DE PERE - St. Norbert College baseball coach Tom Winske has resigned in order to accept an assistant coaching position at Central Michigan University.

Winske departs St. Norbert as the coach with the most wins in Midwest Conference baseball history, posting a 444-287-1 record in 20 seasons. The Green Knights appeared in five NCAA Division III Tournaments and won four MWC championships under Winske's leadership. The Green Knights won 30 games in 2017, the most wins for a St. Norbert men's sports team.

Winske will be an assistant at Central Michigan University, a Division I school located in Mount Pleasant. St. Norbert alumnus Jordan Bischel (Class of 2003) was named head coach of the Chippewas in June.

"It is with mixed emotions I accept Tom's resignation," St. Norbert athletics director Tim Bald said. "He has had many great seasons and has provided a quality experience for many student-athletes during his time here. These opportunities do not come around often, especially with someone you are familiar with. While we are sad for us, we are very happy for Tom and his opportunity."

Bald said a search for a replacement will begin immediately.
