No doubt for the red-hot Saint Louis Crusaders.
The hottest team in prep baseball closed the regular season with a 14-1 rout of Mid-Pacific to finish 12-1-1 in the ILH. Saint Louis retained its No. 1 ranking in Monday’s Star-Advertiser Baseball Top 10, riding a 10-game win streak.
No. 2 Baldwin and No. 5 Waiakea also collected first-place votes. Baldwin is 9-0 in Maui Interscholastic League play (11-2 overall). Waiakea is 5-0 in Big Island Interscholastic Federation action.
Kalani returned to the rankings at No. 10 after wins over Farrington and Kailua. The Falcons replaced Pearl City, which dropped out after a close loss to Mililani.
