They then went on to win the Atlantic Regional of the 1990 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, earning a berth in the 1990 College World Series. During the regular season, The Citadel won 26 consecutive games, the longest of any team in the 1990 season.^[3] The Bulldogs were ranked #6 in the final Collegiate Baseball poll.
