History

[edit]

Albany's baseball program played its first season in 1958. After spending several decades in Division III, it began the transition to Division I in the mid-1990s along with the school's other teams.

Division I

[edit]

It played its first season in Division I in 2000, also hiring head coach Jon Mueller that year. After competing as an independent in 2000 and in the New York State Baseball Conference in 2001, it played its first season in the America East in 2002. In 2004, the Great Danes set a program record with 37 wins and reached their first Division I postseason, going 1–2 at that season's America East tournament. In 2007, the team won the AEC tournament as the third seed to reach its first NCAA tournament at any level. As the fourth seed at the Fayetteville Regional, Albany went 0–2, losing 9–0 to host Arkansas and 21–11 to second seed Creighton.[3]
