Anderson University Baseball

Dear Trojan Army, 

Greetings from Anderson University Baseball!  On behalf of our Trojans, I would like to thank you for supporting our mission of providing an exceptional academic and athletic experience for our student-athletes.

As the Baseball coach, your generosity ensures that each student-athlete can have fun, explore their faith, form relationships, and build accountability within their teams.  Additionally, Anderson University Athletics continually leads the South Atlantic Conference in academic standing and consistently breaks school records in competition and in the classroom each year!

Over the last few years, gifts to the Trojan Athletic Fund and Baseball has supported us as we have continued to improve and make waves in the SAC. We won eight of our first ten games, including an upset of then eight-ranked North Greenville in 2020, and we are off to the best start to a season in over twenty years so far in 2022. 

Anderson University Baseball thanks you and we look forward to seeing you at our games soon!

Go Trojans!
