The Virginia Cavaliers remain the No. 1 team in Baseball America's Top 25 poll for the fifth straight week. But the Oregon State Beavers are right behind the Cavalier, waiting to make that leap to No. 1 with two weeks of regular season play remaining. The Cavaliers took two of three from the Miami Hurricanes, and the Beavers picked up two wins over the Washington Huskies on the weekend. The Cavaliers have a midweek game with High Point and a three-game series with North Carolina before the ACC Tournament begins on May 25.

In the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and the USA Today/Coaches Poll, the Cavaliers remain the No. 1 team as well, though the Beavers are No. 2 in the CBN (up from No. 3) and now No. 7 in the Coaches Poll (breaking the tie for the spot).

In Mountain West results, the TCU Horned Frogs are still No. 10 in BA's poll, but they moved to No. 7 in the CBN and No. 9 in the Coaches Poll. The Horned Frogs captured the regular season Mountain West title when outfielder Jason Coats scored on a wild pitch for the 2-1 victory. TCU will play Oral Roberts and New Mexico before the MWC tournament begins on May 24.
