LSU Ranked No. 1 in Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Poll

        

BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU is ranked No. 1 in the Collegiate Baseball newspaper poll released Monday. The Tigers (30-7) have won 13 of their last 14 games, including the last six in a row, and are tied for first place in the SEC standings with No. 2 Kentucky.
 
LSU and Kentucky meet in Lexington, Ky. this weekend in a three-game league series beginning at 5:30 p.m. CT Friday in Cliff Hagan Stadium.
 
The 2012 club becomes the third LSU team to be ranked No. 1 during the six-season tenure of coach Paul Mainieri. The 2009 team, which won the national championship, was ranked No. 1 in seven different weeks. The 2010 Fighting Tiger squad held a No. 1 ranking for three weeks.
 
“We’re certainly very proud of the No. 1 ranking,” Mainieri said. “It brings a lot of notoriety, but it also brings a lot of responsibility. We are not going to ask our players to do anything more that what they’ve been doing. We want them to continue to play relaxed and aggressive, and have fun. It’s a great honor, but it’s most important to be No. 1 at the end of the year.”
 
LSU’s next game is at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, when the Tigers play host to Lamar in Alex Box Stadium.
