GREENVILLE, N.C. - After recording its fourth weekend series sweep of the season and posting a 3-1 week, the East Carolina baseball team continued its climb up the ladder in five major polls Monday afternoon.
The Pirates (35-14, 12-6 C-USA) were tabbed No. 22 by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll, No. 24 by Baseball America and Rivals.com and remained at No. 30 in this week's Collegiate Baseball poll.
