The Scots jumped two places to fourth, behind Oxford Hills and Medomak Valley, who each moved up one slot from [last week’s rankings](https://www.sunjournal.com/2026/06/02/shuffle-behind-top-4-in-varsity-maine-softball-poll/). Gorham dropped from second to fifth — this is the Rams’ first time outside the top-4 this season — and Westbrook, which as beaten Bonny Eagle twice, rose from seventh to sixth. York also moved up a spot. Lewiston hasn’t lost since May 11 (a span of seven games that includes a victory over Oxford Hills), but was a victim of the “Bonny Eagle shuffle,” falling from fifth to eighth.
