Two Teams Join Top 10…
Florida remains number one in this week’s USA Today/ESPN College Baseball Coaches’ Poll after taking two of three games at South Carolina in their weekend series in Columbia. The Gators had their 19-game winning streak snapped with Thursday’s loss on ESPNU, but they bounced back for Friday and Saturday wins.
Kentucky, which had its season-opening 22-game win streak snapped Friday by Tennessee, also came back to win the last two games of its series, but the Wildcats dropped a spot in this week’s poll.
