"Last year's Men's College World Series champions entered the season looking pretty solid, but last week was certainly one to forget. To start the week off, LSU lost a home game to Northeastern 13-10, then on the road at UL-Lafayette, suffered another loss, this one 7-2."
"But disaster struck again as Sacramento State's Cameron Sewell hit a grand slam in the eighth inning of Saturday's contest to help solidify a 5-4 win for the Hornets, and then the Hornets took the last game of the series with a 6-1 win. After the 1-4 week, the Tigers dropped to the No. 13 spot in this week's rankings."
"Outside of LSU, the Florida Gators took an even bigger drop, going from No. 9 to No. 23, and the North Carolina Tar Heels dropped from No. 8 to No. 15. Two teams fell out of the rankings, the Miami Hurricanes and West Virginia Mountaineers, making room for the Virginia Cavaliers to enter at No. 14."
LSU Tigers, defending Men's College World Series champions and preseason No. 2 team, experienced a disastrous week, losing four of five games. Losses to Northeastern (13-10) and UL-Lafayette (7-2) preceded a home series against Sacramento State. While LSU won the first game 15-4, Sacramento State's Cameron Sewell hit a crucial grand slam in the eighth inning to secure a 5-4 victory, followed by another Hornets win 6-1. The Tigers' 1-4 record dropped them to No. 13 in rankings. Florida Gators fell from No. 9 to No. 23, and North Carolina dropped from No. 8 to No. 15. Miami and West Virginia fell out of rankings entirely, while Virginia entered at No. 14 and USC at No. 25.
