Harris
Field has been home to one of the most accomplished collegiate
teams in the history of baseball, and to some of the most
memorable moments in the history of the NAIA World Series. After
years of baseball being played in cow pastures and back yards,
Harris Field, slowly evolving and improving through the efforts
of players, coaches, and volunteers, began to take its current
shape in the 1970s. It was named after a prominent Lewiston
business man and baseball enthusiast of the 1930s, Loyd Harris.
Harris was known as “Mr. Baseball”, and it was through his
efforts that Lewiston has become the baseball town that it is
today. Although it has a seating capacity of only 5,000, Harris
Field offers one of the most exciting and enjoyable ways to
watch college baseball. The record attendance was set in 2008
when 5,530 fans came out to watch the NAIA World Series
championship game. From the first pitch in February to the NAIA
World Series games in late May, Harris Field and the easygoing
small town atmosphere of the Lewis-Clark Valley give baseball
fans a pleasant and memorable experience.
