PREMIUM: PG's college baseball weekly winners and losers

----

Vanderbilt has one of the nation's top arms in right-handed pitcher Sonny Gray, and now is the nation's top team in the Perfect Game Top 25 rankings after hitting the road last week and taking two of three from Arkansas.

The Commodores vaulted to the to spot in part because of their weekend performance, and also because South Carolina, which moved from No. 5 to No. 3 in our rankings, hit the road and took two of three from previously No. 1 Florida. The Gators dropped three spots from No. 1 to No. 4.

Texas and Oklahoma dropped out of the top 10 this week, while Fresno State and Texas A&M entered. The Bulldogs had another fantastic week that included a series sweep over San Diego, while the Aggies allowed no earned runs in a home series sweep over Kansas. Fresno comes in at No. 8 while the Aggies are No. 9.

Oregon State and Baylor vaulted to No's 19 and 20, respectively, while Tulane and Clemson dropped to No's 23 and 25, respectively, after weekend series losses.

Southern Mississippi and Stetson are the new entrants to the rankings. The Golden Eagles entered at No. 22 after taking a weekend series from Tulane, while the Hatters entered at No. 24 after a great week that included a win over Florida State.

The conference breakdowns are as follows: Pac-10 6, ACC 5, SEC 4, Big 12 4, Conference USA 2 and MWC, Big West, Atlantic Sun and WAC all with one representative.

Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...
