TUCSON, Ariz. – The Oral Roberts baseball team rose to No. 16 in this week's Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division I poll, as announced by the publication on Monday. This marks the fourth consecutive week the Golden Eagles have been ranked. 

ORU went 4-0 on the week to improve to 36-11 (20-1) overall and captured its 20th Summit League regular season title. The Golden Eagles, who are off to their best start since 2004, have won eight straight contests and 26 of their last 29. 

In midweek action, ORU rallied from a five-run deficit to defeat No. 16 Oklahoma State, 9-7, completing the season sweep of the Cowboys. Over the weekend, the Golden Eagles claimed their eighth straight series win with a sweep of St. Thomas on the road. The series sweep marked the seventh of the year for ORU. 

Following a midweek contest at Wichita State on Tuesday, the Golden Eagles return home to J.L. Johnson Stadium for a three-game set against Southern Indiana starting Friday at 6 p.m. The weekend set marks the final three home games of the season for ORU.
