Only minor changes were made in the second week of the 2021 Trib HSSN state baseball rankings.
One team from each class lost its footing and dropped out of the top 5, thus opening the door for six new teams to join the state diamond elite.
Out are Souderton, Bethel Park, Hamburg, Martinsburg Central, Devon Prep and Delco Christian as they have been replaced by Bethlehem Liberty (6A), Franklin Regional (5A), Northwestern Lehigh (4A), Fairview (3A), Schuylkill Haven (2A) and Conemaugh Valley (A).
The top-ranked teams all remain the same with one exception. With Souderton falling completely out of the rankings with a pair of losses, Manheim Township takes over at No. 1 in Class 6A.
