College Baseball Poll - Collegiate Baseball Newspaper

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: Monday (May 14, 2007)

VANDERBILT NO. 1 IN COLLEGIATE BASEBALL NEWSPAPER POLL

TUCSON, Ariz. — Vanderbilt (43-10), winners of 11 of its last 13 games, has been ranked No. 1 in the latest Collegiate Baseball newspaper NCAA Division I baseball poll.

This is the seventh poll this season Vanderbilt has been ranked No. 1 by Collegiate Baseball.

The Commodores also lead the Southeastern Conference with a 19-8 record. The 19 SEC wins are the most in school history which eclipsed 16 wins in 2004 and 2006. Vanderbilt has never won a regular-season SEC title since the conference began to recognize it in 1993. The team has three SEC titles, all via tournaments in 1973, 1974 and 1980. The Commodores lead the SEC in hitting with a .329 average (best in school history) and is third in ERA at 3.67.

Poll Notes: Several other teams have been red hot. Rice has won 14 straight games while Long Beach St. has won 12 in a row. Only one team fell out of the top 30 this week in Michigan. The Wolverines lost three of four games against Penn State over the past weekend but still are first in the Big Ten Conference with an 18-6 record. Cal. St. Fullerton entered the poll after beating Wichita St. two of three games over the past weekend and posting a win over Loyola Marymount earlier in the week.

The Collegiate Baseball newspaper poll is the oldest college baseball poll. Its birth took place during the 1957 college baseball season.
