The New England Baseball Journal Division 3 Top 10 largely looks the same as teams hit the meat of their conference schedules during the second week of April.

Babson saw its record winning streak come to an end with a sweep against another regionally-ranked foe from the NEWMAC, while Southern Maine suffered the same fate in Little East play earlier in the week. Tufts jumps up a spot in the New England ranks to give the NESCAC a pair of top-five clubs, while Williams maintains its spot.

A second Commonwealth Coast Conference club returns to the fold, joining the Golden Bears of Western New England who have been ranked all season.

Below is this week’s Top 10, which includes nine of the same 10 teams as last week. The Player and Pitcher of the Week duo again comes from the CCC.
