NEW HAMPSHIRE HARDBALL TOP 10

1. Pinkerton (17-0)
The Astros have secured the only bye awarded for the Division I tournament. They are trying to go wire to wire in the No. 1 spot.
Last week: No. 1

2. Goffstown (14-2)
The Grizzlies are also the No. 2 team in the Division I standings despite being 2-2 in their last four games.
Last week: No. 3

3. Londonderry (13-3)
The Lancers are 7-1 in their last eight outings, and the only loss came against No. 1 Pinkerton (4-2).
Last week: No. 4

4. Trinity (13-3)
Trinity has won eight in a row. If they can hang on to the No. 4 spot in the standings the Pioneers won’t play any of their Division I tournament games on the road.
Last week: No. 5

5. Exeter (13-4)
The top spot in the Division I standings was within reach a week ago, but Exeter will enter Tuesday’s game at Dover on a three-game losing streak.
Last week: No. 2

6. Souhegan (14-1)
The Sabers have three regular season games remaining, all of which are on the road. If they can avoid a loss they will be the No. 1 seed for the Division II tournament.
Last week: No. 7

7. Bedford (11-6)
After a 3-5 start, the Bulldogs have won 8 of nine. Bedford is definitely a team Division I opponents don’t want to face in the tournament’s first round.
Last week: Not ranked

8. Bow (12-2)
Bow is 12-1 since losting to Hollis-Brookline in its Division II opener. The Falcons look like a team that could repeat as the Division II champion.
Last week: No. 8

9. John Stark (13-2)
The Generals have been getting stellar pitching lately (three shutouts in their last five games) and are in good position to earn one of the two byes that will be awarded for the Division II tournament.
Last week: No. 9

10. Hollis-Brookline (11-3)
The Cavaliers edged out Kingswood for the No. 10 spot based on a slightly tougher schedule, and the fact that the Knights are lacking a signature win.
Last week: Not ranked.

Lurking: White Mountains (14-0), Bishop Brady (12-1), Belmont (13-1), Kingswood (10-3), Portsmouth (10-6) and Bishop Guertin (10-6).

NOTE: The New Hampshire Hardball Top 10 will be updated every week throughout the season.
