The 2015 season was a banner year for the Truman Baseball team as they set a program record for wins with 35 and made the program's sole run to the College World Series.

Truman started the season at Oklahoma Panhandle State, and the first game of the season had drama that would foreshadow a dramatic season. Truman led 7-2 after three innings, but the hosts rallied and eventually tied the game with a four run bottom of the ninth. In the top of the tenth, Paul Trenhaile walked to lead off and then stole second. He came around to score as Blake Deaton reached on an error. Deaton stole second, then advanced to third on a groundout before scoring on a wild pitch. Truman took game one 10-8, and then swept the series.

The Bulldogs won their first six games by virtue of sweeping four from OPSU and then winning the first two against Illinois Springfield. In the third game between the two, the Prairie Stars got the better of the Bulldogs 5-4 in eight innings in game one of a doubleheader.

Later, with a mark of 7-2, the Bulldogs went to Evansville, Ind. to take on #6 Southern Indiana. In the first game of the series the Bulldogs trailed 3-2 entering the seventh when they exploded for five runs over the next two innings. In the seventh T.J. Wood led off with a single, then stole second. Zak Larkin singled to move Wood to third, then stole second. Wood scored on single by Dave Gambino then Larkin scored on a sac lineout by Deaton. Wyatt Fones came around with two outs after a fielding error, Larkin singled to bring Wood in and Larkin scored on a double by Jarod Hahn. The Bulldogs prevailed 7-5 after a ninth inning rally by the Screaming Eagles fell short. Ultimately, Truman swept the series—winning 14-5 and 7-1 in a doubleheader Sunday and then 10-7 on Monday.

Truman finally played their first home series of the season on March 21 as they hosted McKendree. The Bearcats took the first two games but Truman got the split by winning a doubleheader on Sunday the 22^nd. Truman then welcomed #25 Washburn to Kirksville and won 10-6.

After a 14-4 start to the season, the Bulldogs hot start faded as they went 8-8 over their next 16 games. But the Bulldogs rallied to win seven of their last 12 to finish the regular season with a mark of 29-17.

Going into the GLVC Tournament the Bulldogs were the 4 seed. They opened with a 7-2 win over Southern Indiana before falling to Quincy 6-4 then SIU 6-4 to bow out of the tournament.

In the first game if the Midwest Regional, Cody Gardner threw a complete game shutout against William Jewell in a 6-0 win. It was 1-0 before the Bulldogs exploded for five runs in the top of the seventh. The next day, Truman took on Drury and cruised to a 9-5 win as the Bulldogs went off for seven runs in the top of the second and never trailed.

The next day, Truman took on Drury again and got on the board first with two runs in the first two innings. In the first Gambino singled to right field to bring in Larkin. In the second Hahn came in on a single by Wood. Drury scored three unanswered runs, but Wood singled in Hahn again in the bottom of the sixth and then in the seventh Trenhaile scored on a throwing error then Gambino scored to make it a 5-3 game and that's how the game would finish.

Truman clinched its berth in the College World Series the next day with a victory over Ashland. With the game at 3-3 after the eighth, Larkin doubled with the bases loaded to bring in three runs and make it a 6-3 game, which was the eventual final.
