CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The University of Virginia baseball team climbed back into the national polls. After a brief stint that saw UVa drop out of several polls, a current nine-game winning streak (including consecutive three-game ACC series sweeps over Clemson and Duke) has propelled the Cavaliers back into the national spotlight. Virginia currently stands 29-7 overall, 11-4 in the ACC and is ranked #23 in the nation this week by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and in the Sports Weekly/ESPN Coaches’ Poll. UVa is also ranked #24 by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
