It was not a good week for the favorites in district baseball playoff across the state.

Top seeds fell left and right in the biggest turnover week in the Trib HSSN state baseball rankings this season.

Ten of the top 30 teams across the Commonwealth lost out on the chance for district gold, and some of them won’t even qualify for the PIAA postseason after being one of the top teams in the state for most of the regular season.

Half of the six top-ranked teams also fell all the way out of the Top 5.

East Pennsboro in 4A, Mercyhurst Prep in 3A and Dock Mennonite in 2A are the three survivors that remain on top of their respective classifications.

They are now joined by Hazleton (6A), Franklin Regional (5) and Delco Christian (A) as the new No. 1 teams, one full week before the start of the PIAA baseball playoffs.
