1. Latta (6-1)
Last Week - 1

- Another 2-0 week has the defending state champions off to a hot start. Dylan Brewer kept the ball rolling in a 5.0 inning shut out with 10 Ks and Chase Mishue chipped in 2 RBIs last week to help the cause. Latta vs. Johnsonville has quickly become a must see with playoff implications on the line early. 

2. Landrum (9-1)
Last Week - 2

- The Cardinals dropped their first game of the year to Greer Middle College but rebounded with two wins over Chirst Church and St. Joseph. They get Berea and Greer Middle College this week.

Last Week - 3

- The Rams picked up two more wins with a dominate pitching performance from Landon Mills (7.0IP - 15K) in a 1-0 win over Andrew Jackson and a 6-2 win over North Central. They are back in action with three games this week, Central, Cheraw, and Lewisville. 

4. Johnsonville (7-1)
Last Week - 4

- Johnsonville handled their business against a scrappy Andrews team last week to set up a huge region matchup this week with Latta. Brandon Cook & Matthew Bazen lead the Flashes with two quality starts on the mound last week. They will face a much more formidable opponent this week. 

5. Oceanside (6-3)
Last Week - 5

- Last week was a 2-1 week capped by a loss to Gray Collegiate in a high scoring game. Gray Sobel has been swinging a hot bat recently for the LandSharks. OCA kicks off a five game week with Battery Creek. 

6. Abbeville (4-2-1)

8. Hannah Pamplico (7-4)
Last Week - 10

9. Silver Bluff (6-2-1)
Last Week - NR

- The Bulldogs went 2-1 last week with a quality win over Saluda but left a potentially strong win on the table in a loss to Dixie. They will have a big week up next with a tough game against Batesburg Leesville on the horizon. Lane Krisle picked up 3 hits in a 17-4 win over the Academy of Richmond County. 

10. Gray Collegiate (5-3)
Last Week - NR

- The War Eagles are sitting at 5-3 after the first two weeks of the season. They will have Fox Creek and Saluda this week with a chance to boost their stock with a couple of wins. Matt Willis was 3 for 5 with 2 runs and a double in a 14-13 win over Oceanside last weekend.
