# 2024 North Dakota State Bison baseball team

The 2024 North Dakota State Bison baseball team represented North Dakota State University during the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Bison played home games at Newman Outdoor Field on NDSU's campus. The team was coached by third year head coach Tyler Oakes. The Bison finished the season with a 20–30–1 overall record and a 14–12–1 record, which was good for third in the Summit League. NDSU made the Summit League tournament as the second seed, since regular season winner St. Thomas was ineligible, and played Oral Roberts in the first round. The Bison would fall to the Golden Eagles, defeat top-seeded Omaha in the first elimination game, but fell to Northern Colorado in extra innings in the second elimination game.

## Previous season

The Bison finished the 2023 season with a 23–30 overall record, and a 16–7 record in the Summit League - which was good for second in the league. In the Summit League tournament, which was the first tournament NDSU had held at Newman Outdoor Field in the Division I era, the Bison lost to South Dakota State, beat Omaha, but fell to South Dakota State again in the final elimination game.
