Lackawanna League Division 4 leader Lackawanna Trail won three times during the week to extend its winning streak to six games and move into the Riverfront Sports Super Six Baseball Power Rankings of District 2 teams.
The new rankings were released Saturday morning.
Lackawanna Trail has won six straight since an opening loss, allowing just seven runs during that time. The streak allowed the Lions to grab the sixth spot among Small Schools, making them the only new team in this week’s rankings.

Hazleton Area continues to lead the Big School rankings while Riverside is still on top of the Small Schools.
