UCF baseball has cracked the national rankings for the fourth consecutive year, checking in at No. 22 in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper rankings.

The Knights(25-16, 12-3 The American) have won 18 out of their last 23 and currently reside at the top of the American Athletic Conference.

It is the 13th time that UCF has appeared in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper rankings in program history, with the highest ranking being No. 11 after a road sweep of Tulane in 2012.

The Knights found themselves in the rankings after topping No. 9 Louisville two out of three times at home last weekend. They will look to stay in the rankings this upcoming weekend when they take on Rutgers for a three game set at home.

First pitch is set for Friday at 6:30 p.m.
