For the first time in program history, the Wright State baseball team appears in the Baseball America weekly poll as the Raiders are ranked #25 in this week's poll, which was released on Monday.
Wright State opened the season this past weekend by winning two of three games at then #10 ranked Clemson, winning 6-4 on Friday and 9-2 on Sunday. The two wins were the 12th and 13th for the Raiders over a ranked program since the start of the 2007 season. It marks the first time WSU had won two games over a ranked program in a series since taking the final two of a three-game series at #18 Mississippi February 24 and 25, 2007.
Along with the Baseball America ranking, Wright State also received votes in this week's National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll.
WSU returns to action this weekend with a three-game series at #5 South Carolina. The Raiders and Gamecocks will play single games on Friday (4:00), Saturday (3:00) and Sunday (1:30).
