Regular season

The Huskies played their first night home game in program history on February 14, 2025.

This season was notable for the program in that their home field, Husky Field, could only support daytime games prior to 2025. This changed when lights were installed and powered around the ballpark in January. ^[6] History was set on February 14, 2025 in game two of a doubleheader against Central Michigan when Houston Christian played their first night home game in program history, winning 5–0 over the Chippewas. The Huskies would begin Southland Conference play by sweeping Incarnate Word and winning two of three against McNeese State. Conference play success continued in late-March with series wins over UTRGV and Stephen F. Austin. Their momentum continued from early to mid-April with Southland series wins over Nicholls and Northwestern State. The Huskies were tied with two other teams for first place in the conference following the conclusion of the Northwestern State series.

However, after an April 15 midweek loss to Texas State, the Huskies would face their first adversity by suffering a three-game sweep to New Orleans. Their woes would continue with a home series loss to Southeastern Louisiana. HCU would end April on a high note with a midweek non-conference victory at home versus Tarleton State and by winning two of three to Southland opponent Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at home to begin May. Lamar would sweep the Huskies to end regular season conference play.

Having been picked to finish 10th of 11 in the Southland Conference Preseason Poll, Houston Christian exceeded expectations by achieving sixth place and qualifying for the Southland Conference Tournament for the first time since 2022. They had their first winning conference record in a full season since 2018 and their first winning season since 2017, which was guaranteed on May 13 with a victory over Sam Houston State. HCU baseball also achieved their first 30-win season since 2013. ^[7]

Postseason

The Huskies qualified for the Southland Conference Tournament for the first time since 2022. They played the first part of the tournament at UTRGV in the Edinburg Bracket as the #6 overall seed. They upset Lamar with a 6–3 victory in the first round considering the Cardinals swept them only one week prior. HCU won the next two games against the host UTRGV Vaqueros to advance to the SLC Championship Series. In the Hammond Bracket hosted by Southeastern Louisiana, #8-seed New Orleans defeated Northwestern State in the semifinal round. Houston Christian hosted the best-of-three championship series as they were the highest remaining series. The Huskies won game one, 8–3, against New Orleans (who swept HCU in the regular season series) by jumping out to a 7–0 lead, which included a five-run fourth. Husky Field's 25-year-old attendance record was broken in this game with 543 spectators coming out for the night game. Game two featured a shootout as the Huskies played as the away team despite the series being played at Husky Field. The Huskies won, 16–11, despite two four-run innings achieved by the Privateers in the third and eighth innings, clinching the Southland Conference Tournament championship for the first time since 2015. This game broke the previous night's attendance with 563 spectators.

Houston Christian qualified for the NCAA Division I Regional for the first time since 2015. They competed in the Austin Regional, hosted by the University of Texas, as the #4 and bottom seed. They lost to the host Longhorns, 7–1, in game one on May 30. They would also lose to #3-seed Kansas State the following day by a score of 7–3, ending their season.
