The top teams in each league held their spots but a few teams moved up or down. The Blue Jays swept the Dodgers last weekend to help move up the charts. The Eastside Expos still look like the team to beat.
1. Eastside Expos (1) - Dan Sefner and Omar Steinberg have been lights out for the Expos and have the team's ERA under 1. The Expos have also been one of the top hitting teams in the South and look to be the favorites for the CCWA Championship this year.
2. Ridgefield Orioles (2) - The O's have looked hot this year behind last year's ROY Eric Dorland. The O's have an inter league matchup with the Gothams this weekend and are the favorites to win the series. Look for Dorland to lead this team to the postseason.
3. Lexington Brewers (6) - The Brew Crew has team Ace Kyle Godinho back in the lineup and should continue to improve as the season progresses. With their great pitching staff the Brew Crew will definitely be in the mix when the playoffs start.
4. Buckman Blue Jays (8) - The Jays swept the expansion Dodgers last weekend to move up the chart. These birds have a lot of talent in their lineup and they know what it takes to win. Team captain Mark Sefner will have these guys ready to make a run at the title.
5. Jackmove Giants (3) - The Giants started off the season smoking hot but have cooled down as of late. Statistically speaking they're still the best team in the league. Look for Scott Coleman to continue his overall great start and carry the Giants through the season.
6. Bridgetown Black Barons (5) - The Barons have come into the league on fire and have surprised some of their competition. Brian Jolly is trying to run away with this year's ROY and has the Barons in position to make a playoff run.
7. Longview Lumberjacks (7) - Josh Burckhardt has been lights-out on the mound but can't seem to get any run support. If the Lumberjacks can get their bats going they could make a deep run into the postseason.
8. Bridge City Dodgers (4) - The Dodgers will be looking to bounce back after getting swept by the Jays. Bryan Moser and Chris Larkin have been great so far this season and team captain Andy Kushner has this team ready to compete.
9. Rose City Royals (9) - Eddie Francis and Joey Bock have been absolutely amazing on the hill this season for the Royales and them right in the hunt for a postseason berth. Dustin Weasel and Brooks Karey have supplied some offense and helped Rose City stay competitive.
10. Mid-Town Mariners (10) - The M's have had some rough times to start the season with team captain Ryan "Ox" Oxford getting injured. Justin "Jaybird" Ellis has been great from the hill but the M's will have to score some more runs to help out their #2 starters.
11. Portland Gothams (13) - The Got Hamms are improving every week and have a huge series this weekend against the Orioles. Look for them to use this inter league series to get back on track and competing in the South.
12. Columbia Hgts. Cardinals (12) - The Cardinals need Casey Robinson in their lineup if they're going to compete. Andy "Red" Huntington has been great on the hill but the Cards need to score some more runs if they plan on competing.
13. Clark County Colt .45's (11) - The Colt .45's just can't seem to catch a break. Team captain Bryan Anderson has pitched some great games where the .45's couldn't get him enough run support and they lost. Nicole Colpron's bat should help the Colt .45's knock in some runs.
14. (tie) Cowlitz Black Bears (14) - The Black Bears have had a few moments of greatness this season but they can't string them together frequently enough to get some victories. This weekend's matchup against the Biscuits is huge for both of these teams.
14. (tie) Beaver State Biscuits (15) - The Biscuits have started off slowly this season but should keep improving as the year progresses. If the Biscuits can sweep the Black Bears this weekend they should jump up the rankings.

Eight CCWA Teams Nationally Ranked
The National Wiffleball League Association just released their latest National Rankings and the CCWA has an all-time high eight teams ranked.
The Eastside Expos maintain their spot as the #3 team in the nation with their 8-0 record. The Ridgefield Orioles made a huge jump after sweeping the Giants and are now ranked #14.
We have no teams ranked in the twenties but we dominate the thirties with the Jackmove Giants (31), Bridgetown Black Barons (32), Bridge City Dodgers (35) and the Buckman Blue Jays (36) all being on the list.
The Longview Lumberjacks (41) and the Lexington Brewers (44) round out the top 50 for the CCWA.
It should be interesting to see how the CCWA teams stack up with the rest of the teams out there as the season progresses.
