CHARLOTTE, NC – Ahead of the final week of regular season play for Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference baseball teams, league-leading teams once again used last week’s results to move up the latest NJCAA Division 1 Baseball top 25 poll as four conference schools are ranked with two inside the top 10 of the poll released on Monday, April 28th.

Matching their highest ranking of the season, Cowley College is back up two spots to number three in the Week 10 poll after taking a trio of games last week with road wins over Seminole State College and Butler Community College before closing out their week with a home win over Butler. The Tigers enter the final weekend of KJCCC East Division play with a one-game lead over Johnson County Community College who is ranked sixth this week as the Cavaliers made a two-spot move up the rankings after winning five games last week with a sweep of Baker University JV before taking three of four games in a conference series over Coffeyville Community College.

After dropping a road doubleheader at Dodge City to open their final four-game conference series of the season, Barton Community College bounced back with a home sweep to secure their 12th KJCCC West Division title in program history as the Cougars went 3-2 last week and fell three spots down to 20th in the latest rankings while Cloud County moved up one spot to 23rd. The T-Birds picked up three wins last week as part of a 3-1 week after having their second game of a four-game series with Colby suspended due to weather with the resumption set for Monday afternoon. CCCC heads into the final week of the regular season with a 37-13 overall record and is locked into the number two seed in the KJCCC West Division for the upcoming NJCAA Plains District Tournament.
