Already a busy place, Pullman Park is getting a little busier.

Two college baseball tournaments have been added to the Butler ballpark over the next four years. The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Tournament will be played there in May of 2012 and 2014.

The USCAA Baseball Small College World Series will come to Butler in early May of 2013 and 2015.

“We’re always trying to bring more quality baseball to Pullman Park and these two certainly fit the bill,” said Dess Schnur, director of stadium operations. “And the schedule broke perfectly.”

The NCAA Division II PSAC Tournament — featuring the top eight of the 14-team league in a double-elimination format — has been played all over the state. Williamsport, Scranton, Boyertown, Lancaster and Slippery Rock have been some of its previous homes.

The tourney was played in Johnstown last year.

“Since we’ve gone to an eight-team format and we’ve got a tight window in which to get it done, we need to play that tournament on turf,” PSAC Commissioner Steve Murray said. “We’ve only got so many options there.

“The WVIAC also uses Johnstown’s field for its tournament, but can also use a field in southern West Virginia. Over the next four years, we agreed to alternate each year over the next four with the WVIAC in using Johnstown’s facility.”

Murray said the PSAC opted for Pullman Park “because of its ability to get games in and its proximity to numerous member schools.

“And it’s not far from the interstate. It’s a very viable site for us,” Murray added.

The USCAA is a national organization for colleges with enrollment under 1,500. It houses 100 schools in all, 42 of which play baseball.

The top-10 ranked teams, via a coaches poll, qualify to play in the Small College World Series. Two conferences, including the PSUAC, receive automatic bids. It is also a double-elimination event.

Penn State-Greater Allegheny has played a handful of games at Pullman Park and brought the PSUAC tourney — involving all of Penn State’s branch campus teams — there last spring.

“We talked to the Pullman Park officials about putting in a bid for the national tournament and received plenty of support,” PSU-Greater Allegheny athletic director and baseball coach Jim Chester said.

The 2012 and 2014 Small College World Series will be played in Springfield, Ill., which also put in a bid to host the event.

The tournament has existed since 2001.

“It’s high-caliber baseball,” Schnur enthused. “We’re looking forward to both of these tournaments.”

From March 19 through Aug. 5 this year, Pullman Park hosted 162 baseball games. By mid-October, that total will rise to 190, weather-permitting.
