• D3baseball.com Week 5 Poll

TUCSON, Ariz. -- The winningest team in Division III baseball right now and off to its best start in school history at 22-3 overall, Millsaps College was rewarded in the first American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) / Collegiate Baseball Poll of the 2009 season with a No. 2 ranking -- its highest in school history.

Millsaps received 230 total points, including three of the eight first place votes, as they jumped from unranked in the preseason into second behind No. 1 Eastern Connecticut State with 232 points and four first place votes.

The Majors were ranked as high as No. 11 by ABCA/Collegiate Baseball back on March 27, 2007, and have found themselves in the Top 25 on several different occasions, most recently No. 23 on March 25, 2008.

A regular in the D3baseball.com Top 25 this season, Millsaps moved up two spots into a tie for fourth in this week's poll with last week's top-ranked team, Trinity (Conn.).  The Majors garnered three first-place votes as they each accumulated 502 points.

Millsaps will continue a stretch of six-straight away games this weekend, traveling to Austin College for the final two games of a five-game season series.  The Majors have already wrapped up the series, winning all three games in Jackson earlier this season.

The next ABCA/Collegiate Baseball poll will be released on April 7.
