    Local roundup: Ledyard moves to No. 1 in state H.S. baseball poll

    Unbeaten Ledyard is the new No. 1 team in the GameTimeCT.com/New Haven Register Top 10 state high school baseball poll.

    The Colonels (6-0) replaced Ridgefield atop the weekly poll with five first-place votes and 342 points. Ridgefield, which suffered its first loss last week to Stamford, 6-3, fell to No. 5, while Cheshire (5-1) moved into the No. 2 spot behind Ledyard with three first-place votes and 326 points.

    Ledyard will be put to the test immediately this week with games on three consecutive days. The Colonels will visit Bacon Academy on Tuesday in an Eastern Connecticut Conference Division II game that was washed out on Monday. They will then host unbeaten Montville (5-0), which also received votes in the poll, on Wednesday before No. 6 Hand (4-1) visits Ledyard on Thursday.

    Ledyard has ridden its dominant pitching, allowing only two runs in six games with five shutouts, including a no-hitter by Cade Walters last Friday in a 1-0 victory over Norwich Free Academy.
