Loss can’t put dent in South Carolina baseball’s ranking
South Carolina baseball might have lost a tight pitchers’ duel Sunday afternoon to UNC Greensboro, but it didn’t do too much damage in the rankings.
The Gamecocks (2-1) remained at No. 4 in the D1Baseball Top 25 and No. 5 in the Baseball America rankings. They still sit behind Florida, Florida State and TCU in both polls, though the Seminoles also took a loss over the weekend.
USC was fifth in the Perfect Game rankings, also the same as in the preseason.
After winning the series against UNCG, the Gamecocks have mid-week tilts against Charlotte on Tuesday and Kansas State on Thursday before a weekend series vs. Wright State.
Clemson ranked between No. 15 and No. 22 in the polls after a 1-2 start. Defending College World Series Champion Coastal Carolina was No. 18 or 19 and fell out of the Perfect Game Rankings altogether after going 1-2.
