Expectations are a Horizon League championship every year in baseball. That in turn helps recruiting great players that can compete pretty well against the big conferences.

The Raiders fell behind early, trailing 7-2 at one point, but the Raiders scored 7 unanswered and won the season opener at Elon 9-7.
The series continues with a doubleheader tomorrow afternoon.

WSU thumped Elon 10-2 in game 2 of the double header. The Raiders and Phoenix will complete the 4 game series tomorrow afternoon, first pitch is scheduled for 1:30. Elon will be looking to avoid a 4 game sweep, while the Raiders look to build on the first three victories.

Boom! What a start to the season. 4-0. I wonder if we have a good shot at being ranked soon if we keep playing well.
This team was great last year and they've returned the majority of that squad (and have some good freshmen). Couldn't be more excited about Raider baseball.
EDIT: I spoke too soon. I thought Southpaw was saying we won Game 4 of the series today. That game is going on right now. The good news is WSU leads 6-2 in the top of the 6th. Let's finish out this 4-game sweep boys!

But you do realize this is a team that was 43-17 last year, finished in second place in their NCAA regional (behind No. 1 seed Illinois) and returned most of their roster? No one said sweeping Elon would get them ranked. But they were already known as a very good team entering this season. This will certainly help them get ranked. They obviously need to play well this month against teams like NC State, but I would have to think WSU is knocking on the door of being a top-25 team. And the sweep is complete! Raiders take all 4 games at Elon. Won 11-2 today. Nice job, gents. |

If this team continues to play and win at a high level, I think it has the best chance in recent years to be ranked, having gained some extra exposure advancing to the regional final last year. |

Of course not. But you do realize this is a team that was 43-17 last year, finished in second place in their NCAA regional (behind No. 1 seed Illinois) and returned most of their roster? I know we were really good last season. I also know we weren't ranked last season. I also know that what we did last year has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on if this team will be ranked this year. No one said sweeping Elon would get them ranked. But they were already known as a very good team entering this season. This will certainly help them get ranked. They obviously need to play well this month against teams like NC State, but I would have to think WSU is knocking on the door of being a top-25 team. Do you realize how hard it is for a mid-major team to get ranked in most sports, not just baseball? Can you name the last team from the HL that was ranked in baseball? Sweeping Elon is a great start to the year, but we are very far away from getting ranked. That is a simple truth. |
