Asbury Park Press Top 10 baseball poll for June 2

June 02 Poll through Thursday games. Friday results have no bearing on this poll.




Records through Thursday games

1. CBA (22-4) - last week No 1. Has gone 17-0 vs. Shore Conf. teams since that losing spell vs. Manalapan and Howell. Nothing against the Braves and the Rebels - but did that really happen?

2. Wall (21-7) - last week No. 2. Class B North champs saved their ranking with Thursday's MCT win over Ocean giving them 2-2 season split with the Spartans.

3. Ocean (23-5) - last week No. 3. Still alive in the NJSIAAs and SCT. But is Norman available? will pitching hold up?

4. Colts Neck (20-7) - last week No. 5. Blanked last week's No. 4 TR North in the SCT. Plays Ocean Saturday in the SCT.

5. Toms River North (24-5) - last week No. 4. Plays Friday for SJ IV championship.


6. SJ Vianney (19-7) - last week No. 7. Gave CBA a run for the money in states and now gets another shot at the Colts Saturday in the SCT. Could scramble the poll in major fashion with a victory.

7. Jackson (20-8) - Last week No. 6. Took the regular season measure of TR East and TR South in Class A South.

8. TR East (20-7) - Last week No. 8. Season over for Ocean County champs.

9. Toms River South (21-8) - Last week. No. 9. Season over. Fell to Jackson in the SCT and bowed out of SJ IV at the hands of TR North.

10. St. Rose (19-4) - Last week No. 10. Can zero in now on NJSIAA Non-Public B title bid.



Dropped out: none. Some others being considered: none.
