PITTSBURGH – Pitt baseball recorded its highest-ever ranking in program history, garnering the No. 14 slot in the Baseball America Poll released Monday. The Panthers are ranked in the top-20 all five major polls: DIBaseball.com (No. 15), Collegiate Baseball (No. 18), USA TODAY Sports Coaches' Poll (No. 18) and National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (No. 20).
Debuting in the top-25 nationally last week by DIBaseball.com (No. 18) and Baseball America (No. 19), Pitt won two-straight games over the weekend at then-RV Virginia 2-1 and 6-2.
The last team to be ranked at all, the 2013 Panthers' squad was ranked as high as 16th by Collegiate Baseball on May 13, 2013.
