About Baseball
St. Norbert College baseball dates back to its inaugural season in 1958. Our first season in the Midwest Conference was 1983 and the Green Knights "9" moved to the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference for the 2022 season. The Green Knights have won six MWC titles and have advanced to five NCAA Division III Tournaments.
We play our home games at Larry Van Alstine Field at Mel Nicks Sports Complex in De Pere, with occasional games at Joannes Stadium in Green Bay.
