TRIB TOP 5
(Records through April 1)
1. Land O' Lakes (10-4, Last week-2): Gators mercy ruled River Ridge for the second time; hosts No. 2 Mitchell tonight.
2. Mitchell (12-3, Last week-1): Lost to Class 6A-7 St. Petersburg, which hadn't won a district game all season. A win tonight at No. 2 Land O' Lakes would move Mustangs back on top.
3. Pasco (12-3, LW-3): Lost to Springstead on March 27 but rebounded with extra-inning win at Sunlake on March 30.
4. Zephyrhills (11-5, LW-4): Can't figure the Bulldogs out. They beat Sunlake and Nature Coast then lose 10-0 to Springstead at home.
5. Sunlake (8-7, LW-5): Lost two tough 4A-8 games at home (Zephyrhills and Pasco) in extra innings. Has Nature Coast tonight before heading to Spruce Creek tourney next week.
