In the past previous 29 years, Campbellsville has won a combined 20 Mid-South Conference regular season or tournament championships – the most by any institution in the MSC. The Tigers are also coming off a 2018 NCCAA World Series title and just won their second-straight Mid-South Conference Tournament Championship in May.

Coach Sanders has been a part of every championship that has come through Tiger Town and currently holds the all-time wins mark for head coaches in the state of Kentucky – which he is two wins away from 1200 total (1198-845).

Thanks to alumni and administration support, HIG Field has seen many upgrades over the past 12 years. Phase 1 and 2 of the maroon stadium seating were completed in the fall of 2012 and fall of 2018, respectively, which included 330 chair back seats.

Other upgrades include the addition of lights in 2010 and a quarter million-dollar renovation of HIG Field in 2008 that now has the complex fitted with state-of-the-art sunk-in dugouts, an underground media center and control room, and elevated seating that holds 1,000 fans. On top of the stadium improvements, the playing surface is professional quality. To go along with field improvements under the Sanders regimen, the baseball program has also seen the implementation of a pro-style club house/locker room that is fully loaded with over 60 open lockers and a lounge area. The club house is also equipped with cable television, coach's offices, laundry services, a weight room, and it sits inside the Hawkins Athletic Complex. In 2004, the completion of the indoor training facility took place so the players may have a quality practice facility on cold or rainy days. The astroturf facility is 10,000 square feet, equipped with high ceilings, drop down hitting tunnels, and is big enough to do modified intersquads.
