Saint Louis collected eight of nine first-place votes to remain No. 1 in the Star-Advertiser Baseball Top 10 on Monday.

The Crusaders eked out a 5-4 win over ‘Iolani and a 7-6 nail-biter over Punahou to open ILH play 2-0. Saint Louis will be busy this week, with games against Kamehameha, Maryknoll and Damien.

Kamehameha collected one first-place vote from coaches and media. The Warriors (6-0, 2-0 ILH) and Crusaders will battle at Hans L’Orange Park on Tuesday.

Punahou, Mid-Pacific and ‘Iolani round out the Top 5. The MIL’s top teams, Baldwin and Maui, occupy the sixth and seventh spots.

Waiakea (1-0 BIIF) is coming off a 19-4 win over Kealakehe and enters the poll at No. 8. Pearl City, which pummeled Kapolei 15-4, also lands in the rankings at No. 10.
