Gamecocks Baseball Cracks Top Ten in Latest Rankings

After another big three-game sweep, D1Baseball.com placed South Carolina's Baseball team 9th in their latest weekly rankings.

It seems the only place for Mark Kingston and the South Carolina Baseball Team to go is up. Starting the season at No. 23, the Gamecocks have made substantial jumps in each weekly rankings thanks to their 23-2 record thus far this season. Though the Gamecocks have been consistently climbing the ladder, the team hadn't cracked the top ten until this week.

D1Baseball.com slated the Gamecocks ninth in the rankings following the team's impressive three-game sweep of the previously No. 23 Missouri Tigers. Having jumped 14 spots since the initial pre-season rankings, the Gamecocks have proven to be one of the highest-achieving teams in the nation.

South Carolina trails only four SEC teams in the rankings currently, with the No. 1 LSU Tigers, No. 3 Florida Gators, No. 4 Vanderbilt Commodores, and No. 6 Arkansas Razorbacks sitting ahead of South Carolina. South Carolina has a matchup against The Citadel on Tuesday before starting another conference series on Thursday night against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
