Then – Baseball Season, 1894
The University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder played its first intercollegiate baseball game in the spring of 1890. Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô defeated the Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô School of Mines, 5-4, in Boulder. This photograph shows the Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô squad in 1894.
Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô baseball played its final game on May 6, 1980, a 15-4 loss to Northern Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô. Five weeks later, the university eliminated varsity baseball and six other sports amid budget cuts and Title IX commitments.
In its 90-year history, Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô-Boulder’s baseball team established a winning record of 819 victories, 614 losses and 5 ties — and sat for some delightful pictures.
