The UNC baseball team successfully opened up its ACC season this past weekend by taking two out of three games at home against then No. 10 Virginia.

After recording their first series victory over the Cavaliers since 2012–plus a mid-week win over VCU on Tuesday–the Tar Heels jumped from No. 13 to No. 11 in this week’s D1Baseball.com Top 25.

Head coach Mike Fox and company are the ACC’s third-highest ranked team–with No. 1 Florida State and No. 4 Louisville leading a list that also includes No. 13 Clemson and No. 14 Virginia.

The SEC has six schools among the top 25, representing the only conference to have more than the ACC’s five.

UNC (12-4, 2-1 ACC) will look to advance its place in the rankings this week when it caps off a 17-game homestand on Tuesday against Maryland, before traveling to Atlanta this weekend to face Georgia Tech in its first road series of the year.
