The Rochester baseball team topped a record-setting season with a program milestone when the Yellowjackets hosted NCAA Division III playoff games on its home field for the first time in late May.

The second-seeded Yellowjackets put on a display of scoring by bringing in 19 runs over two games at Towers Field at the Brian F. Prince Athletic Complex, but the production wasn’t enough for Rochester to advance beyond the regional round of the tournament.

Back-to-back losses ended Rochester’s season at 31–13, which marked a single-season record for wins for the program. The games marked the sixth time that the Yellowjackets have made the NCAA tournament. It also was the third straight playoff appearance for the team, also a program record.
