Varsity baseball was played at Idaho through the 1980 season,[3] primarily in the northern division of the Pacific Coast Conference. During the first six years of the Big Sky Conference, the Vandals won four titles under two head coaches, Wayne Anderson (1964, 1966)[5] and John G. Smith (1967, 1969).[6][7][8]
The 1966 and 1969 teams advanced to within one round of the College World Series, falling in the District 7 finals, today's "Super-Regionals" (Sweet 16).
