Northwest Florida State College’s Head Baseball Coach, Doug Martin, celebrated his 500th win as the Raiders’ skipper this weekend in Tallahassee. The team split a two-game series with Tallahassee Community College over the weekend.
The team would get Martin’s 500th win with a statement 10-0 victory over the Eagles.
Martin has served as the team’s head coach since 2008 and won a national championship with the team in 2015. He also won three Panhandle Championships and a Region VIII Championship.
He boasts a record of 500-268-1 since he took over The Raiders clubhouse, a 65% win rate.
The Raiders are 28-12 overall this season and 13-7 in conference play. They are within striking distance of winning the Panhandle Championship for a fourth time under Martin—They are a single game ahead of Chipola College for that honor.
The Raiders have just two series left—a four-game home and away series against a badly battered Pensacola State College team that’s playing with fewer than 15 men due to a series of unfortunate injuries down the stretch.
You can catch the Raiders at home field on Tuesday at 5:00 PM and again on Thursday at 5:00 PM.
PSC started the season 25-3 but has taken a seven-game losing slide that began March 28.
