Virginia Baseball Rankings Roundup: UVA Moving Up After UNC Series Win

Virginia successfully bounced back from the series loss at Duke last week by going 3-1 last week, including a massive series victory over then-No. 10 North Carolina this weekend in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers erased a five-run deficit with a furious comeback to win the series opener 14-11 and then led wire-to-wire in a 7-2 victory in game 2 to clinch the series before UNC avoided the sweep with a 12-7 win in the finale on Saturday.

As a result, the Cavaliers have recovered most of the ground they lost following the Duke series loss across most of the college baseball polls. UVA moved up in each of the rankings and is now a top 10 team in four of the five polls. See a summary of Virginia's current positioning in each of the college baseball polls below:
