Notre Dame baseball almost atop the latest Baseball American poll

The Irish didn’t complete the sweep during opening weekend, but it seems like Baseball America didn’t care much about the getaway day loss to Delaware. It was a game where Link Jarrett’s team just couldn’t finish the job, as the Blue Hens got the walk-off victory.

As noted above, Baseball America didn’t care, their latest poll was released today and the Irish are ranked as the second best team in the country. Notre Dame ended up moving up two spots, just behind top rated Texas. It’s a bit surprising as the third ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys have the same record but defeated Vanderbilt in two of three games. The Commodores were the number two ranked team in the country last week.

Regardless of where the Irish are, having a ranking the high early in the season is a great sign, one that shows that they are among the top teams in the country.
