In the spring of 1997, a Citadel official was quoted as saying the Bulldogs had three important things going for its baseball program: weather, tradition, and the best facility in college baseball. With the opening of the $19.5 million Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park on April 6, 1997, there is no question that The Citadel has at least those three items going for it. With seating for 6,000, Riley Park is named after the long-time Charleston mayor who is a 1964 graduate of The Citadel, Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Riley Park was designed by the firm that created Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Md., Coors Field in Denver, Col. and Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The Citadel and Western Carolina played the first-ever game at Riley Park in front of 3,854 fans. Ryan Butler’s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Bulldogs a 65, come-from-behind victory over the Catamounts for their first win in their new home. Since 1997, Riley Park has hosted the annual Southern Conference Baseball Tournament every season and has become one of the most attended college baseball tournaments
in the nation. The Citadel will host the SoCon Tournament for the 18th consecutive season this May 22-26, 2007. The single-game tournament attendance record of 5,419 was set in 2003 for an opening round game between The Citadel and the College of Charleston. The all-tournament attendance record was set in 2004 when more than 35,000 fans attended Riley Park, an average of 2,343 per game. Nearly 300,000 patrons have attended the 17 previous SoCon baseball tournaments held in Charleston. The most recent addition to Riley Park came in the Spring of 2006 when the City of Charleston, The Citadel and the RiverDogs collaborated to construct a new state-of-the-art video board in right field. During the 10 years The Citadel has called Riley Park home, the Bulldogs have finished in the top-35 in annual attendance eight times. In 2004, over 58,000 Bulldog fans streamed through the gates of Riley Park to set a new Citadel annual attendance record. Bulldog baseball also shares its home with Charleston’s minor league baseball team, the RiverDogs, a single-A South Atlantic League affiiliate of the New York Yankees.
Riley Park is more than a playing field for the Bulldogs. The Citadel’s clubhouse, affectionately named “Chal’s House” after legendary Citadel baseball coach Chal Port, provides individual lockers for each player, a full amenity bathroom facility, coaches’ lockerroom and office and meeting space. The Bulldog Hall of Fame that boasts players that have gone on to the professional ranks, along with The Citadel’s Wall of Champions, line the halls leading to the clubhouse. There are also exclusive tunnels that run to the batting cages and dugout as well as a sports medicine training room. The Dogs have enjoyed their home as they have accumulated a 218102 (.681) record at Riley Park and a 111-30 (.787) Southern Conference record, including four SoCon Tournament Championship crowns and two SoCon regular season titles. Prior to moving to the banks of the Ashley River, The Citadel played in historic College Park, which is now the Bulldogs’ practice facility. College Park was the home of both the Bulldogs and RiverDogs while also serving as the set for the movie Major League III: Back to the Minors and the local television drama Palmetto Pointe. Historic College Park is one of the top practice facilities in college baseball. It has four full-length batting tunnels, a tee and soft toss area, a bullpen area with five pitching rubbers, and a full-size clubhouse.
The Citadel Bulldog Clubhouse at Riley Park is affectionately named “Chal’s House” in honor of legendary Citadel coach Chal Port.

2007 Season Outlook 8
red Jordan is entering his 16th season as head coach of The Citadel baseball team. During his tenure, the Bulldogs have been a part of the Southern Conference Championship a combined 10 times and have advanced to the NCAA Regionals on six occasions. The 2007 club looks to continue The Citadel’s “Championship Tradition,” but will have to rely heavily on some young talent. The 2007 Citadel baseball team will look to the guidance of their veterans as top newcomers are going to be depended on to fill the roles vacated by the five starting position players the Bulldogs graduated in 2006. Among the fresh faces this season are 10 newcomers and hitting/outfield coach Stuart Lake. Lake joins The Citadel staff after serving as the hitting coach and outfield instructor at Ole Miss. Assistant coach David Beckley steps in to take over the duties of recruiting coordinator after former associate head coach Chris Lemonis took a position at Louisville. The Bulldogs are very optimistic about the 2007 season. The Dogs return All-Southern Conference performers Chris Swauger and Sonny Meade. Swauger made an excellent transition from first base to outfield last season and Meade is expected to make the move from designated hitter to right field this year. Chance Smith
and Graham Couch will compete for the role in center. Wes Wrenn and Matt Crim return out of the three weekend starters. Wrenn is expected to continue his duty as the Friday night starter after making 15 starts as a freshman. The Citadel’s top set-up man, Justin Smith, is expected to take on the role of the Saturday starter. That creates the issue of who is to take the mound before the Dogs’ leading stopper, Link Saunders, who returns after receiving national attention last season with his 15 saves, a new single-season record at The Citadel. Crim was the leading Sunday starter in 2006, and newcomer Matt Reifsnider is expected to see some time on the hill as well. Shortstop and four-year starter Matt Matulia was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2006 and second baseman Tripp Cappelmann graduated, leaving both spots open, while Matt Arnold and Zach Brown return at the corners. Sid Fallaw will provide some experience behind the plate, while freshmen Richard Jones and Matt Reifsnider could garner some time behind the dish as well. Despite the big holes to fill in 2007, the Diamond Dogs are confident that the leadership of their top veterans and the high quality of their new talent will again position The Citadel to be a major contender for the Southern Conference crown come May.
Postition-by-Position The following is a position-by-position look at the 2007 Citadel Bulldogs.... PITCHING The Bulldog pitching staff returns two of three weekend starters after Ryan Owens signed with the Houston Astros at the conclusion of the 2006 season. Senior Justin Smith is expected to move from the bullpen back to a starting role to fill the void left by Owens. Smith was one of the top set-up men in the Southern Conference last season and is coming off the best season of his career after finishing with a team-leading 3.14 ERA, the fourth lowest in the SoCon. Sophomores Wes Wrenn and Matt Crim also return to the hill after earning a spot in the starting rotation as freshmen. Wrenn proved to be an extremely reliable Friday night starter as he went at least 6.0 frames in every contest but one and threw two complete games. Crim saw action as the Sunday starter and recorded the best wonloss percentage of any Bulldog (.833). Sophomore Sonny Meade and freshman Matt Reifsnider could potentially see some starts on the mound as well. The Citadel will benefit from having a veteran handle the closing responsibilities as senior Link Saunders has proven to be the dominant stopper for the Bulldogs.
Saunders garnered national attention last season as he was named to the Stopper of the Year Watch List and finished the regular season second nationally in saves with 15. His league-leading 15 saves was also a new single-season record at The Citadel. The biggest question mark for the Bulldogs this season is who is going to pitch in mid-relief. With Smith taking on starting duties, the set-up role is open to many candidates. Senior Jamie Maxwell and freshman Nick Sprowls are two solid lefthanded options, while senior Stephen Williams, sophomores Brett Bull and Sid Fallaw, and freshmen Raymond Copenhaver, Chris Boyce and Kyle Jordan give a number of viable options to hopefully develop. Junior Tim Martin will have to overcome a back injury to see what role he will be able to handle on the mound.
INFIELD The toughest task for The Citadel this season will be establishing the middle infield. The Bulldogs return senior first baseman Zach Brown and junior third baseman Matt Arnold at the corners, but the Dogs have large holes to fill at shortstop as Matt Matulia was drafted by the Chicago Cubs last season and second baseman Tripp Cappelman graduated. Thankfully, the Bulldogs have a whole arsenal of young talent who are expected to step-up and make some big plays this season. Freshmen Kyle Jordan and Matt Simonelli are vying for a middle-infield position, while sophomores Bryan Altman and Conrad Kellahan are also in contention for the starting role. Altman has improved greatly after being redshirted last season and it will be difficult to keep his bat out of the lineup after his offensive performance in the fall. Kellahan is especially dangerous against right-handed pitching, while Jordan and Simonelli are both highly touted freshmen that have a chance to prove that they belong in the starting lineup. Sophomore Trey Thomas is continuously improving and adds some depth at third, while Altman may also garner some playing time at the hot corner depending on certain lineups. Expect to see freshman Chris McGuiness at first base if Brown is used on the hill.
CATCHING Sophomore Sid Fallaw returns behind the plate after splitting time with the departed Brady Mashak in 2006. His fall performance showed that he has improved in all aspects of his game, and if his clutch performance during the SoCon Tournament is any indication, The Citadel should expect big things from this young talent. The Bulldogs are also excited about freshmen Richard Jones and Matt Reifsnider. Both will get plenty of action, while Jones is also expected to take on the duties of designated hitter on occasion and Reifsnider will get time on the mound. Either way, with these three options behind the dish, The Citadel will be as consistent as they have been at catcher in a number of years.
OUTFIELD The Bulldogs look to replace former SoCon Freshman of the Year Trent Weathers in center and right fielder Matt Covington after both starters graduated last season. Junior Chance Smith is no stranger to the
outfield as he made 28 starts of his own in center last season. Smith and sophomore Graham Couch are expected to compete for the starting role but Couch will have to overcome a wrist injury he sustained in the summer. Perhaps the biggest transition this season will be the move of Sonny Meade from designated hitter to right field. Meade was the only freshman last season to start all 61 games for the Bulldogs and will be looked upon to replace Covington. Meade was tabbed to the Coaches’ All-SoCon team last year and was named to the 2006 All-SoCon Tournament squad. Junior Chris Swauger adjusted extremely well to the move from first base to left field last year and will provide much needed experience in the field and at the plate. Swauger led the club in eight offensive categories in 2006 while also representing The Citadel in many of the SoCon’s top-10 lists. His leagueleading 10 triples set a single-season record at The Citadel, while he finished the regular season second in the nation in three-baggers. Junior Aaron Beasley adds some extra depth and support in the outfield, while Arnold, McGuiness and Thomas could also be called upon if needed. SCHEDULE The 2007 slate marks only the second time in eight years that the Bulldogs will not begin the year in a tournament. The Citadel will open the 2007 season at home for the first time since 2004 as they play host to East Tennessee State for a three-game series.

2007 Season Outlook 9
The Bulldogs enjoy 10 consecutive home games before hitting the road in 2007. After ETSU, the Dogs will again host two early season shootouts. The Citadel will entertain Richmond, Liberty and Super Regional participant South Carolina during the first tournament held Feb. 16-18. Virginia Tech, Minnesota and UNC Asheville will visit the following weekend, Feb. 23-25. The Dogs have a mid-week meeting with Campbell at Riley before heading to the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn. for the Dairy Queen Classic, March 2-4. Classic participants include Southeastern Conference Tournament Champion Ole Miss, who made it to the Miami Super Regional in 2006. Arkansas will also represent the SEC as the Razorbacks made their fifth straight postseason appearance last year. The tournament marks The Citadel’s first ever meeting
with the Rebels and the Razorbacks and their second contest against Minnesota after their meeting at Riley Park on Feb. 24. The Citadel then returns home for a season-long 13-game home stand that includes a mid-week match-up against Winthrop (March 20). The Bulldogs also open up conference play during that stretch as they host 2006 SoCon regular season champions Elon (March 23-25). The 2007 slate boasts 14 games with seven teams that qualified for the 2006 NCAA Tournament including four versus the College of Charleston, three in a home series with Elon, a home and road contest with South Carolina (Feb. 18, May 9) and Winthrop (March 20, April 11), as well as one game against UNC Asheville (Feb. 25), Arkansas (March 4), and Ole Miss (March 3) in early season tourneys. The four games against the College of Charleston will feature the second annual
“Turn Back the Century” game on April 4 at Patriots Point. Southern Conference play opens at Riley Park against Elon, while the Dogs will host league foes Wofford, College of Charleston and Georgia Southern. The Citadel plays Western Carolina, Appalachian State, Davidson, UNC Greensboro and Furman on the road. The 2007 season marks the 18th consecutive year that The Citadel will host the Southern Conference Tournament at Riley Park (May 22-26/27). The SoCon adopted a new tournament format last season that includes all 10 conference teams with a single-elimination round between the 7-10 seeds on the first day of tournament play. The format continues with double-elimination play for the remainder for the tourney. The Southern Conference Tournament champion is awarded an automatic bid to an NCAA Regional.

Fred Jordan Head Coach 16th Season The Citadel, 1979
# Head Coach Fred Jordan 12
26
red Jordan, a former Citadel baseball letterman, is in his 16th season at the helm of his alma mater’s baseball program and holds a 524-373 (.584) overall record, all with the Bulldogs. Jordan has instilled the ideals of belief, faith and trust into Citadel baseball. Players under Jordan are known for playing “The Citadel Way”— Long, Hard and Fast. Citadel Baseball has been recognized for its tenacious pace of play and tremendous discipline that Jordan sets forth in the everyday rigors of practice and throughout the regular season. He has led the Bulldogs to six Southern Conference Tournament championships and six NCAA Regional appearances in the last ten years, including the 2004 SoCon Championship and an appearance at the 2004 NCAA Regional held in Columbia, S.C. No other NCAA Division I baseball program has been a part of their conference championship more than The Citadel in the past ten years. In his 15 seasons, Jordan’s Bulldogs average more than 36 victories a year, including 41 victories in 1999, which currently ranks as the second highest win total in Citadel history. Jordan hit a mileston in 2006 as he picked up his 500th career win. No other coach has ever reached the 500 mark as quickley as Jordan did. In fact, Chal Port is the only other coach to even earn 500 victories. Jordan is considered the dean of Southern Conference baseball coaches as he has won 10 Southern Conference championships,
seven more than the nearest competitor. Jordan stresses strong pitching and solid defense in order to win championships. Under Jordan, The Citadel has won the pitching title seven of the last 15 years and six of the last 12. Under Jordan, 43 Bulldogs have been honored as All-SoCon performers, while 39 have been named to the All-Tournament team, including a record seven in 2004. He has coached one Southern Conference Male Athlete of the Year, five Southern Conference Pitchers of the Year, three Southern Conference Freshmen of the Year, one Southern Conference Player of the Year, and six tournament Most Valuable Players. Jordan has been honored as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year three times, the last being in 2003. Over the last nine seasons, Jordan’s teams have had the eyes of Charleston upon them. The Citadel has been ranked in the top-35 in national attendance for nine consecutive seasons. In 2001, the Bulldogs finished 25th in the nation, the highest ever for a Citadel team, with 53,501 fans turning out at Riley Park to see the Bulldogs play. In 2004, over 58,000 fans streamed through the gates of Riley Park to help set a single-season attendance record. The Bulldogs garnered national attention in 2006 as Chris Swauger was named National Hitter of the Week to open the season. Swauger was one of two players to earn AllSoCon honors and finished the season second nationally in triples. Closer Link Saunders was
tabbed to the Stopper of the Year Watch List as he was consistently in the top-five in the nation in saves. Jordan also had two more players continue to the professional ranks as lefthander Ryan Owens signed with the Houston Astros and shortstop Matt Matulia was drafted in the 24th round by the Chicago Cubs. The Citadel played 12 games against nationally ranked opponents, including an upset over No. 3 Nebraska. In the Southern Conference Tournament, the Dogs battled to knock out top-seeded Elon en route to the championship game as The Citadel captured the runner-up spot and had two Bulldogs named to the All-Tournament team. In 2005, Jordan had his 37th player named to the Southern Conference AllTournament team in shortstop Matt Matulia. Matulia registered a .333 batting average with two doubles, two home runs and six RBI in four games. Two seniors on the 2005 squad also received Southern Conference Player of the Week honors as Chris Ard and pitcher Griff Beckham each earned the award for their performance. Four seniors left their mark on Citadel baseball history. Ard, Josh Stackley and Jon Aughey each made their way into multiple top-10 lists, while Shannon Sprouse moved into seventh all-time in saves. Relief pitcher Link Saunders emerged to lead the Southern Conference in opposing batting average (.234) during his sophomore campaign. Saunders also finished third in the Southern Conference with a 3.15 earned run average. In 2004, The Citadel finished 21-9 in the Southern Conference and had three
players named to the 2003 All-Southern Conference squad; Chip Cannon and Jonathan Ellis were honored as members of the first-team, while Josh Stackley was named to the second team. A record seven Bulldogs earned all-tournament honors after leading The Citadel to its seventh SoCon Tournament title. Jordan’s 2004 team also became the first Bulldog team since 1998 to win a NCAA Regional game as they downed Coastal Carolina 10-1 in the Regionals. The 2004 Bulldog club assaulted the record books like no other team in recent history as 19 career and/or season records were either tied or broken. The marks that standout are Cannon’s 17 homers, 71 base on balls and .990 fielding percentage, Stackley’s 274 at-bats, and Ellis’ 18 games started, nine complete games, 136.1 innings pitched and 12 wins. The 2004 team also left its mark on the field with a .974 team fielding percentage that broke the previous record of .968 set by the 2003 club. Ellis and Cannon took home several national honors as well, including AllAmerican laurels. Cannon was quickly tabbed as a clutch power hitter and several teams took notice as he set a new Southern Conference and Citadel record with 71 walks in 2004, a mark which also led the nation. The dynamic pair capped off a great season by getting drafted on the first day of Major League Baseball Amateur draft. Ellis went in the sixth round to San Diego, while Cannon was picked by Toronto in the eighth round. The 2003 club finished 19-11 in the Southern Conference and had four players named to the 2003 All-Southern Con-
Fred Jordan with South Carolina coach Ray Tanner.

ference squad; Chris Ard and Chip Cannon were honored as members of the first-team and Brook Dantzler and Matt Hamer, who finished his career with second on the all-time appearances list with 108, were listed on the second-team. Freshman centerfielder Trent Weathers, who played in all 57 of the Bulldogs’ games, was honored by the Southern Conference Media Association as the Freshman of the Year. With national powers Miami, North Carolina State, Florida State and South Carolina on the slate in 2003, Fred Jordan led his ball club to victories over the Hurricanes, Wolfpack and Gamecocks. He also became the fastest Citadel coach to reach the 400win plateau as he accomplished the feat on March 8 with a 7-3 victory over Western Carolina. The 2002 team featured one AllAmerican, two All-Southern Conference performers and the Southern Conference’s Pitcher and Male Athlete of the Year. The 2002 team was no different than any other Jordan coached club, as they were one of the best pitching teams in the country. The Bulldogs’ earned run average ranked in the top-25 nationally and right-handed pitcher Randy Corn proved to be the workhorse of the Bulldogs’ staff as he saved 13 games, tying a school re-
cord. Corn’s 1.37 ERA was good enough for second lowest in the country and earned him Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year honors. Joining Corn in the category of pitching dominance was junior reliever Matt Hamer, who compiled a 9-2 record to earn second-team All-SoCon honors. When remarking about the 2002 team it is impossible to ignore the names of 13thround draft pick T.A. Fulmer and team batting leader David Griffin. Fulmer, who threw the fifth no hitter in school history, became the 17th Bulldog selected since Jordan took over. Griffin, perhaps the epitome of Jordan’s style, went on to play minor league baseball, carrying on, along with Fulmer, the Bulldog tradition of graduating players to the professional ranks. Of Jordan’s 20 draftees, 13 were pitchers, and two are currently on Major League 40-man rosters. Britt Reames (Oakland A’s) became the first Bulldog ever to participate in the Major League Baseball Postseason and Dallas McPherson (Anahiem Angels) are currently listed on their respective preseason squads. The 2001 team featured three All-Americans, four first-team All-Southern Conference performers and the Southern Conference’s Pitcher and Player of the Year. The Bulldogs’ earned run average ranked in the top-25 nationally and were led by Corn, who compiled an 8-3 record and 12 saves to earn second-team All-America honors.

When mentioning the 2001 team it is impossible not to mention the names of second-round draft pick Dallas McPherson and Southern Conference Player of the Year Philip Hartig. McPherson, the 57th overall selection of the Anaheim Angels in the 2001 draft, became the third-highest selected Bulldog in school history. Hartig, perhaps the most prolific offensive power in Southern Conference history, set 10 Citadel and six Southern Conference all-time records during his senior season and teamed with McPherson to be the most dominant offensive duo in the Southern Conference.
The 2000 championship team featured two all-Americans, three first-team AllSouthern Conference performers and two second team All-Southern Conference members. Junior centerfielder Chris Morris led the nation by stealing 84 bases and established the single season Southern Conference record. Those 84 swipes also set the Southern Conference all-time record for stolen bases at 147. Morris was named first team all-America by Baseball Weekly and also earned first team AllSouthern Conference honors. In typical Jordan fashion, the 2000 team was not without strong pitching. Senior right-hander Ron Colvard posted 11 wins, which stands as the second highest total in school history. Along with Colvard, senior closer Jay Morgan posted 10 saves, which is the highest total since 1995 when Donald Morillo posted 13 saves for Jordan’s second Southern Conference championship team. In 1999, Jordan’s team posted a career best 41 victories en route to the regular season crown and the Southern Conference Tournament championship. The Bulldogs participated in the NCAA Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., and Jordan was named the Southern Conference’s Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. In 1998, The Citadel won 37 games, marking the fourth-highest single-season victory total in school history, and won the Southern Conference Tournament crown by outscoring its four opponents by a combined score of 37-3. In addition, Jordan saw three members of his 1998 club selected in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. In the spring of 1998, he had three players with 4.0 grade point averages, five Gold Stars (3.8+ GPA) honorees and 17 AD’s Honor Roll (3.0+ GPA and/or 2.75 cumulative GPA) members. His 1995 squad captured the Southern Conference regular season crown by five games, the Southern Conference Tournament Championship and made their second consecutive trip to NCAA Regional play. The 1994 Bulldogs captured the Southern Conference Tournament, won the playin series with the Ohio Valley Conference tournament champion and earned the right to participate in the NCAA East Regional at Clemson. The Citadel advanced to the quarterfinal round of play before bowing out with a 5-1 loss to Notre Dame. This was accomplished with only two seniors and five freshmen in the everyday lineup. Jordan, 45, was named The Citadel’s
Head Coach Fred Jordan at the 2004 NCAA Columbia Regional. head coach on Jan. 14, 1992, only 28 days prior to the team’s season-opener against Coastal Carolina in Conway. He replaced his former college head coach Chal Port, who retired prior to the 1992 season after coaching baseball at The Citadel from 1965-1991. Jordan is the fifth head coach in modern-day Citadel baseball history (since 1954). Jordan is a 1979 graduate of The Citadel where he received a bachelor of science degree in physical education and a master’s degree in education in 1987. He lettered as a pitcher in 1976, 1977 and 1979 for the Bulldogs under Port. He won an Ace (Pitching) Award in 1979 and was a member of the 1979 Southern Conference Baseball Championship squad. Prior to his appointment at The Citadel, Jordan had been one of the most respected high school baseball coaches in the state of South Carolina. He was the head coach at Stratford High School from 19841991 before The Citadel called. He led the Knights to an overall record of 156-53 (.746), and during his tenure at Stratford, the Knights were Lower State runners-up in 1988 and 1989. At Fort Johnson High and James Island High schools in Charleston, Jordan led the Trojans and Rams to an overall record of 70-34 (.673) from 1980-83, including the AAAA Lower State Championship in 1983 at James Island. His 1980 and ‘81 Fort Johnson teams were AAA District runnersup.
In 12 years as a high school head coach, Jordan led each of his teams to a state playoff appearance and all 12 squads finished no worse than second place in their conference. His 1988 Stratford team racked up 20 wins in a row en route to a No. 28 ranking by Collegiate Baseball. His 1989 squad started the season ranked 20th by USA Today and was ranked between 20th and 25th the entire season. Jordan was named Region 6-AAAA Coach of the Year in 1987, 1988 and 1989, and served as the head coach of the Lowcountry All-Star team in 1991. He served as the assistant coach of the South Carolina All-Star team in 1989. His high school coaching record in 12 seasons was 226-87 (.722). Jordan had over 30 high school players go on to play collegiate baseball. He coached four professional draft choices, six Lowcountry Players of the Year and 48 all-conference picks. Two of Jordan’s players in high school - Lee Glaze and Anthony Jenkins - went on to become Southern Conference Athletes of the Year at The Citadel and earn induction into the school’s athletic hall of fame. A Charleston native and 1975 graduate of Garrett High School, he is married to the former Debra Mattox of Charleston and the couple has two children, Kristen, who graduated from Clemson in the spring of 2004, and Kyle, who is a freshman on The Citadel baseball team.

David Beckley Assistant Coach Sixth Season The Citadel, 1996

Asst. Coach David Beckley 16
avid Beckley enters his sixth season with the Bulldogs as an assistant coach and his first as the recruiting coordinator. He takes over the duties of recruiting coordinator after assisting former associate head coach Chris Lemonis for five years. Beckley will continue to work with the infielders and base runners for the 2007 season. Under Beckley, the Bulldogs have flourished defensively. Head coach Fred Jordan has always preached that good pitching and solid defense wins championships, and Beckley firmly believes in that system. After setting the school’s fielding percentage record at .968 in 2003, all the 2004 club did was smash it with a .974 fielding percentage. Beckley’s defense only committed 69 errors in 2,633 chances and tallied a record breaking 762 assists, surpassing the previous mark of 715 set in 1994. With such a solid defense behind them, Jordan can allow his pitchers to pitch without any fear of being let down by a defender. In 2006, Matt Matulia was drafted by the Chicago Cubs and was a solid defender at shortstop as a four-year starter. Matulia also made an assault on many Citadel records during his career as a Bulldog. Three other Bulldog infielders have reached the professional ranks under Beckley’s tutelage. Second baseman Jon Aughey signed as a free agent with the Kansas City Royals in 2005 and first baseman Chip Cannon was drafted in the eighth round by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2004 after receiving All-Southern Conference accolades. Cannon was also named to the Louisiville Slugger/TPX All-American Team in his final season as a Bulldog. Shortstop David Griffin played with the Evansville Otters of the independent Frontier League in 2002 and 2003. Beckley’s other task is to put pressure on opposing pitchers and defenses by coaching the Bulldogs base runners. A solid base stealer
himself, Beckley swiped 103 bags in four seasons as a Bulldog. He has taken his approach to base running and instilled it into the current Citadel base runners. His guidance is beginning to pay dividends, as several current Bulldogs are quickly becoming threats on the base paths. Jon Aughey was one swipe shy of the career top-10 list in stolen bases as he recorded 65 over the four years he played for the Bulldogs. Chris Ard swiped a season high 29 bases in 2005, giving him a career total of 54. Aughey and Ard are not the only players to benefit from Beckley’s knowledge. Trent Weathers was a huge base stealing threat to any club in the conference as he totaled 50 stolen bases in 68 attempts over the four years he spent at The Citadel. Beckley played a pivotal part in the development of the 2003 Southern Conference Freshman of the Year Weathers. Weathers not only played in every game for the Bulldogs in 2003 and hit over .300, but Beckley helped hone the fleet-footed Weathers into one of the nation’s leading base stealing threats. Weathers broke The Citadel freshman stolen base mark with 25 steals in only 30 attempts. Beckley is no stranger to The Citadel as he was a four-year letter winner under coach Fred Jordan. Among the smartest base runners in conference history, the James Island native finished his career as the top base stealer in Southern Conference history as he eclipsed the century mark and finished with 104 stolen bases. A 1996 graduate of The Military College of South Carolina, Beckley previously served as the head baseball coach at Berkeley High School and had stints as an assistant coach at both Barnwell and James Island high schools. Beckley was a member of the 1994 and 1995 Southern Conference Championship teams and brings continuity and dedication to the program. Beckley finished second on the team in batting average his senior season as he batted .335 and led the team with 37 stolen bases, 65 runs scored and five triples to lead the Bulldogs to their second consecutive Southern Conference title. He was tabbed to the South Carolina Collegiate All-State team in 1994 and 1996, while being named The Citadel’s team MVP in 1996. A 1992 graduate of Stratford High School, Beckley earned two letters in football and four letters in baseball. During his senior season, he played in the North-South baseball game and the Shrine Bowl for football. For his efforts the High School Sports Report named him the Lowcountry Co-Player of the Year along with former Bulldog pitcher Brian Callahan (199396). Beckley is married to the former Lauren Garmon of James Island. The couple has one daughter, Payton (4), and a son, Tanner (1).

tuart Lake enters his first season as an assistant for The Citadel baseball program. Lake takes over the duties of the hitters and outfielders and assists in recruiting prospective student-athletes. Lake joins The Citadel staff after spending three seasons as an assistant for the Ole Miss Rebels where he was responsible for the hitters and outfielders. In his first year at Ole Miss, Lake helped increase the Rebels’ offensive production at the plate. Ole Miss belted 14 more home runs than in the previous year and the team’s .443 slugging percentage was 33 points higher than the year before. In addition, the Rebels recorded 614 hits to top the 600-hit mark for the fifth straight season before breaking that mark again with more than 750 hits in 2005. The 2006 season saw Ole Miss claim the Southeastern Conference Tournament Championship as the Rebels’ offense pounded away at the competition. Ole Miss outscored its opponents 39-10 in four games, hitting .356 for the tournament. Ole Miss also led the Southeastern Conference in hitting, batting at a .309 clip for the year and four Rebels finished in the top eight in the SEC in total hits for the season. Ole Miss’ offense produced more than 700 hits for the second-straight season as the Rebels made a run to game three of a Super Regional against Miami, the second-consecutive season Ole Miss has hosted a Super Regional and third straight to host a Regional. Lake also tutored supplemental first-round draft pick Chris Coghlan, the highest drafted Rebel ever at the 36th overall pick, along with three other Rebel hitters who had their name called in the 2006 Major League Baseball draft. He also coached Zack Cozart to All-America honors as the sophomore was the second leading hitter on the team behind Coghlan. In the 2005 season, the Rebels produced more than 750 hits, scored more than 500 runs and drove in 462 runs on the way to a Western Division title, the program’s first in 23 seasons. Lake’s tutelage at the plate saw six of the Rebels hit over the .300 mark for the year. The offense was also a big part of the Rebels coming within one game of the College World Series, falling to eventual national champion Texas in the Oxford Super Regional. During his tenure as a Rebel, Lake helped coach 1B/LHP Stephen Head to SEC Co-Player of the Year honors. Head was also a finalist for the 2004 Golden Spikes Award, amateur baseball’s most prestigious award, before being drafted in the second round of the 2005 MLB draft. Lake also had two of his outfielders get drafted in the 2004 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Seth Smith was a second-round selection by the Colorado Rockies and Charlie Babineaux was taken in the 28th round by the San Francisco Giants. In 2005, outfielder Brian Pettway earned All-America honors before being drafted in the third round by Toronto.
Prior to his stint at Ole Miss, Lake spent a season coaching at the College of Charleston. In his only year with the Cougars (2003), Lake served as third base coach, hitting instructor and outfield coach. Lake had two hitters drafted during his short tenure. Second baseman Lee Curtis posted a .399 average to earn his second straight Southern Conference Player of the Year award and was drafted in the eighth round by the Boston Red Sox in the 2003 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. He also coached catcher Matt Lauderdale, who was selected in the ninth round by the San Diego Padres in 2003. Lake began his collegiate coaching career at South Carolina in 1999 where he coached the outfielders and served as first base coach while also assisting with the hitters. During his time there, the Gamecocks won three SEC East titles and two overall SEC championships. South Carolina also played in three NCAA Super Regionals and reached the national championship game of the College World Series in 2002. Lake helped coach two SEC Player of the Year winners during his stint as a Gamecock. One of those players, pitcher Kip Bouknight, whom Lake coached in high school, was also the 2002 Golden Spikes Award winner. Lake has coached more than 60 players who have gone on to play professional baseball in his nine-year coaching career. Six of those players were drafted in the first two rounds. Prior to his college coaching career, Lake coached at his alma mater, Mid Carolina High School, and Brookland Cayce High School in Columbia, S.C. Brookland Cayce won the AAA state championship in Lake’s second year in 1998. Lake also served as the head coach of the Edenton Steamers of the Coastal Plain League in 2000. No stranger to the Lowcountry, Lake graduated from Charleston Southern in 1994 where he was a member of the Buccaneer baseball team during the 1993 and 1994 seasons. Lake is married to the former Tracie Smith of Clover, S.C. The couple has one son, Hayden (2).

Randy Carlson Assistant Coach Second Season Lander, 2003
andy Carlson enters his second season as an assistant at The Citadel where he works primarily with the catchers. Brady Mashak and Sid Fallaw flourished behind the plate under Carlson’s direction in his first season. Mashak was third in the Southern Conference in runners picked off while Mashak and Fallaw were both in the top-10 in base runners caught stealing. Passed balls were nearly cut in half as the catchers allowed only seven passed balls between them the entire year, and they combined to gun down 28 base runners, good enough for second in the SoCon. With Carlson’s guidance, Mashak’s percentage of base runners caught stealing more than doubled and he allowed only one passed ball on the season. Fallaw was arguably the top defensive freshman catcher in the SoCon in 2006. A 2003 graduate of Lander University, Carlson was the assistant coach at his alma mater from 2003-05 where he worked with the catchers, outfielders and hitters. He also acted as first base coach and camp director. In 2005, he coached a Lander team that reached the national ranks at number seven, the Bearcats’ highest ranking in school history.
Carlson has also coached eight players that went on to the professional ranks. Carlson received a coach’s award in 2001, and was named to the Peach Belt Conference Academic Honor Roll in 2001 and 2002 during his playing days at Lander. He was part of a Bearcat team that reached ninth nationally in 2001. That same club finished the ‘01 season with a school record 33 wins, including a season high 18 Peach Belt Conference victories. In every season in which Carlson was a player or coach, Lander was ranked among the top 30 in the country.

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which enters its 87th season of intercollegiate competition in 2007, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Division I-AA football conference since earning that classification in 1981. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams, highlighted this year by College of Charleston baseball player Phillip Coker, who was named Academic All-American of the Year. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. The Southern Conference office is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. MEMBERSHIP HISTORY The Southern Conference was formed on Feb. 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921. In 1922, six more schools - Florida, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. Virginia Military Institute became a member in 1925 and Duke University came into the fold in 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affiliated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history. The first occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed out of the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern ConferCommissioner................................................................

ence invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership. The second major shift happened in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest officially withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against their local rivals. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans four Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. The most recent addition, Elon University, joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2003. The Phoenix replaced Virginia Military Institute which left the conference on June 30, 2003. East Tennessee State, which joined the SoCon in 1978, left the conference following the conclusion of the 2004-05 academic year. CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. In May of 1923, the league held its first outdoor track and field championship in Montgomery, Ala. Mississippi A&M (now Mississippi State) captured six individual titles on its way to winning the team championship. Two other sports - cross country and tennis - held their first championships during the 1920s. North Carolina won the initial cross country team championship in 1926 in Athens, Ga. Tennis crowned its first singles and doubles champions in New Orleans, La. in 1928. Donald Cram of Vanderbilt was the league’s first singles champion, while Leonard Chamberlin and Maurie Bayon of Tulane won the doubles title. The 1930s saw four more sports - wrestling, indoor track and field, swimming and golf - celebrate their first conference championships. VMI played host to and won the first league wrestling team championship in 1930. Washington & Lee won the first indoor track team championship, which also took place in 1930 and was held at Chapel Hill, N.C. The University of Virginia hosted and won the first league swimming championship in 1933, while Duke captured the first conference golf team title at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., later that same year. Baseball was introduced as a Southern Conference sport in 1947 as Clemson captured the league championship that year. Rifle held its first conference championship in 1956, while soccer was the most recently added men’s sport in 1967. The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 1983-84 season. That year, volleyball, basketball and tennis championships were held in the league. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Southern Conference currently declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis, golf and softball.

SoCon 2007 Schedule 63
THE 2007 SOUTHERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT For the 18th consecutive season, the Southern Conference Baseball Tournament will be hosted in Charleston, S.C. The Tournament is held at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park on the campus of The Citadel. In the Southern Conference’s November meetings in 2005, the SoCon adopted a new Tournament format where all 10 SoCon teams compete. The bottom four seeds (7-10) participate in a single elimination round where the winners will fill the seven and eight slots, thus starting the tournament on Tuesday, a day earlier. From there, the remaining eight teams will compete in double-elimination play. The 2007 SoCon Tournament begins on Tuesday, May 22 with the single elimination round. Beginning Wednesday, May 23, four games are scheduled daily at 10 am, 1 pm, 4 pm and 7:30 pm through Friday, May 25. The championship game is scheduled for Saturday, May 26 unless the loser’s bracket team forces a final game on Sunday, May 27. Located on the banks of the Ashley River, the $19.5 million state-of-the-art ballpark opened in 1997 giving The Citadel and The Southern Conference one of the top collegiate baseball facilities in the nation. With seating for 6,000, Riley Park is named after the long-time Charleston mayor who is a 1964 graduate of The Citadel, Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Riley Park also serves as the home of the Class A Charleston RiverDogs, a South Atlantic League affiliate of the New York Yankees. The single-game tournament attendance record of 5,419 was set in 2003 for an opening round game between The Citadel and the College of Charleston. The all-tournament attendance record was set in 2004 when more than 35,000 fans attended Riley Park, an average of 2,343 per game. Nearly 300,000 patrons have attended the 16 previous SoCon Baseball Tournaments held in Charleston.

BULLDOGS ENJOY EXCITING SEASON IN 2006
T
he Citadel baseball finished up an exciting season as they clinched the runner-up spot in the 2006 Southern Conference Tournament entering as the No. 5 seed. The Bulldogs completed the regular season with five straight SoCon series victories to finish fifth in the conference and battled back after losing their second game in the tourney to face second-seeded College of Charleston for the Championship title. The Dogs began the season on the road for the second consecutive year as they opened with Virginia in the Springmaid Beach Resort Tournament hosted by Coastal Carolina. The Cadets fell by a slight 5-3 margin, but then went on to win their next five of seven contests including an 8-5 win over No. 3 Nebraska. In their first 18 games, the Dogs enjoyed a 12-6 record before hitting a five game skid, their longest losing streak of the season. UNLV earned a sweep over The Citadel before the Dogs opened conference play at Georgia Southern. The Eagles won the first two before the Bulldogs rebounded with a 10-3 win in game three. The Cadets then hosted UNC Greensboro the following weekend and registered their first SoCon series win with victories in games one and three. The Dogs then lost two of three to the 2005 Tournament Championship squad Furman before suffering a three-game sweep at the hands of Elon, who ended up winning the 2006 regular season title. Elon squeaked past The Citadel as the Phoenix notched two one-run victories

with a walk-off single in the ninth. The Citadel then went on to take five straight conference series from Western Carolina, Wofford, Appalachian State, Davidson and College of Charleston, while facing a ranked opponent in their last four mid-week contests. The Bulldogs squaredoff against SEC power South Carolina twice in the final weeks of the season. A non-conference visit to Riley Park by No. 26 College of Charleston was also a midweek highlight as the Dogs downed their cross-town rival, 4-1, in the first annual “Turn Back the Century” game on April 25. The Citadel won five of their last six to close out the regular season, earning a sweep over Davidson and taking two of three from the College of Charleston. The Dogs ended the Cougars’ SoCon series winning streak at 29, while also preventing them from winning their third consecutive regular season title as Elon picked up the honor. Winning 12 of their last 18 games, The Citadel continued to heat up going into the Southern Conference Tournament. The Dogs opened the tournament against fourth-seeded Georgia Southern. The Citadel had to go up against junior hurler Everett Teaford, who owned a 3-0 record over the Dogs prior to the tournament matchup. Trailing 3-0 through six innings, freshman Sid Fallaw sparked a two-out rally in the seventh as he matched his career-high three hits in the contest. Freshman Sonny Meade then drove in what proved to be the game-winner and pushed across two more

in the ninth to lead the Dogs to a 6-3 victory. Junior reliever Justin Smith helped preserve the win as he came on in the seventh and shutdown the Eagle offense, only allowing one hit while striking out six in his three innings of work. Elon defeated the Dogs 12-3 the next day, but The Citadel battled back from the loser’s bracket to win three straight and earn a chance for the tournament crown. Senior Ken Egleton tossed his fourth career complete game to notch a 10-3 victory over seventh-seeded UNC Greensboro. The Dogs provided Egleton with seven runs over the first two innings to take a comfortable lead. The Citadel then had to turn around to face No. 6 Western Carolina later that same day. Facing elimination, the Dogs fell behind 2-1 going into the ninth but The Citadel did not give up as they ignited for three runs in the final frame. Fallaw again began the offensive attack and scored the tying run on a Matt Covington single. Meade came through with another clutch hit as he drove in the go-ahead run and came around to score on a base hit off the bat of Matt Matulia, giving the Dogs a little extra padding going into the bottom of the inning. Justin Smith closed out the ninth to register his eighth win of the season as he tossed 4.1 frames and recorded eight more strikeouts. The Dogs returned the next morning to face Elon for the second time, after they were knocked into the loser’s bracket by the College of Charleston. Elon enjoyed a 4-0 record over the Dogs during 2006, but The Citadel ended up on the victorious side of a 14-11 slugfest with the regular season champions. A five-run eighth, capped off by a three-run home run by Matulia, gave the Dogs a seven-run advantage, but the Phoenix pulled back within three in their half of the frame. The Citadel handed the

ninth over to senior hurler Ryan Owens, who had made the start against Elon the first time around. Owens picked up his first save of the season to send the Phoenix home as The Citadel advanced to battle the College of Charleston for the tournament title. After throwing 112 pitches in his start over Elon two days before and picking up a save in the ninth earlier in the day, an eager Owens took to the hill to face the Cougars with the Championship on the line. Owens only allowed one earned run and registered four strikeouts in his three innings of work. The senior did not factor into the decision as he left the mound with the game tied at three. The Cougars put up two in the fourth to make it 5-3, as Chris Swauger pulled the Dogs within one on a solo shot in the fifth. Swauger’s home run capped off the scoring for both clubs as the Cougars held on for the 5-4 victory. It was a heartbreaking loss to the crosstown rival, but The Citadel put together an incredible run to be the runner-up in the SoCon Tournament. The Dogs played six games in four days to battle to the championship game. Swauger and Meade earned SoCon All-Tournament honors for their performance, while both were also named to the coaches All-Conference squad. Swauger was tabbed the first SoCon Player of the Week in 2006 while also being named National Hitter of the Week by the NCBWA for his performance to start the season. Swauger set The Citadel’s single-season triples record and is tied for eighth in career triples, while his 10 three-baggers were also enough for second in the nation. Swauger finished the season leading the
Dogs in many offensive categories, including batting average (.356), runs (54), hits (85), doubles (21), triples (10) and home runs (7). His 21 doubles earned him fifth place in The Citadel’s single-season list. Swauger was also named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Baseball Team. Meade paced the Bulldogs with 50 RBI and was second only to Swauger in runs, hits and doubles. His 19 two-baggers tied him for sixth place in single-season doubles with former associate head coach Chris Lemonis. Junior reliever Justin Smith was named the conference’s final Pitcher of the Week for the 2006 season for his performance against the College of Charleston. Smith finished up the year with the most wins of any Bulldog pitcher with eight and led the squad with a 3.14 ERA and 94 strikeouts, while holding opponents to a .251 batting average. Citadel closer Link Saunders earned his spot in The Citadel’s record books as he set the single-season record with 15 saves. The right-hander ended up tied for third in the nation as he was tabbed to the NCBWA Stopper of the Year watch list. Saunders finished behind Smith with a 3.21 ERA and garnered 59 strikeouts in 47.2 innings of work. Freshman pitchers showed great promise in 2006 as Wes Wrenn garnered 15 starts on the mound and turned in two complete game performances and finished with a 6-2 record and a 3.88 ERA. Matt Crim also found his way into the starting rotation and ended the season 5-1 overall with a 4.08 ERA.
Head Coach Fred Jordan earned his 500th career victory with an 11-2 win over Butler on March 10, 2006.
The 2006 squad graduated 10 seniors as many left their mark on The Citadel’s all-time charts. Senior shortstop Matt Matulia, a four-year starter, made an assault on the record books as he finished tied for third in games played (236), fourth in at bats (875), sixth in hits (258), 10th in total bases (365), tied for ninth in doubles (48) and tied for eighth in triples (8). Senior hurler Ken Egleton left tied for fifth in games started (45), seventh in innings pitched (288.2) and is sixth with 261 career strikeouts. Two Bulldogs went on to join the professional ranks at the conclusion of the season. Ryan Owens signed with the Houston Astros, while Matulia was selected in the 24th round by the Chicago Cubs in MLB’s 2006 Amateur Draft.

1990 College World Series Who’d a thunk it? by Ken Burger — June 10, 1990
I
n the beginning, back in January, when they gathered to practice in warm-up suits and on some days could see their breath as they zipped the ball around the infield and the aluminum bats were cold to the touch, nobody gave it much thought. Nor did early February send any signs. The season started as most do, lost somewhere between the end of football and the crescendo of basketball. They were winning a few games, there even appeared to be a pattern. But nobody really gave it much thought. In fact no one, not even their coach, thought the 1990 Citadel baseball team would be much different from those that had come before. They were picked to finish sixth in the eightmember Southern Conference where only seven schools play baseball. So who’d a thunk it? That this band of unlikely heroes would somehow put it all together and battle their way to the College World Series. Certainly not the media. Certainly not coach Chal Port, who gave his usual preseason assessment of rebuilding. Probably not even the players, a group of 35 cadets with only seven seniors on the roster, almost all of whom are from South Carolina or neighboring towns in Georgia and North Carolina. They would go through their season, do their best, enjoy the camaraderie and be able to tell their sons about playing baseball at The Citadel many years from now. Nobody knew. Really. Nobody knew. It wasn’t until late February, maybe early March, when their headlines started getting a little larger, moving to the front page of the sports section. Bulldogs win 10th straight. Bulldogs win 12th straight. Bulldogs extend win streak. Soon the television stations were showing up at College Park to get snipets of the moment for the evening news. Win streaks are fun to follow. They give people something to talk about over lunch. How ‘bout those Bulldogs? And then the streak got serious. As they approached the school record, still winning, the pressure started building. Seventeen. Eighteen. Nineteen straight. The school record was 22 straight. Now people were paying attention. And they broke it, eventually winning 26 straight before losing to Kent State. The ride was over. The TV cameras didn’t come back for awhile. The team went into a mild slump, apparently returning to reality. Everybody could relax. But the slump didn’t last. The Bulldogs started winning again, this time with a little less hoopla. And by the end of the season they won the Southern Conference regular-season title going away. No contest. Interesting. And to make things more interesting, the conference tournament was coming to Charleston for the first time. The pressure was on again. By this time, however, the warm spring breezes of April found a Citadel team that had genuinely come into its own. They were loose. They were having fun. They had nothing to lose. And they didn’t.
1990 College World Series 82
They dominated the tournament, won four straight, and earned the right to travel to Miami for the Atlantic Regional. Everybody thought it would be a nice trip for the boys who had played so hard. Nobody thought they would have a chance. But they did it again. Against unbelievable odds, they beat North Carolina State, East Carolina and the dreaded Miami Hurricanes twice to steal the regional crown and a trip to Omaha, Neb., for the College World Series. So who’d a thunk it? Nobody was more surprised by this time than Port, a veteran of 26 years of coaching Citadel baseball teams. He had seen teams with more potential go south. He had seen some with less do well. But he had never had a group like this. By now the city of Charleston and the Palmetto State were getting a little giddy about this club. The Citadel, yes, The Citadel was in the College World Series. What a trip. What a story. Everybody thought it was great. Nobody thought they had a chance. And when they arrived in the Midwest, they didn’t. Not really. The other teams were loaded. Real contenders. The Bulldogs were just an aberration, a novelty. The only military school to ever make it to the final eight. Everybody talked about how they had to march and what great manners the boys had and how Port was one of the funniest, most entertaining coaches around. They lost their first game to Louisiana State, 8-2. People thought, that’s OK, at least they made it this far. Nobody expected them to do anything anyway. One more loss and they’re gone. They made a good showing. Got on ESPN. Then they played the game of their lives. Trailing Cal-State Fullerton 4-1 going into the seventh inning, they rallied. Port did some of his magic coaching and strained every ounce of talent and ability out of his team. They won, 8-7, in a 12-inning drama that few will forget. So they had done it. They had at least won a game in Omaha, proving they belonged, that they weren’t a fluke. One more loss and they’d be coming home. It came the next night, against LSU, again. This time it was 6-1, a loss relayed back to the fans by radio because ESPN couldn’t show it live due to its major-league obligation. It was probably better that way. Hearing it was less painful than watching it. And at 4:07 p.m. the next day, they touched down in Charleston. The end of a long odyssey. The season that couldn’t have been, had been. They became and remain the most unlikely and humble of heroes. For through their efforts they gave us all something to cheer for, and gave themselves something to remember forever. It was one of those things that wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. And those are the best kind. Who’d a thunk it? Ken Burger is executive sports editor of the Charleston Post and Courier.

LSU 8, The Citadel 2 June 2, 1990 • College World Series Omaha, Neb. by Bob Lang of The Post and Courier Omaha, Neb. — The Citadel can blame Paul Byrd for spoiling its College World Series debut. Byrd, a sophomore right-hander, picked off three Citadel runners and stranded five others to lead Louisiana State to an 8-2 victory before a crowd of 7,000 at Rosenblatt Stadium and a national television audience on ESPN. …In Saturday’s game, which began under cloudy skies and ended in bright sunlight, The Citadel had 12 hits to LSU’s 14. But the score wasn’t closer because Byrd (17-5) kept getting the Tigers out of innings with Bulldogs on bases. “We were getting our hits,” Citadel coach Chal Port said, “but Byrd was capable of shutting our runners down in scoring position. We never really took control away from him.” Byrd’s biggest inning was the second, when The Citadel had a 1-0 lead and the bases loaded with one out. At that time, LSU coach Skip Bertman visited Byrd on the mound. The Citadel’s Dan McDonnell, a .203 hitter with 39 strikeouts on the season, and Gettys Glaze, a .319 hitter who doubled in the first inning and scored on a single by Billy Baker, were on deck. “I felt Paul’s stuff could overpower these batters,” Bertman said he told Byrd. Bertman was right. Byrd struck out both McDonnell and Glaze. …The inning did crush The Citadel which wasn’t the same afterward, and it gave new life to LSU. …Ken Britt, who started on the mound for The Citadel, was hoping for a similar ending in the bottom of the third with two outs. But he had no such luck, as Wes Grisham singled a 3-2 pitch to right to score Ron Lim. Then Tim Clark, a 6-4, 205-pound juThe Citadel vs. Louisiana State June 2 @ Omaha, Neb. nior, rocketed a 2-run blast over the wall 1990 College World Series • Game 1 in right field to give the Tigers a 5-2 lead.

The Citadel 8, Cal State-Fullerton 7 (12 innings) June 4, 1990 • College World Series Omaha, Neb. by Bob Lang of The Post and Courier Omaha, Neb. — They don’t get much crazier than this. The Citadel overcame seven errors and a 4-1 deficit to eliminate Cal State-Fullerton, 8-7, in 12 innings Monday at sun-splashed Rosenblatt Stadium and remain alive in the College World Series. “I thought that was one great game,” Citadel coach Chal Port said after the marathon contest that lasted three hours, 31 minutes. “It was not great baseball, but, my God that was exciting.” The seventh-seeded Bulldogs kept an estimated crowd of 5,000 and an ESPN audience on edge while avoiding defeat when the Titans had potential winning runs in scoring position in the bottom of the ninth and 10th innings. But Gettys Glaze and Hank Kraft came through with remarkable displays of relief pitching to defuse Fullerton’s threats. With one out, Glaze struck out 2 with runners on first and second in the 9th. Kraft struck out one and forced the other to ground out with one out and the bases loaded in the 10th. Third baseman Tony Skole, who singled in a go-ahead run in the 10th, did it again in the 12th. This time the single scored Anthony Jenkins, who made a spectacular diving slide for the winning run. Fullerton posed one final scare in the bottom of the 12th when the Titans had their best hitter, Mate’ Borgogno, at the plate with the potential tying run at second. But Kraft, in his 26th relief appearance this season, struck out Borgogno looking on three pitches.

… “As the old saying goes, it’s better to be lucky than good,” Port said. “That’s certainly true for this game.” … “We had the situation we wanted,” Fullerton coach Larry Cochell said. “It just didn’t break for us. We had two or three situations we wanted. You have to credit The Citadel.” The Bulldogs seemed to be headed for elimination after six innings, trailing 4-1. But before they took the field in the seventh, Port made wholesale changes. Port replaced starting pitcher Richard Shirer with Brad Stowell, moved Chris Coker from first base to shortstop, switched Billy Baker from right field to first base and put Mike Black in right field. After Stowell walked his first batter, Port replaced him with Glaze, who had been catching. Larry Hutto replaced Glaze behind the plate. “What we did was not unusual for us,” Port said. “We won the championship game in the Southern Conference Tournament the same way. We’re limited in our personnel, and I’ve got to ride the horses that we’ve got.” The Citadel vs. Cal St. Fullerton June 4 @ Omaha, Neb. 1990 College World Series • Game 2 THE CITADEL Branham, DH Hutto, C Kraft, P Glaze, C-P-C Jenkins, LF Coker, 1B-SS Baker, RF-1B Skole, 3B Rychlick, CF Elvington, SS Mays, PH Black, RF McDonnell, 2B Shirer, P Totals

LSU 6, The Citadel 1 June 5, 1990 • College World Series Omaha, Neb. by Bob Lang of The Post and Courier Omaha, Neb.— The Citadel’s dream season is over. Louisiana State pitcher John O’Donoghue provided the wakeup call, holding the Bulldogs to one run on eight hits to lead the Tigers to a 6-1 victory Tuesday night in a College World Series elimination game. It was only appropriate that the largest crowd ever to watch a Citadel baseball game — 14,614 — was on hand at Rosenblatt Stadium to witness the last game of a most remarkable year for the Bulldogs, who finished with a 46-14 record. The fans gave The Citadel a standing ovation while the teams shook hands and the stadium announcer said over the speaker system, “Thank you, The Citadel, in your first trip to the College World Series. You have a fine bunch of kids. Thank you coach Chal Port.” … “We were very fortunate to tiptoe past The Citadel,” LSU coach Skip Bertman said. “They’re America’s team — touched by Abner Doubleday himself. A real field of dreams.” …(Citadel right-handed pitcher Billy) Baker had a no-hitter going through four innings, but the Tigers killed that in the fifth by scoring three runs on four hits to take a 3-0 lead. …The Bulldogs had runners in scoring position with two outs in both the fifth and sixth innings, but O’Donoghue ended the threats with a pop-up and strikeout, respectively. In the seventh The Citadel started another two-out rally, which produced the team’s only run. Jason Rychlick got the rbi, blooping to left to score Chris Coker, Anthony Jenkins

Located in historic Charleston, S.C., The Citadel offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in the humanities, business, math, science, engineering and education.

The engineering school is nationally ranked at number 27. With an enrollment of more than 1,900, the Corps of Cadets is the nation’s largest military college program outside the service academies. All cadets are educated within a classic military system and about 40 percent of the graduating seniors earn military commissions. The remaining graduates attend graduate school or enter the job market. The College of Graduate and Professional Studies, which is noted for Citadel excellence in a civilian environment, serves about 1,200 residents of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Academic programs at the collge are complimented by a strong commitment to service and emphatic support of an honor code that calls upon a cadet not to lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do. Since its founding in 1842, The Citadel’s emphasis on character, as well as intellect, has produced generations of graduates who have served their nation, their professions and their communities with distinction.
Academic Development Handled by the Best... Of The Citadel’s teaching faculty, 94 percent hold doctoral degrees and the average student-faculty ratio is 14:1. This class size insures that cadet-student-athletes have every opportunity to be successful in the classroom.

Most
the armed services, all cadets participate in an ROTC program. On most days, cadets have physical fitness training and military instruction in addition to their regular college classes. Weekdays end with a formation and required evening study period. Because The Citadel emphasizes corps unity, cadets cannot be married and all must live on campus in the barracks with their assigned company. Despite the challenges, cadets value their first year for the lessons in teamwork, selfdiscipline and time management. The disciplined lifestyle that begins in the knob year binds cadets into a lifelong, close-knit camaraderie that is one of the strongest forces in their lives after graduation.
Campus... The Citadel sits on a 300-acre tract of land on the Ashley River. There are 27 buildings grouped around a large (10-acre) grass parade ground. The buldings around the parade ground include 10 classroom buildings, an administrative building, four barracks, a student activities building, infirmary, chapel, stadium, a field house, and library. Just off the main campus are the football stadium, baseball stadium and alumni center.

Leader in Female Athletics... The Citadel is a national leader in the percentage of female students who are athletes. More than 50 percent of its female cadets compete on seven varsity teams - an outstanding achievement given the fact that female athletics started in 1997.

The Dream
The Citadel boasts 22 players who have played professional baseball during the Jordan era, 14 of which have been pitchers. In 2006, two Bulldogs went on to the professional ranks as hurler Ryan Owens signed with the Houston Astros and shortstop Matt Matulia was selected in the 24th round of the MLB amatuer draft by the Chicago Cubs.
Britt Reames Pittsburgh Pirates
Owens left his mark on The Citadel’s all-time career lists as he tied Mike Pendleton for ninth place in all-time starts (39). The Summerville, S.C. native finished his career with 11 wins and four saves in 241.2 innings pitched, while also accumulating 207 career strikeouts. Matulia was the 719th pick overall by the Cubs. In his final season, he was tabbed the best defensive shortsop in the SoCon by Baseball America. Matulia tallied a .295 career average and made an assault on The Citadel’s career charts during his tenure as a Bulldog. He finished tied for third in games played (236), fourth in at bats (875), sixth in hits (258), 10th in total bases (365), tied for nineth in doubles (48) and tied for eighth in triples (8).

“Turn Back the Century” The Citadel and cross-town rival College of Charleston paired up to bring the Lowcountry the first annual “Turn Back the Century” game as the two met in a non-conference match-up in 2006. Both teams adorned “throwback” style jerseys from the early 1900s and played with wooden bats, promising fans a night full of entertainment and fun. The Charleston RiverDogs headed up the promotions and created an old-time atmosphere as they gave away replica jerseys to the first 1,000 fans and entertained the crowd with their famed in-between inning stunts. The coaches and umpires even joined in on the festivities as both also wore throwback uniforms, including straw hats for the umps! The Diamond Dogs defeated No. 26 College of Charleston, 4-1, in front of 3,828 fans in the first annual “Turn Back the Century” game hosted at Riley Park.
