The Miami Hurricanes received some big news Monday morning, a day after completing their season-opening sweep of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights: They are now the No. 1 team in the nation.
The Hurricanes (3-0) topped the D1 Baseball rankings after entering the opening series at the No. 3 spot, behind only defending national champions Vanderbilt and Atlantic Coast Conference foe Louisville. But a 4-3 opening night loss by the No. 2 Commodores at the hands of Michigan in a rematch of last year’s National Championship, along with a pair of losses by No. 1 Louisville at No. 25 Ole Miss this weekend propelled Miami into the top spot.
