Duke baseball slipped three spots but remained in the top 10 of the latest USA TODAY Sports Baseball Coaches Poll.

Duke dropped from No. 6 to No. 9 in the newest poll after it dropped two out of three against a ranked Florida State team. The Blue Devils are now 30-14 on the season and 14-10 in ACC play.

Duke dropped its first two games against the Seminoles before run-ruling them in the third game, 16-4.

Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Tennessee completed an all-SEC top three. The Blue Devils’ tumble made them the third-highest-ranked ACC team behind FSU, who took Duke’s former spot at No. 6, and No. 4 Clemson.

Duke will take on Longwood in a two-game series before a top-10 matchup against No. 5 East Carolin this coming weekend.
