-0), Woodsville (8-0) and Newmarket (5-0).
