The Beacons competed in the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship five times before 1970.

After returning in 2012 for the first time in 44 years, the Beacons' first round game was almost delayed an additional day, because the preceding game was the second-longest in NCAA tournament history.

[2] The Beacons game against the Purdue Boilermakers began at approximately 10:40 pm only 20 minutes before a curfew.

The 2012 Beacons team tied a school record with 35 wins.

[4] The Beacons are coached by Brian Schmack and play their home games at Emory G. Bauer Field.
