What UTSA Baseball accomplished in 2025 was so much more than some “Cinderella story.” It was a breakthrough. It was a proclamation that the American Athletic Conference, the state of Texas and college baseball at large will have to deal with these “junkyard dogs” from San Antonio for the foreseeable future.
UTSA notched wins over prestigious programs like Texas and Texas A&M early in the season before racing out to a huge lead in the American Athletic Conference standings and clinching the league’s regular-season championship with two full weeks left on the schedule.
UTSA’s regular season showing was impressive enough for the team to earn an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. After a decisive victory over Kansas State, the Roadrunners conquered the No. 2 Texas Longhorns — twice — to claim the NCAA Austin Regional Championship.
Earning a regional title and reaching the Super Regional round — college baseball’s version of the Sweet 16 — was a momentous achievement for Roadrunners Baseball, which had not reached the postseason since 2013 and had never previously won a regional game. Finishing with a 47–15 record, UTSA’s remarkable run captured the intrigue of baseball fans across the nation, opened eyes across the Lone Star State and filled Roadrunners everywhere with pride.
Here are 25 photos to commemorate a 2025 baseball season that Roadrunner Nation will cherish for years to come:
