SAN ANTONIO – For the first time in program history, the UTSA Roadrunners have earned rankings in national polls, including No. 24 in Baseball America, No. 27 in NCBWA and No. 23 in Perfect Game.
The Roadrunners have had a phenomenal first half of the season, winning every single one of their weekend series while sweeping three of them. UTSA went 3-1 last week, sweeping WKU in a three-game conference series. The .793 overall winning percentage and .889 conference winning percentage the Roadrunners have produced has finally caught the attention of the polls as UTSA earned spots on three different polls and received votes on another.
The Roadrunners were ranked No. 24 in the Baseball America rankings this week, one of the four major polls in NCAA Division I baseball which is voted on by its staff.
After receiving votes in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) poll for the past four weeks, UTSA finally broke the top-30 mark with a No. 27 ranking in the poll this week as voted on by a panel of 34 college baseball writers and related media people across the nation.
Lastly, Perfect Game put the Roadrunners at No. 23 this week, after breaking in at No. 25 last week. This rankings list is put together by Perfect Game staff members.
The Roadrunners are also receiving votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll, which is voted on by NCAA Division I head coaches across the nation.
