JUCO Top 25: May 7 | Top 300 JUCO Prospects

In the two weeks since we last did our last Junior College Top 25 update there have been some seriously crazy happenings in JUCO baseball. Iowa Western took down No. 1 Wabash Valley to earn the bid to Grand Junction. Chipola did it again by beating No. 3 Northwest Florida State to advance to the World Series for the third straight year in hopes of capturing their third straight national title. New Mexico upset McLennan in Texas to get back to the big dance. That's just to name a few, as you can tell by the rankings below, there was a lot of movement.

Pearl River certainly warrants mention as they went on quite the postseason run to earn a nod to the NJCAA D-II World Series, as the No. 1 seed no less. They took down LSU-Eunice, Itawamba, Jones and Northwest – all high-end programs having excellent seasons en route to earning that berth.

Out in California it's about as expected, with San Joaquin Delta and Sacramento City coming from the north and Orange Coast and El Camino making it out of the south to form the final four there.
