KENNESAW, Ga. – Fifty-five games, including 35 at Stillwell Stadium, highlight the 2018 Kennesaw State baseball schedule, which has been announced by head coach Mike SansingMonday.
The winningest head coach in program history, and now entering his 27th year at the helm, Sansing leads the Owls fresh off a third-place finish in the 2017 ASUN Championship and a 25-32 overall record.
