BALTIMORE, MD - The Johns Hopkins baseball team fell six spots to 11th in the latest American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division III poll released on Monday. The Blue Jays (17-4) received 156 points and are the lone Centennial Conference school in the top-30.

Hopkins, which also fell to second in the Mid-Atlantic region, posted a 5-2 record since the previous poll on March 31. The Blue Jays defeated Dickinson twice (14-5 & 11-4), topped Catholic 13-2 in non-conference action and swept a doubleheader against Swarthmore (4-3 & 23-8) to stretch its winning streak to eight games. JHU was then swept by Franklin & Marshall in a doubleheader (2-1 & 2-1) in its only games last week.

Hopkins returns to action Tuesday as the Blue Jays travel to face McDaniel in a Centennial Conference contest at 3:30 p.m.
