KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With Jeremiah Robbins back at the helm, Lewis-Clark State Baseball will open the 2026 season as the No. 21-ranked team in the NAIA. The Warriors finished the 2025 season as the Cascade Conference Tournament Champions.

LC State fell in the 2025 NAIA Baseball Opening Round, presented by a Avista, and finished the season with a 36-16 overall record. The Warriors return key pieces of the batting order in outfielder Noah Weintraub, infielder Izzy Madariaga and catcher Bulla Ephan, along with pitchers Jackson Cloud and Evan Canfield.

Robbins returns to the lead the Warriors after seven-year hiatus. He was inducted into the LC State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2025 after guiding LC State Baseball to three NAIA titles.

Warrior Baseball kicks off the 2026 season in February.

Around the Cascade Conference, British Columbia checked in at No. 10 after an appearance in the Avista NAIA World Series last season.
