MCPHERSON, KS. - McPherson College President Michael Schneider announced Friday the school's plan to begin a baseball program with play scheduled to begin in the spring 2011.
"We are excited about the growth opportunities that baseball presents for the athletic department," said McPherson athletic director Jenni Richardson. "As McPherson College grows the athletic department wants to continue to be supportive of the strategic direction of the institution and baseball will allow us the opportunity to support enrollment growth initiatives."
The addition of the baseball program will push the number of intercollegiate sports at McPherson to 15. For the first season, McPherson will play an abbreviated conference only schedule with a full set of games to be played in 2012.
McPherson will join Kansas Wesleyan University, Tabor College, Bethany College, Ottawa University, Sterling College, Friends University and the University of Saint Mary to make eight schools within the KCAC that currently participate in baseball.
