Brittany Baker enters her second season as the Head Softball Coach at Lamar State College Port Arthur. Baker spent the 2023-2024 spring season as the Interim Head Coach after the retirement of long time head coach, Vance Edwards, in January of 2024. Baker had spent the previous six seasons as the assistant coach at LSCPA. Baker said, "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead the Seahawks Softball Program. I feel that we can take a huge step in the always tough Region XIV and am excited to get started. I'd like to thank Athletic Director Scott Street and President Dr. Betty Reynard for their confidence and the chance to lead this program!"

"Brittany was a natural choice," Street said. "She has been with us since the 2017 season and during that time, she has proven herself an accomplished and talented coach. I'm very happy with her decision to take on the head coaching duties."

Baker assisted longtime Seahawks Head Coach Vance Edwards for six seasons before Edwards announced his retirement just ahead of the 2023-2024 season. With Baker as assistant, the Seahawks reached their deepest run into the Region 14 conference tournament, making the championship game in the 2020-2021 season.

A graduate of Springboro High School in Ohio, Baker spent four years setting softball records at Bluffton University, a Division III school located in northwest Ohio. Her name is still scattered through the Beavers’ record book. During her time there, she had the most hits in a game, most runs batted in during a game and led her team in batting average during the 2014-15 campaign with a .330 mark. During her time at Bluffton, the Beavers had a 95-68 record over four seasons.

She is a two-time Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference honoree, earning first team honors in 2014. She was a four-time HCAC all-academic honoree.

Baker graduated from Bluffton as the 2015 Distinguished Scholar after earning the top grade point average in the Sports Management program.
