Baseball – LebCo Power Rankings

Using the rating that is calculated from the District 3 Power Rankings, here is a list in order of how our LebCo Baseball teams stack up when considering their win/loss totals and strength of schedule.

This past week, both Palmyra (18-0) & Northern Lebanon (17-2) wrapped up their respective section championships. As they prepare for the postseason, each holds one of the top spots in District 3.

Besides the Cougars & Vikings, it will take a solid finish for other teams to end up on the right side of the District 3 bubble.

Annville-Cleona has already secured its spot in the LL Playoffs after finishing as the Section 4 runner-up.
