Head Coach Corey Kemp As a player, Kemp began his outstanding pitching career at Cherry High School where he led his team to the Class A State Championship in 1997. He completed his high school pitching career with a 21-4 record over three seasons of varsity baseball, including a 10-0 mark his senior year. This winning tradition continued with the Saints as Kemp became one of the greatest and most dedicated players in CSS baseball history.
Corey Kemp Head Coach 5th Season
Corey Kemp enters his fifth season as the head coach of the St. Scholastica baseball team in 2014. In his first four seasons, Kemp has guided the Saints to four straight UMAC regular season and tournament championships and four NCAA Regional Tournament appearances. In each of the last three NCAA appearances the Saints have been within two wins of a regional championship.
In the UMAC Tournament his junior season, Kemp surpassed Ben Sickler (20 wins) to become the Saints all-time winningest pitcher and finished his career with 29 wins, still tops in Saints history. Kemp is also the career leader in innings pitched (233) and strikeouts (258). His 2.15 career ERA was also the program’s best upon Kemp’s graduation in 2001.
In his first season, the team broke a program record with 24 consecutive wins and finished with 38 wins overall on the year, the third-most in program history and the most as an NCAA affiliate. In 2012, his team led all NCAA Divisions in runs per game (9.3) and made its second NCAA regional championship game appearance in program history. The Saints finished unbeaten in league play for the first time since 2006 and won their first two games at a NCAA regional for the first time in program history on their way to a third place finish.
Kemp’s abilities didn’t go unnoticed, as he was named UMAC Pitcher of the Year in 2000 and an All-American following his senior season. He also played professionally briefly in 2001 before becoming a coach at St. Scholastica. Kemp was inducted into the St. Scholastica Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002.
He has coached three UMAC Players of the Year and two UMAC Pitchers of the Year. Kemp was named the UMAC Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2011. Kemp earned his 100th coaching victory in 2012, becoming the fastest to reach 100 wins by any coach in CSS Athletics history. Kemp had served as one of the Saints’ top assistant coaches and pitching coach for the previous eight years under the late John Baggs. In his eight seasons as an assistant coach, Kemp has developed one of the top pitching staffs in all of Division III baseball. His Saints hurlers led the nation in ERA in both 2005 and 2006. In 2009, Kemp’s pitchers finished fifth in ERA in the country and third in winning percentage. In his eight seasons as a pitching coach, six of Kemp’s pitchers have gone on to sign professional contracts, including Brett Nyquist who was taken in the 13th round of the 2002 MLB draft by the Montreal Expos and Adian Kummet who was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the June 2009 draft.
“As the new head coach of St. Scholastica Baseball it is my responsibility to continue the success this program has had on and off the field. We will continue to develop student-athletes into talented baseball players, excellent students, and first-class people in the community,” Kemp said. “I want to give each player the experience that Coach Baggs gave me and all the players who played for him. Many of the lessons that he taught me will continue to be shared with future Saints baseball players. As I enter into my first season as a head coach, I understand the value of being surrounded by loyal and knowledgeable assistant coaches. I am proud to say that I have exceptional assistants who have the same love for Saints baseball that I do, and together we will continue to build this program into one of the best in the country.” Year OVERALL UMAC NCAA 2010 38-8 2011 37-7 2012 35-11 2013 29-11 4 Seasons 139-37 (.790)

Tim Anderson Assistant Coach 22nd Season
Justin Harriman
Tim Anderson, a Two Harbors, Minnesota native enters his 22nd year as an assistant at St. Scholastica in 2014. TA graduated from St. Scholastica, Summa cum Laude in 1992, earning academic All-America honors his senior season. He scored the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning of St. Scholastica’s 9-8 victory over Winona State in the 1992 NAIA playoffs. He was an honorable mention All-Region pitcher for the Saints in 1992 and also started at second base. He earned four varsity letters at CSS after collecting four baseball letters at Two Harbors High School. After completing his playing career under the legendary coaching of John Baggs in ’92, Anderson joined Baggs’ coaching staff as a graduate assistant coach the following season. He became the top assistant in ’94 and quickly became one of the region’s most respected baseball coaches. His great contributions to Saints Baseball as a player and coach earned “TA” induction into the St. Scholastica Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. Anderson’s coaching duties include hitting instruction, video tape analysis, outfield play, offensive approach and recruiting. TA has coached well over 100 all-conference and allregion hitters during his coaching career at CSS. In 2009, Anderson’s hitters led the nation in walks, while placing second in doubles and doubles per game. The Saints were also in the top-25 nationally for runs, scoring and batting average. Coach Anderson is described by his players as a “highly knowledgeable, hands-on coach.” “While helping this program grow to such a successful level has been satisfying for me, our program is much more than just winning,” Anderson said. “Teaching our players how to be

Assistant Coach 10th Season
Justin Harriman, an International Falls, Minnesota native is in his 10th year as an assistant at St. Scholastica in 2014. Justin, a former powerhitting catcher for the Saints, was the first player in the program’s history to be selected as a firstteam All-American following his senior season in 2000. Justin ranks in the top five of four different offensive categories at St. Scholastica; his 178 RBIs rank first, 243 hits and 56 doubles rank second, and his 23 home runs rank third. He also holds the team’s record for longest hitting streak, recording a hit in 42 consecutive contests through his junior and senior seasons. Just as notable as his offensive prowess, Justin is also regarded as the program’s top defensive catcher. He was inducted into the St. Scholastica Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001. Following his graduation in 2000, Justin spent one year as an assistant coach before leaving Duluth. He returned to the area and the coaching staff in 2006. His primary duties include working with both catchers and hitters. “This program is about so much more than baseball and the success we’ve achieved on the field,” Harriman said. “When I think of the life-long friendships our players, coaches and our baseball alumni have with each other, it is clear that what we are doing is very unique and special.”

He earned all-region and all-conference honors both seasons, as well as being named the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference’s top pitcher. Burg, a left-hander, who transferred from Valparaiso to St. Scholastica, will work with the Saints pitching staff and assist in recruiting. “I’ve always said that St. Scholastica baseball is even more than what people might expect from a ‘D1’ program, so I feel blessed to begin my coaching career here,” Burg said. “I’m excited to continue to add to our rich tradition as a coach.”
Tom’s coaching responsibilities for the 2012 Saints will include coaching first base, working with the Saints infielders and defensive positioning during games. “Each season brings a new level of excitement for me and for our baseball family,” Berrisford said. “Not only do we have a chance to compete for a national championship year after year, but we continue to develop great players, great people and great relationships every time our team is together.”

We are lucky to have an intelligent and dedicated coach like Brandon Swartz join our experienced coaching staff.”

UPPER MIDWEST ATHLETIC CONFERENCE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS

2014 Baseball Yearbook
Upper Midwest Athletic Conference The Jerome Kruse Memorial Award was created in honor of Mr. Jerome Kruse, the longtime athletic director of Northwestern (Wis.) College and later Martin Luther College. Mr. Kruse’s life ended early, and the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) created the award to honor his dedication to the conference and its student-athletes. The annual award travels to the college that earns the most points, accumulated by the place-finishes of the college’s athletic teams in the final standings of the 17 conference-sponsored sports.
(1) Most amount of points = Kruse Award Winner (2) Points are determined by the number of teams participating in that particular sport. First place points will be given equivalent to the number of teams competing in that particular sport. Second place, third place, etc. in descending order. EXAMPLE If there are 8 teams competing = 1st place gets 8 points, 2nd place gets 7 points, 3rd place gets 6 points, etc. If there are 5 teams competing = 1st place gets 5 points, 2nd place gets 4 points, 3rd place gets 4 points, etc. (3) Provisionary schools and associate members are not eligible for Kruse Award and are not considered in awarding points for regular season finishes (4) If two or more teams tie for the same regular season finish spot, the point value for their corresponding finishes are added together and divided by the number of teams tied, which is then awarded to all of the tied teams. Example - If there is a two-way tie for first place, you would add 8+7 and then divide by 2 so that each team receives 7.5 points.

While the Saints retired Baggs’ #33 jersey May 2nd, 2009, his spirit is with them every time they are together. • 567-204 • .735 winning percentage • 21 All-Americans • 14 players signing professional contracts • 12-time Louisville Slugger Coach of the Year awards • 13 Upper Midwest Athletic Conference championships • 10-time UMAC Coach of the Year

Whitewater, Wis. For the ninth consecutive season and 10th time overall, the St. Scholastica baseball team played in a NCAA Regional Tournament. The regional took place at Prucha Field in Whitewater for the fourth straight year and the saw the Saints as the No. 6 seed in the six-team regional. The usual suspects were back at the regional in St. Thomas, UW-Stevens Point, UW-Whitewater and CSS. The regional featured four of the top 16 teams in the nation. The Saints would go on to beat two of the top five teams in the country and finished in the final three at the regional for the third straight year. Game 1: St. Scholastica 1, St. Thomas 0 - The Saints defeated top-seeded and second ranked St. Thomas to open the regional. The lone run scored in the contest came in the seventh inning when a Tyler Henderson sacrifice bunt would score Andy Schwantes all the way from first base after an error by the Tommies trying to get Schwantes at third base. Kyle Jensen pitched six innings and struck out six to earn the win, while Thomas Rogers earned the threeinning save. Game 2: UW-Stevens Point 6, Benedictine 5 (F/10) Game 3: UW-Whitewater 2, Case Western Reserve 0 Game 4: St. Thomas 10, Benedictine 1 - eliminated Game 5: Case Western Reserve 3, St. Scholastica 1 - The Spartans stayed alive by keeping the CSS offense in check in the victory over the Saints.

Two of the three runs scored by the Spartans came with two outs. Game 6: UW-Stevens Point 7, UW-Whitewater 6 (F/10) Game 7: St. Scholastica 3, UW-Whitewater 2 (F/10) - eliminated - The Saints would not get eliminated by the Warhawks for a fourth straight year as they defeated fifth-ranked UW-Whitewater for the first time in the postseason in program history by a score 3-2. CSS batted last in the contest on Whitewater’s home field and would win it in the bottom of the 10th on a Parker Olson sacrifice fly that scored Jesse Heaton from third base. Jordan O’Neill and Kyle Jensen had the other RBIs in the contest. It was another great pitching perfromance by the Saints, this time by sophomore Mickie Keuning. Keuning went eight innings, scattering five hits and allowing just one earned run. Game 8: Case Western Reserve 7, St. Thomas 3 - eliminated Game 9: UW-Stevens Point 8, St. Scholastica 2 - eliminated - For the third straight year the Saints’ season would end two games shy of a regional championship.

UWSP then added three in the inning and three more in the eighth to make the final 8-2. Kyle Flagstad scored and had a RBI in the loss.

For the third straight year, the Saints would be in Whitewater, but for the first time in program history CSS would play in an eight-team regional. Also for the first time in program history the Saints would win their first two games at a regional and would be playing on the final day of the regional tournament for the second consecutive year. Game 1: UW-Whitewater 2, Concordia-Chicago 1 (F/10) Game 2: St. Thomas 5, St. Norbert 1 Game 3: St. Scholastica 8, North Park 7 - The Saints first erased an early 4-0 deficit and then had to rally from two runs down to ultimately defeat the No. 3 seed North Park 8-7 in the opening round.

Reliever Thomas Rogers had a pitching performance that will go down in Saints history as 6.1 innings of relief, allowing only two hits and striking out three. At one point, Rogers retired 12 straight batters. Olson’s RBI triple in the 13th gave the Saints the lead and ultimately the victory. Game 9: UW-Whitewater 10, UW-La Crosse 7 - eliminated Game 10: Aurora 11, St. Norbert 5 - eliminated Game 11: St. Thomas 22, St. Scholastica 2 - In a battle of the last two unbeatens left at the regional, the Tommies exacted revenge on the Saints after being eliminated by the Saints in 2011.

CSS last gave up 22 runs against South Dakota State in 2003. The Saints gave up 21 runs to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in a 21-13 regional final defeat in 2008. Game 12: UW-Whitewater 6, Aurora 5 (F/10) - eliminated Game 13: UW-Whitewater 6, St. Scholastica 5 - eliminated - The Warhawks eliminated the Saints from the regional for the third straight year when a CSS rally came up short in a 6-5 loss.

NCAA/NAIA Tournament History 2011 NCAA Regional
Whitewater, Wis. For the seventh consecutive season and eighth time overall, the St. Scholastica baseball team played in a NCAA Regional Tournament. Though this wuld be the first time the Saints did not have to sweat it out on selection night as they earned the UMAC’s automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament. For the second consecutive year, the Saints would be in Whitewater with familiar teams like the host UW-Whitewater, UW-Stevens Point and St. Thomas. Also just like 2010, the Saints would be the No. 3 seed in the tournament and would have to battle their way back after dropping their first game. Just like 2008, the Saints would do so and make their second regional final in the last four years with same outcome as the 2008 regional championship. Game 1: UW-Stevens Point 3, Aurora 2 (F/10) Game 2: UW-Whitewater 3, St. Thomas 2 Game 3: Hamline 3, St. Scholastica 2 (F/13) - The Saints had to rally twice, but still fell to the Pipers in 13 innings by a 3-2 score. CSS starter Matt Lewis pitched a phenonmenal game, going 12 innings and allowing only one earned run. Brian Marshik tied the game in the bottom of the ninth and Kyle Moody did the same in the bottom of the 12th. CSS’s magic ran out in the 13th as they could respond a Hamline score in the top half. Game 4: St. Thomas 8, Aurora 3 - eliminated Game 5: St. Scholastica 3, UW-Stevens Point 2 - Unlike 2010, the Saints would not leave Whitewater with a 0-2 record as starting pitcher Kyle Jensen kept the Pointers in check and snapped a three-game losing streak to Stevens Point with a 3-2 victory. After falling behind 1-0 early, the Saints plated two in the second and then added another in the seventh on a Tom Juberian RBI to make it 3-1. Jake Nystrom closed the door on the Pointers late. Jensen struck out five to earn the win. Game 6: UW-Whitewater 7, Hamline 6 (F/10) Game 7: UW-Stevens Point 5, Hamline 1 - eliminated Game 8: St. Scholastica 2, St. Thomas 1 - eliminated - The Saints kept the stellar pitching going in another elimination game as it was freshman Andy Davis’ time to shine, tossing a complete-game to end regional rival St. Thomas’ season by a 2-1 score. Joe Link scored the game-winning run in the sixth inning when he stole second and then advance all the way home off a Tommies error. Davis did not walk a batter and scattered seven hits, while striking out two in the victory as the Saints ended St. Thomas’ season for the second time in the last four years. Game 9: UW-Whitewater 2, UW-Stevens Point 1 - eliminated Game 10: UW-Whitewater 6, St. Scholastica 3 - eliminated - The Saints and Warhawks matched up once again in the regional championship with the Saints having to beat the Warhawks twice to advance, while Whitewater just needing one win.

The Saints scored first in the top of the fourth on a RBI double by Brandon Peterson. With Lewis still dealing, CSS extended its lead to 3-0 on back-to-back doubles by Kyle Moody and Jake Casareto. The Warhawks started to get to Lewis in the bottom of the frame with a pair of runs in the innings, chasing Lewis out of the game. Whitewater took the lead for good in the bottom of the seventh with four runs in the inning, including three on a home run. The Saints could not muster a rally as the Warhawks ended the Saints’ season 6-3. Lewis allowed just four hits and struck out three in 5.2 innings. Both he and Brandon Peterson were named to the regional all-tournament team. UW-Whitewater advances to the NCAA Div.-III World Series.
2010 NCAA Regional
Whitewater, Wis. For the sixth straight year and seventh time overall, the CSS baseball team earned a bit to the NCAA Midwest Regional. CSS was the third seed in the regional and one of four teams to finish the season with at least 30 wins. Despite the hosts from UW-Whitewater forcing a two-game final with a dominant win over UW-Stevens Point in game one, the Pointers held on for a one-run win in the championship game to advance to the NCAA Div.-III World Series. Game 1: UW-Whitewater 6, Aurora 1
Game 2: St. Thomas 14, Carthage 6 Game 3: UW-Stevens Point 12, St. Scholastica 1 - The Saints stumbled out of the blocks with an uncharacteristically quiet offensive output against the Pointers. Stevens Point struck early and often including a four-run first inning capped by a three-run homer by Sam Spurney. Jeff Adams took his first loss of the year on the mound, as the Saints amounted just four hits on the afternoon. Game 4: Carthage 10, Aurora 5 - eliminated Game 5: UW-Whitewater 6, St. Scholastica 2 - eliminated - The Saints again struggled to find their offense after giving up a crooked number in the top of the first inning. Falling behind 4-0 before their second set of outs, the Saints were able to pull within two in the bottom of the second by stringing together a series of singles. Matt Lewis tossed 8.2 innings on the hill and allowed just three earned runs, but CSS couldn’t get back on the scoreboard after the second and saw its season come to an end.

2009 NCAA Regional
Oshkosh, Wis. As in years past, the Midwest regional proved to be one of the toughest in the NCAA Division III National Baseball Tournament. The tournament featured four nationally-ranked teams, including St. Scholastica at 10th in the D3baseball. com poll. The University of St. Thomas held off elimination and edged St. Olaf twice on the final day to advance to the World Series, which they would eventually win and claim their second national title. Game 1: St. Olaf 2, Beloit 1 (F/11) Game 2: St. Thomas 5, UW-Stevens Point 4 (F/17) Game 3: St. Scholastica 7, St. Norbert 6 (F/11) - Paul Kolodge laced an 11thinning RBI single through the left side of the infield to push the Saints past the Green Knights of St. Norbert. CSS jumped on the board first, as Brian Marshik smacked a leadoff homer to start the bottom of the first inning and the Saints added another run. Three more runs on a pair of St. Norbert errors in the fourth frame gave CSS a 5-0 advantage. A Saints fielding miscue resulted in four Green Knights runs in the top of the fifth. The two teams traded runs, but a solo homer by St. Norbert in the top of the ninth sent the game into extra innings. Peter Burg worked the first seven innings, allowing three earned runs, before Josh Retka relieved and picked up the extra-innings victory. Game 4: UW-Stevens Point 8, Beloit 2 - eliminated Game 5: St. Olaf 8, St. Norbert 4 - eliminated Game 6: St. Thomas 8, St. Scholastica 4 - For six dazzling innings Adian Kummet dominated the Tommies of St. Thomas and staked the Saints to a 3-0 lead.

The Saints extended the lead to 4-0 on a Kyle Wojtysiak steal of home during a double-steal opportunity with Chad Peterson. The Tommies finally touched Kummet for a single run in the seventh, before exploding for seven runs in the bottom of the eighth. Nick Lee finished with a pair of hits to pace the Saints. Game 7: St. Olaf 5, St. Thomas 2 Game 8: UW-Stevens Point 9, St. Scholastica 3 - eliminated - Matched up against each other for the sixth time in the NCAA tournament since 1999, the Pointers were helped to victory by five unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.

2007 NCAA Regional
Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. Traditionally regarded as the strongest Regional Tournament in the NCAA Div.III National Baseball Tournament, the 2007 NCAA Regional became a bit of a one-man show in UW-Stevens Point’s Jordan Zimmermann. The Pointers rode Zimmermann’s arm and bat to the World Series, despite being hit hardest by the St. Scholastica Saints. Zimmermann went on to be selected in the second round of the MLB Draft in July. Game 1: UW-Stevens Point 11, St. Scholastica 3 - For the third consecutive season, the Pointers and Saints locked horns in the opening contest of the NCAA Midwest Regional Tournament. The Saints defeated the Pointers and Jordan Zimmermann 4-3 in 2006, but UWSP had downed CSS 7-6 early in the 2007 regular season. The Pointers plated single runs in each of the first three innings against Saints senior starter Mark Moriarty. Moriarty worked five strong innings with seven strikeouts. CSS touched up Zimmermann and tied the game with a solo homerun by Kyle Wojtysiak in the third inning and a two-run blast by Mike Lewis in the fourth. The game remained knotted at 3-3 until the bottom of the seventh, when the Saints’ defense uncharacteristically collapsed. Eight unearned runs in two frames pushed the Pointers to the victory and only two of UWSP’s 11 runs were earned. Game 2: St. Thomas 5, UW-Oshkosh 1 Game 3: Ripon 4, St. Olaf 1 Game 4: UW-Oshkosh 11, St. Scholastica 5 - eliminated - The Titans took advantage of the long ball and the short fences of Witter Field with a pair of two-run homers in the early innings. The Saints, trailing 6-0 and held to one hit through four innings, scored three runs but left the bases loaded in the fifth inning.

Game 5: St. Olaf 7, UW-Stevens Point 3 Game 6: St. Thomas 9, Ripon 3 Game 7: UW-Stevens Point 11, Ripon 10 - eliminated Game 8: UW-Oshkosh 5, St. Olaf 4 - eliminated Game 9: UW-Stevens Point 6, St. Thomas 3 Game 10: UW-Oshkosh 5, St. Thomas 4, (11) - eliminated Game 11: UW-Stevens Point 6 – UW-Oshkosh 0 UW-Stevens Point earns berth in the NCAA III World Series

NCAA/NAIA Tournament History 2006 NCAA Regional
Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. In arguably the strongest Regional in the 2006 NCAA National Baseball Tournament, the Saints edged the hottest team entering the tournament (UW-Stevens Point) before dropping their next two contests. The Pointers battled back through the loser’s bracket to advance to the World Series. St. Scholastica, who finished the regular season ranked fourth in the polls was awarded the No. 4 seed. Game 1: St. Scholastica 4, UW-Stevens Point 3 - For the second consecutive year, St. Scholastica defeated UW-Stevens Point in the first round of the NCAA Div.-III tournament as the Saints edged the Pointers 4-3. The Saints took advantage of limited opportunities against the Pointers’ pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, scoring four runs on just four hits without leaving a runner on base. After spotting the Pointers a run in the opening frame, St. Scholastica tied the score in the bottom of the first inning when Chad Weiss led off with his third home run of the season. Offense was hard to come by, as Saints starter Mark Moriarty matched Zimmerman pitch-for-pitch for over six innings. Kyle Wojtysiak gave the Saints the lead for good with a two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning. Moriarty, who allowed two earned runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts was relieved by freshman closer Adian Kummet, who earned his third save of the season. Game 2: St. Olaf 17, Dominican 8 Game 3: Coe 5, St. Thomas 4 (10) Game 4: Ripon 14, St. Scholastica 8 - Thirteen hours after downing the Pointers in a game featuring great pitching and little offense, the Saints fell in a shootout against Ripon. The Saints jumped on the board early, with two runs in the top of the first, but the Red Hawks answered with four runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. A Brandon Swartz RBI in the top of the second trimmed the lead to 4-3 and took a 6-4 lead in the fourth, but Ripon notched three runs to take the lead in the bottom of the frame. The Saints battled back, but the Hawks stood strong, adding five runs in the eighth to secure victory.

2005 NCAA Regional
Whitewater, Wis. The Saints battled in perhaps one of the toughest Regionals of the 2005 NCAA National Baseball Tournament, beating the region’s top seed, but falling to the eventual National Champion. Game 1: UW-Whitewater 7, St. Thomas 4 Game 2: St. Scholastica 5, UW-Stevens Point 3 - St. Scholastica senior pitcher Jake Eiler had a stellar outing against top-seeded Stevens Point, earning a complete-game win after surrendering three runs on seven hits while collecting 11 strikeouts without a walk. Sophomore Brandon Swartz’s three-run home run in the top of the 2nd put the Saints ahead 3-1. Tied 3-3 enterting the top of the 6th, back-to-back two-out singles put the Saints ahead as Kenny Kolqusit batted in Mike Lewis. Tom Simonson scored an insurance run after a D.J. Lahti single in the 7th. Eiler allowed two harmless singles and a total of three baserunners over the final five innings, striking out nine of the final 17 batters. Game 3: UW-Stevens Point 2, St. Thomas 0 - eliminated Game 4: UW-Whitewater 6, St. Scholastica 0 - Whitewater kept the Saints offense at bay as Ryan Bruns, Mike Lewis, and Kenny Kolquist collected the only hits in the game for St. Scholastica. The Warhawks used a trio of extra-
base hits to break out to an early advantage. A solo home run in the 1st put Whitewater on top, then a double and a two-run homer in the 2nd opened up a 3-0 lead that the Saints were never able to chip into. Joey Calaguire took the loss, allowing five earned runs on seven hits, three strikeouts, and no walks. Game 5: UW-Stevens Point 18, St. Scholastica 3 - eliminated - The Pointers jumped on the Saints for seven runs in the top of the 1st and never looked back.

2000 NAIA Regional/Super Regional
Sioux City, Iowa. Following a record-setting regular season, the Saints breezed through the UMAC Tournament to earn a berth in the NAIA Region 3 Tournament held in Sioux City, Iowa. The Saints wasted no time showing why they were on a 20-game winning streak by winning the first two contests of the tournament by a combined score of 22-2. CSS topped Sioux Falls University 13-1 behind a complete-game performance from Joe Wicklund. Wicklund allowed only four hits while striking out seven and walking none. Josh Lamppa led the Saints past Huron University 9-1, tossing a seven-hitter with five strikeouts. Chris LePine had six hits and six runs in the two games and Leland Swenson knocked in six runs. The Saints then sent ace pitcher Corey Kemp to face perennial power Mayville State (N.D.) University. Kemp battled, allowing four earned runs while striking out seven in 7 1/3 innings. The Saints scored three runs in the bottom of the second to break a 1-1 tie, including a solo homer by Nick Bjerken. CSS scored four more runs in the fifth inning, three coming on a triple by Greg Young. Young finished the day 4-for-5 with three RBIs. Freshman Brett Nyquist finished off the 12-6 victory with 1 1/3 innings of perfect relief. “The thing that was nice to see against Mayville State was that our younger guys played so well,” Saints coach John Baggs said after the game. “We expect our seniors to be playing well, they’re at the end of their careers. But the younger kids have been outstanding; we had two sophomores and two freshmen who were 11-for-19.” Riding a school-record 23-game winning streak, the Saints faced No. 2 seed and tournament host Briar Cliff University. The Saints fell behind 9-0 early and were never able to regroup as the Chargers’ bats never cooled off in an 18-11 victory. Staring season-ending elimination in the face, the Saints did the obvious … they switched uniforms, to their favorite gold with pinstripes; a uniform combination they’d never lost in. The new-look Saints took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a single by Young, a triple by Swenson and a sacrifice fly by Derek Bilben. CSS scored four more in the fourth, highlighted by Bilben’s homer, to extend their lead to 10-3. St. Scholastica never looked back, winning 15-9. Bilben finished the day with four hits, a school-record eight RBIs and a prolific homerun. Freshman left-hander Nick Bjerken started and Nyquist pitched five innings of relief to get the win, allowing eight hits and three runs. Sophomore Dan Birkholz went the last two innings to earn the save. Following the regional championship, the Saints hosted former national champion Bellevue (Neb.) University in the Super Regional at Wade Stadium in a best-of-three series. 1,420 fans were on hand to see the opening game, one of the most memorable in St. Scholastica athletics history. Bellevue built a four-run lead, scoring two runs in the second on catcher Kevin Bratetic’s two-run homer and two more in the sixth on designated hitter Nate Lueder’s two-run double. The Bruins made it 7-3 when Saints’ relievers Josh Lamppa and Nyquist struggled, walking in two of three runs in relief of starter Wicklund. The Saints battled back with five runs in the top of the eighth inning to

NCAA/NAIA Tournament History take an 8-7 lead. The Bruins tied the score with a run in their half of the eighth, and a scoreless ninth In the tenth, following a Bilben triple, Justin Harriman ripped an RBI single to plate the Saints’ ninth run. Bjerken then slashed a triple down the rightfield line to knock in three more runs. The Saints added another run to push the lead to 13-8. CSS again gave the ball to Birkholz and he delivered, slamming the door on the Bruins in the bottom of the inning. Birkholz worked 2 1/3 innings to pick up the win, strking out four of the seven batters he faced. The tournament-tested Bruins toppled the Saints in the second game by a 14-7 score, forcing a third and deciding contest. With a record-breaking 1,630 fans on hand, the Saints took on the Bruins for the fifth time in the 2000 season. CSS fell behind 4-0 in the second inning, but ignited the crowd with a four-run rally in the top of the third. Swenson, Harriman, junior Joey Wood and Bjerken each hit RBI singles. But it was all the Saints could muster against Bellevue, as the Bruins posted two more runs in the third and six runs in the fifth. The 13-4 victory sent Bellevue (49-26) to their fourth-straight NAIA World Series and ended the Saints season at 41-11. “I don’t know what is harder; seeing the seniors lose this game after all the hard work they’ve put in over the last four years, or knowing that next year I won’t have Justin Harriman catching,” Baggs said to reporters following the game. “And I won’t have Leland Swenson starting at shortstop or Chris LePine in centerfield – or Joe Wicklund or Josh Lamppa in the pitching rotation. That’s what’s going to be tough. I’ll miss these seniors like no other class.”
Game 4: St. Thomas 3 – UW-Oshkosh 2 Game 5: UW-Oshkosh 5 – St. Scholastica 4 (11), eliminated For the third consecutive NCAA tournament game, the Saints rallied from behind making their mark as a team that would never quit. Justin Harriman’s two-run single in the 5th inning capped a three-run rally and gave the Saints a 4-3 lead. The Titans tied the game in the bottom of the inning and the teams remained scoreless for six innings as Oshkosh’s Jack Taschner and the Saints’ Adam Barta settled in for a pticher’s duel. The Titan’’s Casey Kopitzke scored an unearned run in the bottom of the 11th to send Oshkosh to its 18th consecutive Regional Championship game. Chris LePine and Jeff Lahti each had two hits for the Saints and Kopitzke had two hits for Oshkosh. The Saints ended the winningest season in school history with a 35-12 record.

In the bottom of the 11th, Titan All-American catcher Casey Kopitzke singled over a drawn-in outfield to give Kevin Grater the victory.

His 24 home runs are the third-most for any Saints hitter and his 178 runs batted in are the most in program history. Most would argue his most impressive accomplishment was his 42-game hitting streak from 1999-2000, but those in attendance would argue his walk-off home run in 1999 that gave the Saints their first ever win in an NCAA Tournament. Although he had a strong dislike for pitchers, Harriman was responsible for much of the success Saints pitchers endured during his four years behind the plate. Harriman was a four-time All-UMAC selection and three-time All-Region honoree.

Greg Young Class of 2002
3
Greg Young’s legacy in Saints baseball history was created with his bat as he is possibly the greatest hitter to ever wear the Saints uniform. In his freshman season in 1999, “GY” appeared in 14 games and collected only 4 hits, but one was a home run. His sophomore season was sensational, posting a .444 batting average, 44 RBIs, 28 stolen bases, and a slugging percentage of .630. Over the next two years Greg began to cement himself in CSS baseball glory, hitting .474 in 2001 and .465 in 2002 – the two highest batting averages during a single season in the program’s history. “GY” is the all-time leader in batting average at .455 and also sits atop the slugging percentage list at an amazing .767. His 24 home runs rank second for a career, as do his 176 RBIs. Additionally, he is the single season leader in stolen bases with 40. Young was named UMAC Player of the Year twice and received All-UMAC honors a third time. He was the 2001 Region Player of the Year while receiving three All-Region nods. He also received All-American honors twice.

Derek Bilben knocked 34 career home runs – the most by any Saint – and didn’t even play four years with the eam. Bilben is also the single-season leader with 16 round trippers, may have been the most feared Saints hitter to opposing hurlers. Standing at 6’1’’ 215 pounds, Bilben was responsible for much of the Saints offensive success from 1998-2000. During the Regional Championship game in 2000, Bilben put the Saints on his back and drove in 8 runs, leading his team to their first and regional title. Bilben was a three-time All-UMAC selection and named All-Region in 1998.

The first great center fielder and lead-off hitter in Saints history, Chris LePine was the motor of the Saints. The program’s career hit leader with 245, he also ranks second in runs with 227, fourth in doubles with 54, and second in stolen bases with 96. His 83 hits in 2000 tie him with Leland Swenson for the most in a single season, and his 80 runs scored are the most ever in one season. LePine was also well known for his ability to chase down any ball hit his way. He galloped from gap to gap, turning would-be hits into outs. But perhaps the most electrifying weapon in his arsenal was his ability to run the bases, turning singles into doubles and doubles into triples. LePine was named an All-UMAC selection in each of his four years as a Saint and received All-Region honors twice, including an All-American selection in 2000.

Another great centerfielder in Saints baseball history, Josh Wettlaufer began his career as a freshman in 2001 and was instantly inserted into the starting line up. Over his four-year career, Josh played in 176 games, missing just six. Josh was the spark plug of the Saints during his tenure. He ranks first in career runs scored with 253 and also in stolen bases with 101. He is third in career hits with 240 and batting average at .408. Wettlaufer was not your stereotypical lead-off hitter who would hit singles and steal bases. He also possessed the ability to hit the long ball and following zero homeruns during his freshmen year, he went on to hit 15 over the next three years – including ten during his senior season to go along with a team-high .463 batting average and 30 stolen bases. During Josh’s senior season, his team won a program-best 42 games – and he was leading the way. Wettlaufer is a four-time All-UMAC selection including two Player of the Year nods. He was named Region Player of the Year twice and an All-American in 2003.

A hard-throwing righty from the early days of Saints baseball, Chad Avikainen was the most dominating pitcher of his era, tossing two no-hitters during his three years as a Saints pitcher. At the conclusion of his career in 1995, “Avi” was the program’s leader in wins, ERA, and strikeouts. He finished his career with 13 wins, a 2.70 ERA, 160 innings pitched and 160 strikeouts. In a period of Saints baseball where wins did not come easy, Avi’s teams set program records for wins each year he played for the Saints -- winning 16 games in 1993, 18 games in 1994, and, finally, 24 games in 1995. In 1995, Avikainen was named an All-Region pitcher and received All-District honors twice.

The first Saint to be selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, Brett Nyquist, was chosen by the Montreal Expos in the 13th round of the 2002 MLB draft. During his three-year career at CSS, the six-foot-seven-inch left-hander, developed into the hardest thrower in the program’s history – topping out at 94 miles per hour during junior season. Major League scouts were a common sight when he was on the mound in 2002, as he posted a singleseason best 1.09 ERA and struck out 83 batters while holding them to a .198 batting average. During his sophomore season he tossed a complete-game no-hitter against the number one team in the country, the University of St. Thomas, and during his freshmen year, he earned the win in the Saints’ regional championship game. His postseason honors included two All-UMAC selections including being named 2002 UMAC Pitcher of the Year as well as All-Region and All-American nominations in the same season.

Tied for second in career wins with 24, fourth in career strikeouts with 238, and posting the second-lowest single-season ERA at 1.51 and third-highest singleseason strikeout total with 93, Jake Eiler was a work horse for his Saints teams. Jake drew the Saints toughest opponents over his final two seasons for the Saints, meeting the challenge each time he took the mound. During his junior and senior seasons, Jake was a combined 18-3 with 177 strikeouts compared to only 15 walks. Eiler was named All-UMAC four times including a Pitcher of the Year nod in 2005.

Another former ace for the Saints pitching staff, Mark Moriarty finished his career with 52 appearances, the most for any Saints pitcher, and 23 wins, the third most all-time. He also posted the second highest total for career strikeouts with 257. During his sophomore season, “Mo” struck out 106 batters, the second-most in a single season for a Saints pitcher. He is also the current record holder for the most strikeouts in a single game with 16. During the NCAA Tournament in 2006, Morirarty outdueled a future Major Leaguer in the Washington Nationals’ Jordan Zimmerman to give the Saints a 4-3 win. In the summer of 2009, Moriarty played professional ball himself for the St. Paul Saints.

The soft-throwing lefty relied on a mix of 79-mile per hour fastballs, slow changeups, and an even slower curve ball, to earn the most wins in the program’s 25 year history. His career totals of 29 wins, 233 innings and 258 strikeouts are all tops for a Saints pitcher, and his 11 wins in 2000 tied him with Ben Sickler for the most in a single season by a Saints pitcher. As a sophomore in 1999, “CK” came out of the bullpen to pitch 8 innings and earn the first ever win for the Saints in an NCAA Tournament when Justin Harriman hit a walk off homerun against Wis.-Stevens Point. Kemp was a great example of how working fast, changing speeds, and throwing strikes can make you a successful college pitcher. He was named UMAC Pitcher of the Year twice (2000, 2001) and received All-UMAC honors in each of his four years at CSS. “CK” earned All-Region and All-American honors twice in his four-year career.

The third Saint to play for a major league organization, Adian Kummet, was drafted in the 31st round by the Cincinnati Reds in June 2009. During his career at CSS, Kummet earned 24 wins – the second-most in program history and carried the third-lowest career ERA at 1.86. He appeared in 50 games for the Saints, but only 24 of those appearances came as the starting pitcher. The other 26 were out of the bullpen as the Saints closer, recording nine saves and helping his team win numerous close games by shutting down the opposition in the late innings. Kummet overpowered opposing batters with his sweeping slider and lively fastball by striking out 215 batters (fifth-most all-time) in 198 innings. The 2007 UMAC Pitcher of the Year, Kummet earned all-conference and all-region honors each of his four years at CSS and was named an All-American in 2009.

John Baggs Head Coach
Hired at the young age of 24, Coach Baggs was the youngest college baseball head coach in the country. He inherited a baseball program that had won only 34 games during its first five years – and had never won more than 11 games in a single season. It did not take long for Coach Baggs to change the culture of his new program. They won 11 games in his first season of 1992, the following year 16 wins, the next year 18, then 26. In 1996, his team won 33 games; in 1997, 33 more. For his career, Coach Baggs had 567 wins in 18 years.. Although he valued a victory, what was more important to him was developing quality student-athletes who were good students and even better people in the community. He cared about the accomplishments they would achieve in their life after baseball and was always there for support. Every strong family has a leader, and for 18 years, John Baggs was the leader of Saints Baseball– and even though he is not with us on the field today, he will always be leading The Saints Baseball Family in our hearts.
