Staples and Trumbull Trade Late‑Season Victories
Staples, the Class LL champion, climbed to second place after edging Trumbull 3‑2 in eight innings, while Trumbull, the FCIAC champion, secured third after a 9‑4 semifinal triumph over Fairfield Prep.
Fairfield Prep, despite finishing the regular season with only two defeats — both at the hands of Trumbull — dropped to fourth in the rankings.
Championship Results Across Divisions
St. Paul, the Class S champion, claimed fifth position after a 6‑5 victory over Stonington in nine innings, marking their second consecutive title.
New Fairfield, the SWC champion, entered the rankings at sixth following a 5‑1 win over Ansonia in the Class M championship game.
Fairfield Warde, though championship‑less, held seventh place despite losing twice to Trumbull and splitting two regular‑season meetings with Staples.
Rising and Falling Teams
Bethel, the Class L runner‑up, re‑entered the Top 10, while Lyman Hall, East Lyme and Glastonbury all fell out of the top tier after their tournament exits.
Notably, Hall became the first team outside the top 10 to accumulate 127 points, trailing Bethel by 31 points.
