Lute Baseball Team Ranked 7th in
West Region
Pacific Lutheran, which has won seven straight games and
14 of its last 16, is ranked seventh in the West Region
in the first American Baseball Coaches Association/Collegiate
Baseball poll of the spring.
The Lutes, 17-5 overall prior to Tuesday’s non-conference
game at Saint Martin’s, received votes in the preseason
national poll conducted during the fall.
In addition to playing Saint Martin’s today, the
Lutes host Puget Sound in a non-conference game on Wednesday,
then greet conference leader George Fox in a three-game
series this weekend. PLU and George Fox, which is ranked
No. 5 in the ABCA Division III national poll, play a doubleheader
starting at noon on Saturday, then conclude the series with
a single game starting at noon on Sunday.
