Southern Arkansas Baseball Camps

Walker Stadium at Goodheart Field has been the home of the Mulerider baseball program since the 1960s. Annually, Walker Stadium at Goodheart Field provides one of the best collegiate baseball atmospheres among NCAA Division II stadiums in the region. That atmosphere has played a huge role in the program’s successes in Magnolia.

The stadium has been completely transformed throughout the years with multiple major developments coming over the past decade which includes stadium and playing surface upgrades, new scoreboard installation and the completion of the Johnson-Dawson Player Development Facility.

After receiving a $500,000 challenge grant from the Willard and Pat Walker Charitable Foundation, the University raised an additional $500,000 to complete the stadium in 2010. The new facilities included an updated and more spacious press box with multiple radio booths, concession stand, player locker room, coaches’ offices, and public restrooms in addition to a crowded trophy case visible upon entry into the stadium.

On October 15, 2011, less than a year after the stadium renovations, the playing surface was officially changed from Mulerider Field and named in honor of longtime Southern Arkansas head baseball coach Steve Goodheart who spent 23 seasons (1981-2003) leading the program. During that time, he amassed 764 wins, nine AIC championships, including six consecutive from 1986-1991, eight NAIA District 17 titles and two area championships in addition to leading the 1983, 1987 and 1991 teams to the NAIA World Series.
