STATESBORO, Ga. – Before the series opener against Georgia Southern, Kermit Smith shuffled his lineup. The result was an explosive night at the plate, helping the Mountaineers' Head Coach to his 600th career victory – a 10-7 win over the Eagles at J.I. Clements Stadium.
Prior to his arrival in Boone, Smith won 244 games at Lander and 228 at Belmont Abbey, taking each program to the Division II College World Series. He has since won 128 games in seven seasons with the Mountaineers, trailing only Jim Morris (611) and Chris Pollard (244) on the App State wins list.
