1 | John Jay-EF | 12-0 | 1 |
The Patriots have a pair of matchups on the schedule this week with Our Lady of Lourdes. This team is rolling right along as they move in on a second straight title. |
|
2 | Pearl River | 12-0 | 2 |
Sophomore pitcher Mandy McCarthy has been as good as anybody in Section 1 this season. She’s allowed just two earned runs in 50 innings and struck out 61 for the four-time champs. |
|
3 | Tappan Zee | 10-2 | 3 |
Even with a setback to Harrison, the Dutchies hold their No. 3 spot. Harrison is on a run and TZ has recently posted wins over Ursuline and South, so they really can’t drop below. |
|
4 | Ursuline | 11-2 | 5 |
The Koalas are past the grueling stretch of their schedule and should be able to build some momentum — and help their seeding — for the Section 1 Class A tournament. |
|
5 | Clarkstown South | 10-1 | 6 |
South continued its stellar season with wins over North Rockland and White Plains in the last week. The Vikings head upstate this weekend for the Morabito tournament. |
|
6 | Rye Neck | 12-0 | 9 |
Panthers coach Joan Spedafino won her 400 th career game over the weekend in dramatic fashion — a no-hitter by ace Jess Calvini. Things are just going Rye Neck’s way this season. |
| 7 | Marlboro | 10-1 | 7 |
The Dukes knocked off Highland on Monday, 7-1, to continue their tear through Section 9. Emily McDonough went 3 for 4 to push her season average to .659. | |
|
8 | Ketcham | 8-2 | 4 |
The Indians drop down the ranks following a surprising 1-0 loss to Carmel. They’ll have their chance to climb back up as they travel this weekend to Herkimer of the prestigious Morabito tournament. |
|
9 | Pelham | 9-2 | NR |
The Pelicans enter the Top 10 after impressive wins over previously-ranked Eastchester and a streaking Valhalla and Harrison squads. The win over Valhalla came in their final at-bat. |
| 10 | Brewster | 11-2 | NR |
It’s time to give the Bears their due. Their only losses have come to John Jay-East Fishkill and Ketcham, and they will make a serious run at a Top 3 seed in the Class A playoffs. |
