Four straight series wins, plus a climb back into first place in the Big Ten standings equals a return to the major polls for Indiana baseball.
The Hoosiers appeared in both the Baseball America and D1Baseball.com top 25 rankings on Monday, landing at No. 23 in the former and No. 24 in the latter. IU is the only Big Ten team to receive placement in both polls.
Head coach Jeff Mercer’s club is coming off a big weekend that saw the Hoosiers take two of three from Iowa to start what will be a pivotal month of baseball against the top half of the conference.
