The musical chairs never end.

This time, it is Saint Louis that has climbed back into the No. 1 ranking of the Star-Advertiser Baseball Top 10.

The Crusaders (17-1-1, 9-1-1 ILH) battled through the ILH gauntlet and escaped unscathed with a 2-0 win over ‘Iolani, a 2-0 win over previous No. 1 Kamehameha and a key 6-0 win over Maryknoll last week.


Baldwin swept Kamehameha-Maui in a three-game series at Iron Maehara Stadium and vaulted over Kamehameha to land at No. 2. The Bears received one first-place vote.

Mid-Pacific has remained steady. Since opening the season at No. 5, the Owls (13-5, 7-4 iLH) have held down the No. 4 spot for the last four weeks.

Punahou and Waiakea share the No. 5 ranking. Waiakea received one first-place vote.
