BLACKSBURG, Va. - Thanks to a series win over No. 9 Miami this past weekend, the Virginia Tech baseball team has moved up the rankings in the Baseball America poll and gotten ranked for the first time this season in three others.

 

The Hokies debuted at No. 25 in the Baseball America poll last week for the first time since 1992, and have moved up to No. 20 this week.
