FHSU Athletics
GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Fort Hays State baseball team is ranked 27th in the latest ABCA NCAA Division II Coaches Poll, released Tuesday by the coaches association. It is the first recorded time the Tigers have been listed inside a national poll since 2006 and the first time they have been mentioned in a poll since the 2011 preseason poll when they were receiving votes.
Fort Hays State is 16-5 on the season, including wins in 12 of its last 13 contests. The Tigers lead the MIAA at 11-1 on the year, including five wins over ranked opponents over the last two weeks in Missouri Southern and Central Oklahoma.
Two other MIAA programs are listed in the Coaches Top 30, including second-ranked Central Missouri and No. 29 Rogers State. Missouri Southern, Central Oklahoma and Washburn are all receiving votes this week.
Fort Hays State is also receiving votes in the most recent D2Baseball poll, released Monday.
The Tigers hit the road for the first time in nearly one month this afternoon when FHSU opens a midweek series at Washburn before taking on Pittsburg State in a three-game set over the weekend.
