USC baseball ranked as high as No. 13 nationally

South Carolina is ranked as high as No. 13 in the weekly collection of national baseball polls after going 5-0 last week.

The Gamecocks are ranked No. 13 by D1Baseball.com and No. 18 by Collegiate Baseball, but are unranked by Perfect Game and Baseball America, despite an 8-0 start to the season.

Perfect Game does list Carolina as a team that was considered to be ranked, alongside East Carolina and Georgia Tech.

Last week USC won midweek games against Appalachian State and Winthrop before sweeping Penn State over the weekend.

The Gamecocks travel to Charleston to play The Citadel on Tuesday before a three-game series with Clemson begins Friday night at Founders Park.
