Wooster remained unbeaten over the past two weeks and, understandably, the Scots remain No. 1 in the Division III baseball coaches poll.
While Wooster (23-0) and Chapman (25-4) hold onto the top two slots in the ABCA Top 30, the biggest mover upwards was 2002 national champion Eastern Connecticut State (13-6), which moved up to No. 12 after not being ranked in the previous poll.
Pacific Lutheran enters the poll at No. 14, essentially replacing George Fox, whom the Lutes swept last weekend in Northwest Conference action. York (Pa.), Ramapo, Carthage and Rhodes entered the poll as well.
The regional leaders were: No. 7 Wheaton, Mass., (16-6), No. 4 Cortland State (17-2), No. 5 Kean (17-3), No. 1 Wooster (23-0), No. 3 Emory (26-4), No. 6 St. Olaf (14-1), No. 10 Washington U. (22-5) and No. 2 Chapman (25-4). The remainder of the Top 10 is No. 8 Texas Lutheran (25-5-1) and ninth-ranked Salisbury (22-5).
The ABCA's regional rankings have no bearing on NCAA playoff selection.
Unbeaten Texas-Tyler, which is in the last year of its four-year provisional membership in Division III, is not eligible for the NCAA playoffs and is not ranked.
