Three Losses Cost Titans in Polls
Cal State Fullerton dropped out of the top spot in all three college baseball polls after losing three of five games last week.
The Titans (41-9) fell to second in the Baseball America poll and to fourth in Collegiate Baseball and USA Today. Florida State (38-9) took over the No. 1 position in each.
Baseball America has Auburn (42-6) third and Clemson (33-11) fourth. Both teams are ahead of the Titans in the other rankings.
Fullerton lost twice to seventh-ranked Wichita State but won two of three games in Big West Conference play over the weekend at Nevada. The Titans have a two-game lead over Long Beach State in the Big West race going into their final regular-season series this weekend at home against New Mexico State.
The four-team Big West postseason tournament is set for May 12-14 at Blair Field in Long Beach.
