The team, a member of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (of which they are the current defending champions), plays their home games at Alumni Field. In the NECBL, they are consistently one of the top teams and have reached the league playoffs in each of the past ten seasons. The team also has one of the largest fan bases in the league.

This attendance is facilitated by Alumni Field's having the largest official capacity of any NECBL ballpark.

Famous quotes containing the words swamp and/or bats:
“To warm the frozen swamp as best it could
With the slow smokeless burning of decay.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
