All these colleges play in the MIAA, a D3 conference in Michigan with a couple of Indiana schools.
In the first decade of the 2000's Hope, Calvin and Albion usually fought for the conference championship. Last 3 years it has been all Adrian. It looks like Adrian will be good again this year.
Here are some links I included snippets from each article:

Noce has a California connection. His father was the coach at San Mateo JC and introduced me to International Baseball.
Adrian was my birthplace until I graduated from MSU and observed the Rose Bowl and Southern California, palm trees, Pacific Ocean and never returned, except our MSU baseball reunions. Our team won the Big Ten and played in the College World Series.
