History

Early History

While the true date of origin for the team is unknown, the earliest confirmed season of play was during the 1902 season under head coach Billy Disch. The team was disbanded and reinstated several times during its early history, notably disbanding from 1909-1920 and from 1931-1947. From it's formation until 1928 the team remained independent and unaffiliated with any athletic conference. Following this period, they were members of the Texas Conference from 1928 until 1952. In the early history of the program the baseball team remained comparatively undistinguished with no conference tournament or regular season championships during this time. [1]

Present Era

The team left the Texas conference following the 1952 season to join the Big State Conference during Brother Folen's tenure as head coach. It switched to the Heart of Texas conference in 1987, then again to the Heartland Conference in 1999 where the team won six consecutive conference tournament championships and four regular season championships between the years of 2013 and 2018 under head coach Rob Penders. The team also made 6 NCAA Division II tournament appearances during this same time period.[ citation needed ] However, in 2021 Penders was fired on allegations of racism against players following which Penders filed a bias lawsuit against the university. In 2024, Penders dropped the suit and settled with the university following two independent investigations that concluded he did not discriminate against two players named in the original allegations. [2] [3]

Stadium

The Hilltoppers play at Lucian-Hamilton Field, named in honor of former athletic director Lucian Blersch and former baseball coach Tom Hamilton. [4]
