The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association released its South Central Region Poll, listing St. Edward's baseball as ninth in a region comprised of the Lone Star Conference and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
 
St. Edward's is 4-6 with a 4-4 conference record following a 3-1 series loss to nationally-ranked West Texas A&M, which took over the top spot in the rankings with a 10-2 record and seven of the committee's eight first-place votes.
 
The NCBWA Regional polls are assembled by a committee of eight members with four representatives from each conference. Neither the region nor the national NCBWA poll has any direct correlation to which teams advance to the NCAA Tournament.
 
St. Edward's hosts Eastern New Mexico in a four-game series starting Friday, with a doubleheader on Saturday and concluding Sunday.
