New Hampshire's Top 10 baseball teams entering Week 3 of the NHIAA season:

1. Pinkerton (4-0)

Last week: No. 1

2. Exeter (6-0)

The Blue Hawks have been playing with fire. Exeter trailed entering the final inning in each of its last two victories.

Last week: No. 2

3. Goffstown (6-0)

The Grizzlies haven’t played the toughest schedule thus far, but there’s something to be said for six wins in six tries.

It’ll be no surprise if the Bobcats win it all in Division II.
