History

Carthage College baseball was only the second team in organized baseball, and also the only collegiate team ever to play and win four games in one day. The Redmen were able to accomplish this feet on May 18 1970 when they were able to take two games Illinois Wesleyan University by the scores of 12-3 and 6-5, and by taking two more games from North Park College by the scores of 5-0 and 2-0. Since this sweep Carthage had played more quadruple headers but were never able to sweep all four games from their opponents again. All in all its a great part of Carthage baseball history and there will be plenty of more history being made in the future.
