After another impressive week for the Bat ‘Cats, Nick Mingione’s squad is ranked No. 18 by both D1Baseball and Baseball America. They are also up four spots all the way to No. 1 in RPI. Seven SEC teams are ranked in this week’s rankings even after Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Missouri dropped out of the rankings. It just means more.
Although their 17-game winning streak was snapped on Sunday, the ‘Cats still had a successful week. After beating Eastern Kentucky 9-3 on Tuesday, Kentucky traveled to Tuscaloosa for a weekend series against the freshly unranked Alabama Crimson Tide.
