GCSU Baseball Named #2 in Preseason National Poll
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – On the strength of a 53-12 season a year ago and solid core of returners, the Georgia College & State University baseball team was selected No. 2 in the Collegiate Baseball Magazine Division II Preseason Poll.
Back are formidable seniors in 2006 Second Team All-American Michael Antonini (Aston, Pa./Cardinal O’Hara/Gloucester County College) on the mound, All-Region performer Daniel Heflin (Topeka, Kan./Topeka West/Johnson County C.C./Armstrong Atlantic State Univ.) at first base and captains Justin Mills (Ivey, Ga./John Milledge Academy) and Casey Cullen (Dublin, Ga./Dublin/Middle Georgia Coll.) in the outfield.
The Bobcats kick off the 2007 season at No. 1 University of Tampa, Friday, Feb. 2 at 3 p.m. The home portion of the GCSU schedule begins Friday, Feb. 16 at 5 p.m. against North Greenville College.

Analysis: Despite a 53-12 record last year, the GC&SU Bobcats fell short of their ultimate goal: reaching the NCAA Division II World Series. This year, though, head coach Chris Calciano and his charges hope to reach that goal of making the trip to Montgomery, Ala. Perhaps an early season test at top-ranked and defending national champion Tampa will give the Bobcats just how good they might be.
