— Following another home series win over a ranked opponent, Arkansas reappeared in the Baseball America rankings this week at No. 24.

The Razorbacks (25-16, 9-9 SEC) took two of three games from then-No. 18 Vanderbilt over the weekend. Arkansas beat the Commodores 6-2 Friday and 3-1 Sunday, and lost 2-1 Saturday.

It's the first time the Razorbacks have been ranked since a series loss to South Alabama in the third week of the season. The No. 24 ranking matches Arkansas' highest this year.

The Razorbacks are among nine SEC teams ranked this week. Other ranked teams from the league include: No. 6 Florida, No. 8 Alabama, No. 9 LSU, No. 11 South Carolina, No. 16 Ole Miss, No. 17 Kentucky, No. 20 Mississippi State and No. 25 Vanderbilt.

Arkansas will host Northwestern State twice in the midweek before a three-game home series against Auburn this weekend. The Tigers (22-19, 7-11 SEC) are currently in last place in the SEC West.
