GREENVILLE, N.C. - After posting a 2-1 week, which included wins over then No. 11 Oklahoma State and St. John's, the East Carolina baseball team found itself ranked in three national collegiate baseball polls Monday afternoon.
The Pirates (5-1) garnered national rankings from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) - No. 20; Collegiate Baseball - No. 24 and USA Today/ ESPN Coaches Poll - No. 24, while picking up votes in both the Baseball America and Rivals.com polls this week.
This is the first time since March of 2007 that the Pirates have been ranked in three national polls during the same week. Back on March 12, ECU was tabbed No. 25 by Baseball America, and No. 27 by both Collegiate Baseball and NCBWA.
The Pirates will be back on the diamond Wednesday, Mar. 4 when they play host to former Colonial Athletic Association foe Old Dominion. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. (ET).
