Louisiana Tech enjoyed another great week on the diamond last week when it went on the road and swept Rice.

The Bulldogs outscored the Owls 46-16 over the four-game series.

Tech is now ranked 13th in the country by Perfect Game and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Let's take a look at the movement the Bulldogs saw in some national statistics.

In the last column, you'll see a "-" or a "+" when comparing their ranking to last week.

When a team averaged nearly 12 runs per game over a 4-game span, the offensive numbers are going to explode and that's exactly what happened.

A number of Bulldogs continue to perform exceptionally on an individual basis as well.
