Hudson Valley Baseball Rankings (5/8)

RANK TEAM REC LW COMMENTS
1 Ketcham 11-3 3

It’s simple math. Ketcham beat John Jay in two out of three meetings last week to take over the No. 1 spot in the rankings.

2 John Jay-EF 9-3 2

Look at the body of work the Patriots have assembled this season – win over North Rockland, Kennedy, Suffern, Arlington and Ketcham. Few teams can stack up.

3 Mamaroneck 12-3 1

The Tigers drop out of the No. 1 spot following Monday’s 8-4 loss at John Jay-EF. They’re still in line for a Top 2 seed in the Class AA playoffs, which means home games until the finals.

4 Briarcliff 11-1 4

Has any team ever played a schedule like this? Not opponents, the venues; the Bears have six games scheduled at minor league stadiums and another in Cooperstown.

5 Marlboro 12-0 6

The Iron Dukes are cruising along and tote a remarkable streak of not allowing more than five runs in any game this season. They should roll to an unbeaten regular season.

6 Mahopac 11-1-1 7

Even with suffering their first loss of the season, the Indians move up in the rankings after falling to Ketcham. Mahopac has a deep lineup that match up with any team in the conference.

7 Fox Lane 8-4 5

The Foxes lost a little bit of their momentum from the Northeast Elite tournament, falling to Rye 6-5 last week. They can reclaim it with a couple of matchups this week against Harrison.

8 North Rockland 11-3 8

The Red Raiders enter a grueling stretch of Rockland County foes, culminating with back to back matchups with rival Suffern to close out the season next week.

9 Suffern 9-4 NR

After a slow start, the Mounties have found their way at the plate in the last few weeks. Jesse Galina and Dominick Kulbaba headline an quickly-improving lineup.

10 Arlington 11-6 NR

The Admirals have won five in a row and head down the stretch as one of the most dangerous teams in Class AA. They get two matchups this week with Ketcham.
