Pinkerton is the top baseball team in New Hampshire / Pinkerton Academy logo

Pinkerton Academy was the top team in the New Hampshire preseason top 10 baseball rankings, and that hasn't changed after the season's first week.

The Astros, last year's Division I champions, remained No. 1 after opening the season with victories over Bedford and Nashua North.

Three new teams are in this week's rankings ...

1. Pinkerton (2-0)

The Astros earned victories over Bedford (9-4) and Nashua North (8-4) in Week 1. There’s no reason to move them from the top spot.

Last week: No. 1

2. Exeter (3-0)

So far Exeter’s pitching has been good and its hitting has been good enough.

Last week: No. 2

3. Trinity (3-0)

The Pioneers have scored 27 runs in their three games.

Last week: No. 4

4. Keene (3-0)

The Blackbirds have a challenging week ahead: Manchester Memorial, at Pinkerton and Exeter.

6. Londonderry (2-1)

The Lancers rebounded from a 4-3 loss at Keene by beating a good Portsmouth team Friday.

8. Portsmouth (3-2)

The Clippers have a home date with No. 1 Pinkerton on Friday.

Last week: No. 5
