UMobile Baseball Coach Honored for 700th Win

University of Mobile (UMobile) head baseball coach Mike Jacobs was presented a plaque in the shape of home plate in recognition of his 700th career win at the university.

UMobile President Mark Foley made the presentation at the start of a March 25 game against William Carey University. The 700th win occurred March 4 when the Rams defeated crosstown rival Spring Hill College 7–3.

Jacobs was congratulated not only on his 700th win but also for a winning career as a man of faith and honor and a coach for life.

“Since coach Jacobs started the baseball program at the University of Mobile in 1990, he has not only produced a winning team — he has trained young men to be winners in life. His unwavering faith in God, commitment to excellence and love for his players as individuals mark coach Jacobs as a winner who inspires us all to believe in the best and have the confidence to achieve it,” the announcer said as Jacobs was presented the commemorative home plate.
