There was some movement in this week's rankings. Serra claims the No. 1 spot after Valley Christian fell from the ranks of the unbeaten.

It was a day of upsets as both St. Ignatius Prep and Valley Christian lost 1-0 decisions on their home fields.

The Peninsula's leaders in strikeouts. The leader may surprise you.

Terra Nova moved over the .500 mark for the first time this season, while Sequoia pulled off its biggest win over the year -- a 3-2 victory over Saint Francis.

Not as big a slate of games as last Saturday, but there are a few that catch our eye: Cardinal Newman at No. 1 Valley Christian and a hard-hitting Los Gatos team traveling to No. 3 St. Ignatius Prep. Brave the elements and go see a game.

The Serra senior has battled his way into the starting lineup -- first as an outfielder and now as a second baseman -- and recently signed a letter of intent to play at the University of Pacific.

Through nearly three weeks of the season, here are the top batting averages on the Peninsula.
