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.
