Shenandoah University’s baseball team sits atop the D3baseball.com/NCBWA Top 25 rankings this week after a 9-1 start to the season. It’s the first time the Hornets have topped the weekly poll since 2017.
SU, which is coming off a Super Regional appearance in the 2023 NCAA tournament, climbed three spots this week after going 4-0 in its own Mr. V Memorial Classic hosted at Kevin Anderson Field at Bridgeforth Stadium on March 1-3. That performance included two wins apiece over Susquehanna University and Eastern Connecticut State.
The Hornets received 13 first-place votes in the latest D3Baseball.com/NCBWA Top 25 for a total of 590 points. Endicott (four first-place votes, 568 points), Baldwin Wallace (six, 552), Birmingham-Southern (one, 517) and Salisbury (zero, 483) round out the top five.
Shenandoah is one of two ODAC teams in the Top 25, with defending Division III national champion Lynchburg coming in at No. 12.
