ACU baseball team ranked No. 11 in nation
The Abilene Christian University Wildcats will begin the 2009 baseball season ranked No. 11 in the nation, according to the Collegiate Baseball magazine NCAA Division II preseason poll that was released last week.
ACU finished 44-17 last season (topping the 40-win mark for the 10th time in Bonneau's tenure) and won the Lone Star Conference regular-season title with a 35-7 conference record. The Wildcats finished as the runner-up at the LSC Post-Season Tournament for the third straight season, falling to sixth-seeded Texas A&M-Kingsville. The Wildcats, who advanced to the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament for the seventh time in Bonneau's career at ACU, have not won the LSC championship since 2002.
