Baseball begins its 40th season on the Northampton campus steeped in tradition, thanks to two baseball icons. Longtime athletic director Bill Bearse guided the Spartans from 1973-80, compiling a 118-52 record, winning the Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference (EPCC) tournament in 1979. John Sweeney took the reigns of the program in 1995 and compiled a staggering 454 wins by the time he retired in 2007. The program has won 21 EPCC championships and five Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association (PCAA) state titles.
Baseball entered a new era in 2008-09 under Lehigh Valley coaching staple Adrian Yaguez, as the Spartans joined the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and Region XIX. The Spartans finished 8-12 overall and 7-9 in Region XIX, missing the playoffs by one game. Outfielder Keith Sacarakis was honored for his outstanding play by being named a recipient of the ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove Award, while outfielder Dan Fiske was named a NJCAA Academic All-American.
