Two new teams top the Midwest and Northeast regions in the MaxPreps Regional Computer Baseball Rankings, as Mt. Carmel (Chicago) and Old Town (Maine) take over the top spots in their respective regions.

Mt. Carmel was not even ranked last week, but it moved ahead of Archbishop Moeller (Cincinnati) this week. Meanwhile Old Town moved from No. 3 to No. 1, taking over the top spot from Punxsutawney (Pa.) in the Northeast.
