Arkansas Retains No. 1 Status from Baseball America
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas is still the No. 1 team in the country, according to Baseball America.
The Razorbacks remained the top-ranked team in the publication’s week six poll, which was released Monday. It is the fourth straight week that Arkansas holds the No. 1 spot in at least one of the six major polls.
The Hogs were previously the unanimous No. 1 team in all of college baseball, having led the Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, D1Baseball, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, Perfect Game and USA Today Coaches polls for two consecutive weeks.
D1Baseball and the USA Today Coaches Poll rank Arkansas as the No. 2 team in the country this week. Perfect Game and the NCBWA have the Hogs at No. 3, while CB Newspaper listed the Razorbacks at No. 5.
Arkansas, now 14-3 on the year after picking up a series win against nationally ranked Alabama during the opening weekend of SEC play, takes the field five times this week. The Razorbacks host Memphis for a two-game midweek series at Baum-Walker Stadium before heading to Mississippi State this weekend.
First pitch in Tuesday’s contest against the Tigers is set for 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network+.
