Welcome to Roger Williams and Marymount to the D3baseball.com NCBWA Top 25 this week. Buena Vista also rejoins since being ranked in Week 5. Endicott remains the top team followed by Denison, Baldwin Wallace, East Texas Baptist and Salisbury.
Weather was on the minds of many as games were cancelled across the middle of D3 Nation. Wartburg needed a win and got one from Buena Vista as Iowa missed much of the inclement weather on Tuesday.
TCNJ joins the D3baseball.com/NCBWA Top 25 this week along with conference mate Montclair State and Buena Vista. Endicott continues to hold the top ranking and Baldwin Wallace jumped over Shenandoah as the top three teams remain in the top three spots.
The best teams in Region 9 comes from Wisconsin. UW-La Crosse looks as strong as does UW-Stevens Point. UW-Whitewater will be a factor as well. Add Bethel, Gustavus and Buena Vista and you have a region that competes with any other.
