Alabama Baseball Falls to No. 24 in Latest Baseball America Top 25
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After dropping one of its three games at College of Charleston this past weekend, Alabama baseball saw the loss reflected in the latest edition of the Baseball America Top 25.
The Crimson Tide fell from No. 23 to No. 24 this week. While Alabama lost on Saturday 1-0 in a pitcher's duel, the Crimson Tide stormed back on Sunday to wallop the Cougars 21-3 — likely saving the team from dropping out of the top 25 altogether.
Across the SEC, seven other teams are ranked — including No. 1 through No. 4. Arkansas takes the top spot in this week's rankings, followed by Mississippi State at No. 2, Vanderbilt at No. 3 and Ole Miss at No. 4.
Florida comes in at No. 6, while South Carolina rounds out the top 10 in the No. 10 spot. Tennessee places No. 23 in this week's poll, just one spot above Alabama.
Alabama will now host South Alabama on Tuesday and Jacksonville State on Wednesday before taking part in its final non-conference weekend series of the season against Stetson Friday-Sunday.
