As for our Victory Mounds top ten squads, across all classes, teams went a combined 104-42 while outscoring opponents by a 1,084-562. Now lets go ahead and take a look at how each classes top ten fared out across week two.

Class 1A

Perhaps the most fireworks across all the classes came within the 1A ranks. First off, top-10 teams produced the most runs out of any of the classes, sporting 345 runs for the week. That in turn led 1A top-10 teams to a 34-6 record. That marked both the highest win total and lowest loss total of all the classes. Lots of storylines to follow from the reigning champs rough start, to Kee stealing the show with an 8-0 record and 81 runs scored across week two action. That marked the most out of any team in the state. Kingsley-Pierson also impressed with a victory over Council Bluffs St. Albert in a top-10 showdown. No doubt there was action in abundance across Class 1A in week two.

Class 2A

There was more excitement happening within the Class 2A ranks as well. As a whole, Class 2A top ten teams went a combined 22-12 on the week. They also outscored their opponents by a 210-158 margin, which did mark the slimmest scoring margin out of any class through week two. Van Meter showcased as always, posting the second-highest scoring mark with 56 runs compared to just three allowed. If that was impressive, Estherville Lincoln Central allowed just one run in their four games. Meanwhile, Pella Christian emerged as a force, taking down Des Moines Christian in a tough week two battle.
