MORE POLLS--The ‘Lopes fell from the West Region rankings last week, after appearing at No 10 in the preseason poll. Dixie enters tonight ranked fourth in the West Region in the NCBWA poll.

Then there is a three-game road trip to play Baseball America’s preseason No. 1 University of Tampa. Also on the schedule is a single game at Cal Poly Pomona.
