Unbeatens Hazleton Area and Riverside added two more wins each to hold on to the No. 1 spots, but there is movement below them in the Riverfront Sports Super Six Baseball Power Rankings of District 2 teams.

Four Wyoming Valley Conference teams made moves in the rankings that were released Monday morning. Dallas, Lake-Lehman and Nanticoke climbed in the rankings while Wyoming Valley West joined them for the first time.

Lackawanna League Division 2 rivals North Pocono and Wallenpaupack held down the second and third Big School positions behind Hazleton Area.
