3 HEAD COACH MIKE SANSING Since being hired in the fall of 1991 on the campus of Kennesaw State University, Mike Sansing has been nothing short of remarkable. The winningest head coach in the school s rich baseball history, Sansing has led the Owls to seven national tournaments, including a pair of national titles, winning the NAIA title in 1994 and earning the 1996 NCAA Division II crown. The skipper continued his storied career in 2015, winning his 1,000th career game on March 27 against USC Upstate in a 5-0 triumph, lifting Sansing to the prestigious milestone. Sansing was a finalist at the Atlanta Sports Awards for Coach of the Year honors and led several players to postseason awards, including Jordan Hillyer and Travis Bergen to First Team All-Conference selections, and Taylor Allum named to the Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-American Team. Sansing s career record now stands at 1, for a.654 winning percentage in 27 years of collegiate coaching, which included a three-year stint as the head coach at Shorter College from where he won 102 games. He also has compiled a (.650) overall record at Kennesaw State since his arrival in 1992, winning his 900th game at KSU s skipper on March 31, 2015 against Western Carolina in a 9-2 victory. In the historic 2014 season, Sansing led the Owls to a slew of firsts, bringing home the first Atlantic Sun Conference Championship in program history with a 7-1 victory over Lipscomb, taking the school s first ever NCAA MIKE SANSING Head Coach 25th Year West Georgia 1984 Division I Regional title and a trip to the Super Regional round in Louisville. The program s longest tenured head coach, Sansing has guided the Owls move in the NCAA from Division II to Division I and has successfully moved Kennesaw State into a full-fledged DI member with relative ease. During the mandatory four-year reclassification period, Sansing s squads have produced 116 wins, two second-place conference finishes and has had eight players selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, while coaching 24 A-Sun All-Conference selections. In 1994, as a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, Sansing s Owls defeated Southeastern Oklahoma for the institution s first ever team national championship. In 1996, as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Sansing s Owls defeated St. Joseph s (Ind.) for the Division II crown.

In addition to the two national championships, Sansing has also led the Owls to a pair of national runner-up finishes, five regional titles, four conference regular season championships, three conference tournament championships, one district regular season title and one district championship. A plethora of accolades have been bestowed upon Sansing since his arrival at Kennesaw State in In January of 2009, Sansing earned a prestigious honor of being inducted into the Georgia Dugout Club Base THE SANSING FILE Birthdate June 30, 1961 Hometown Atlanta, Ga.
