Centenary is coming off one of its best seasons in program history as the Maroon and White captured the 2022 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship with a 10-5 victory over nationally-ranked Trinity University last May in Cleburne, Texas to earn their second NCAA Championship berth. The Diamond Gents were swept on the road by LaGrange College in their first NCAA appearance since 2017.
The preseason expectations, as always, are lofty for the Maroon and White as the Diamond Gents check in at #36 in Collegiate Baseball's D-3 Preseason Poll and stellar sophomore LHP Tyler Herrera (Spring, Texas) was named to the D3baseball.com Preseason All-America team as a First Team selection last week.
Centenary finished 27-19 last season, 14-7 in SCAC play during the regular season, and went 3-1 in the SCAC Championship. The 27 wins are the third-most in a single season in the division III era (2012-present) and the Maroon and White are an impressive 57-30 over the last two seasons and 28-14 in conference play. Centenary entered the NCAA Tournament having won 11 of 13 games and finished 21-9 since starting the season 6-8. Centenary is an amazing 33-8 on its home field over the last two seasons.
