Murray State’s Dan Skirka and his unlikely rise from juco assistant to College World Serie
Mired in nine years without a winning season, the Murray State baseball community pondered its plight in 2018. The Racers were down. And to many constituents, little belief existed in their ability to get up.
“Over time, Murray State just kinda froze,” said Matt Kelly, an administrator in athletics at the school since 2004. “People looked at the state of our athletic department — not just baseball — and they thought, ‘We need so many things and we’ll never be able to do that.’ So they just didn’t do any of it.”
