History
The Tommies formerly competed in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in NCAA Division III from 1920 to 2021. In baseball, they won 38 titles in the conference. They competed for the NCAA Division III championship on five occasions, winning two titles in 2001 and 2009.[2][3][4]
It was announced in the summer of 2020 that they had received permission by the NCAA for a move to Division I for the 2021-2022 season, a move that skipped Division II that no program had ever done before. They are the second of two Division I teams for baseball in the state of Minnesota.[5]
