 DeMarini
Sports—the world-leader in bat technology—has launched
a two-barreled approach to satisfying college baseball's
top hitters. Rather than following a one-bat-fits-all philosophy,
DeMarini has released a pair of top-tier bats, each of which
accentuates a different hitting style. New for 2006, the
DeMarini Voodoo emphasizes power with an
SC·3 Structure Control Alloy barrel, while the updated 2006
DeMarini Vexxum employs a DX·1 Alloy barrel
for better balance and more aggressive bat speed. Both bats
are available now at select sporting goods dealers nationwide
and through the Wilson-DeMarini Team Purchase Program.
The Voodoo and Vexxum are currently being used by 90-plus
college programs including Arizona State, New Mexico State,
Lamar and Winthrop. Both bats are built with DeMarini's
Half & Half technology, a proprietary, two-piece system
that flexes and recoils with a burst of ball-launching
energy.

DURHAM, N.C.-Georgia Tech becomes the third team to hold the No. 1 position in Baseball America's weekly college baseball rankings this season. The Yellow Jackets have the nation's longest winning streak at 13 games.
Mississippi State, the only other team in the nation that has won every game it has played, moved to No. 6. Nebraska swept through the Dairy Queen Classic in Minneapolis, Minn., to improve to 8-2 and move up to No. 14 in a week where several teams in the middle of the rankings struggled.
Texas A&M became the first team to win a nonconference series at Florida since 2000 and joined the rankings at No. 20. Florida, which has lost five of its last seven games, slipped 10 spots to No. 15. Arizona State and Cal Poly each rejoined the rankings after weekend series victories.
Kansas makes its 2006 debut in the Top 25 at No. 25 following a 3-0 week and 13-4 start. The Jayhawks last were ranked in March 2003.
The staff of Baseball America determines the Top 25 rankings. Records indicated are through games of March 5 and do not include ties.
