College Baseball Update

Vanderbilt rolled into Lexington last weekend and swept the Wildcats by scores of 11-3, 5-3, and 10-5.  Meanwhile, UNC dropped a series at Georgia Tech -- the Heels lost 5-4, won 3-1, and lost 9-8 in 11 innings (blowing a six-run lead in the last game).  So Vandy moves up to number 1, and UNC falls to number 3 -- just behind LSU, which clinched the SEC West Title by winning two of three at Texas A & M.

So with one week left in the regular season, here is the latest top 25 from Baseball America:

1.  Vanderbilt:  45-6
2.  Louisiana St:  45-7
3.  N. Carolina:  45-6
4.  Cal-State Fullerton:  41-8
5.  N. Carolina St:  39-12
6.  Oregon St:  41-8
7.  Virginia:  42-8
8.  UCLA:  34-14
9.  Florida St:  41-10
10.  Oregon:  40-11
11.  Arkansas:  34-17
12.  Louisville:  42-10
13.  Arizona St:  32-15-1
14.  S. Carolina:  37-14
15.  Indiana:  38-11
16.  New Mexico:  32-18
17.  Clemson:  37-15
18.  S. Alabama: 39-14
19.  Kansas St:  37-15

  1. So Vandy will get to choke it up from the number 1 seed possibly. Exciting.

    1. Tennessee Tech is really good. They are 37-14 overall. But I expect the OVC Tournament -- to be held in Jackson, Tennessee, starting next week -- to be a terrific battle between the top 4 teams in the conference.
