Evansville Purple Aces baseball

The Purple Aces play all home games on German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium.

Since then they have competed in four NCAA Division I baseball tournaments and have won one regional championship.

John Harmon was hired as the first head coach of the then-Evansville College Pioneers.

Their first game was against Bethel College, which led to a 5–4 Pioneers victory, marking their first in school history.

In 1946, Emerson Henke was hired as the head coach to reconstruct the Purple Aces baseball program.

In their return season, Henke led the team to a 0–5 record before being fired at the end of the year.

After finishing 5–6–1 in 1949 and 6–5 in 1950, Evansville joined the Indiana Collegiate Conference (ICC) before the start of the 1951 season.

In his first season, the Aces compiled a 3–8 record while playing some low-level non-conference opponents.

The following season, Daviess' group regressed to 4–9 but played slightly better than the previous years.

For this, the Aces got an automatic berth to the 1975 NCAA Division II Mideast Regional.

In 1980, Evansville made a risky decision by hiring former Illinois State baseball player Jim Brownlee as their next head coach.

Before the 1981 season, Evansville joined the Midwestern City Conference (MCC) – now known as the Horizon League – in hopes of better competition.

Brownlee was named MCC Coach of the Year and Pat Heck won MCC Player of the Year, marking the first time in school history that a coach or player won such awards.

It has been the home stadium of the University of Evansville Purple Aces baseball team since 1999.
