It only took one round of the 2022 PIAA baseball playoffs to shuffle the Top 5 deck.

There were a few changes in the highest and mid-classifications, with a massive switch in the two lowest classes in the weekly Trib HSSN state baseball rankings.

During the regular season and even in the district postseason, there are always second chances if you slip out of the rankings.

Second chances are gone for good now.

Bethlehem Liberty in 6A, Manheim Central in 5A, Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast in 4A and Martinsburg Central in 3A all won and are headed to the quarterfinals on the Path to Penn State.

The new top teams this week are Delone Catholic in 2A and Saegertown in A.
