The Georgia College baseball team has enjoyed a long
history of excellence. The program was
started in 1969 and has since grown into a
national contender.
The Bobcats are ranked among the national
elite nearly every year and have made seven
trips to the NCAA Tournament (1995, 1997,
2000, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007) including the College World
Series in 1995 where the team finished as the
National Runner-Up.
The GCSU baseball team enjoyed its early
success while part of the NAIA, making two
trips to the World Series in 1984 and 1985
under legendary head coach John Kurtz, for
whom the baseball field is now named. Kurtz skippered the GCSU program for 18
years from 1976 to 1993, amassing 577 wins.
The success continued under Steve Mrowka from 1994-2004 where the team enjoyed
more national success in the NCAA. After
Mrowka came Chris Calciano as the Bobcats won
their first two Peach Belt Conference
Championships in 2006 and 2007. Tom Carty
took over the head coaching reigns for the
2008 season with a depth of experience and a
solid foundation as assistant for the
previous
two seasons.
Kurtz Field is a fan-friendly environment
allowing fans to enjoy the game from
seat-back chairs behind home plate, or a
picnic style atmosphere on the third base
hill.
