Hall of Fame
The 1977 baseball team earned a program-record 25-6 mark and advanced to the NAIA World Series. The team won the NAIA District 31 for the third consecutive season, earning a bid to the Area 8 Tournament. Head Coach Bob Sprague guided the Hawks to wins over George Mason (twice) and Indiana University of Pennsylvania to advance to the NAIA College World Series. The 25 wins at the time set a program record which wasn't broken until 1998. Outfielder Will Puentes led the Hawks on the diamond, earning NAIA Second Team All-America honors while a total of five players were selected to the NAIA Area 8 All-Tournament team.
