DALLAS (NCBWA) – A midweek extra-inning loss was not enough to put the skids on Angelo State’s reign atop the latest National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II Top 25 poll, as the Rams grabbed 11 first-place votes to retain their perch at No. 1 heading into conference tournament weekend.

The Rams scored three late runs to push their regular season finale with state rival St. Edward’s into extra innings, but ultimately saw their 17-game win streak come to an end on Tuesday. That was enough to push some of the limelight onto North Greenville and UC San Diego, both of whom raked in first-place votes this week as well.

Two teams re-entered the top 25 this week, including Colorado School of Mines (No. 23) who strung together a four-game weekend sweep of MSU Denver to stretch its win streak out to six games. Mount Olive (No. 25) won three games in the Conference Carolinas Tournament, but ultimately dropped a tight contest to then-No. 3 North Greenville in the championship game.
