The latest D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings are out, and while there are some significant changes at the bottom of the rankings, it is very chalky at the top with LSU No. 1 for yet another week, while Wake Forest, Florida and Vanderbilt remain the next three teams in order. Virginia, which swept Florida State at home over the weekend, rounds out the top five after moving up from No. 8.

South Carolina and Tennessee round out the Top 10, while another SEC foe, Kentucky, entered the Top 20, moving from No. 23 to No. 18 after taking a series from Alabama on the road. Texas Tech and Miami were each swept this past weekend by Texas and Wake Forest, respectively, but the two remain in the rankings at No. 22 and No. 23, respectively.

Four new teams entered the rankings with Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Missouri and Grand Canyon exiting the rankings. The Rebels had the largest drop, moving from No. 13 to out of the rankings after beginning SEC play with an 0-6 record. The new teams include Coastal Carolina, Connecticut, Texas and Iowa.

D1Baseball editors and national writers determine the Top 25 rankings.

Whew! Max Kaufer and Troy Wansing slap fives after finally quelling the Stanford uprising.

Eric Sorenson – June 4, 2023

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Day two has come to a close in Palo Alto and, much to the surprise of almost everyone not living in the College Station, Texas area, the Texas A&M Aggies are the ones sitting at 2-and-0 after all is said and done. They took down No. 1 seeded Stanford 8-5 in the nightcap of the doubleheader to leap ahead of the other programs here in the Bay Area and pull within one win of going to the Super Regionals. Prior to that, Cal State Fullerton eliminated San Jose State with a 9-5 win to stay alive[…]

Game 3: West Virginia 13 | Ball State 5

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Ending a six-game skid, West Virginia gets back in the win column with a 13-5 victory over Ball State on Saturday, extending their year while ending Ball State’s season.

“Hey, guys; [I’m] much happier to see you guys today,” joked Mountaineers Head Coach Randy Mazey after the game. “We hadn’t felt this good in a little while.”

Terre Haute Regional: Day 1

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Saturday night matchup between host Indiana State and the regional’s No. 2 seed Iowa more than lived up to its lofty billing and offered a little bit of everything. What started as a back-and-forth contest turned into what seemed like a fairly comfortable Iowa lead heading into the late innings. When it comes to the Sycamores, however, no lead is safe, and for the second night in a row Indiana State saved their best for last, scoring five runs in the eighth inning on their way to securing a[…]
