Nevertheless, new head coach Brad Hill and the 1995 Mules established their own identity. They breezed through the MIAA schedule with a 19-1 record, then went through the MIAA Tournament undefeated. They also won the NCAA Central Regional in three straight games and earned a return trip to the Division II Championship in Montgomery, Ala.

After an opening game loss to Georgia College, the Mules rebounded with two more wins before bowing out to eventual national champion Florida Southern College and finishing third. Their 49-10 record was the second best in school history, topped only by the 51-11 mark of the previous year.

Senior pitcher Bob Poisal (pronounced POY-zull) had a sensational season, producing a 13-3 record with eight complete games and three shutouts. He received virtually every possible post-season honor. He was the MIAA MVP, Central Region pitcher of the year, a first-team All-America selection and a first-team Academic All-American. He capped his season by receiving the Ken B. Jones Award as the MIAA's male student-athlete of the year. Hill was voted Central Region coach of the year in his first season. The Mules set or tied 11 MIAA records and 19 school records.
