UH baseball ranked No. 20 in Baseball America

Advertiser Staff

The University of Hawai'i jumped back into Baseball America's top 25 national rankings at No. 20, according to Baseball America Online.

The Rainbows (24-13) won 3 of 4 from Sacramento State over the weekend and share the Western Athletic Conference lead with Nevada.

Both are 7-4. Hawai'i entered the rankings two weeks ago at No. 23, but dropped out after losing 2 of 3 in an abbreviated series at Nevada, where one of the games was canceled because of rain.

Again, Collegiate Baseball magazine and USA Today/ESPN do not have the Rainbows ranked. Hawai'i' season-opening opponent, UC Irvine, has moved into the No. 1 spot in both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. The Rainbows will play at Arizona State, ranked No. 2 by Collegiate Baseball and No. 3 by Baseball America, Tuesday before resuming WAC play at New Mexico State.
