Season’s Final Rankings
The Alexandria Angels have seized the top spot in Class B, improving to a 12‑2 record and riding an eight‑game winning streak that has left their rivals scrambling to keep pace. Their recent surge follows a stretch where they overtook Dell Rapids PBR, a team that held the No. 1 position for four consecutive weeks.
In Class A, the Brookings Cubs have climbed to the summit after a convincing 5‑1 win over the Renner Monarchs on July 12. The victory marks the Cubs’ seventh straight win, cementing their dominance heading into the final poll of the season.
How the Poll Works
South Dakota Amateur Baseball Association commissioners and a select group of media representatives cast votes that determine the weekly rankings. The poll reflects both statistical performance and expert observation, offering a snapshot of competitive balance across the state’s amateur leagues.
The final poll of the season is slated for release next week, providing a definitive look at the teams that will carry the momentum into the upcoming tournament schedule.
What’s Next for the Teams
Both the Angels and the Cubs now turn their focus to regional competition, where their recent form could translate into deeper playoff runs. Coaches say the key will be maintaining the discipline that has defined their recent stretches.
