Turkey Hughes Field

Turkey Hughes Field Built in the 1960s and named after legendary coach Charles “Turkey” Hughes, Turkey Hughes Field has been the site of 13 EKU Ohio Valley Conference baseball championships. With its convenient and attractive location right on campus next to Alumni Coliseum, “The Turk” is a great place to take in a college baseball game. The field has dimensions of 330 ft. X 410 ft. X 340 ft. and features a bullpen area, hitting cages, ample bleacher space and a press box. In 2009, EKU invested over half a million dollars on Turkey Hughes Field, adding a state-of-the-art synthetic turf infield, a hitter’s eye in center field, netting and a brick wall backstop. The hitter’s eye covers the right field line all the way to the scoreboard to give Turkey Hughes Field a new backdrop. The synthetic turf covers the entire infield, including the base paths and home plate. The only part that remains clay is the pitcher’s mound. Last year, Nearly $100,000 worth of improvements went into extending a brick wall to enclose a beautiful, newly graded and sodded outfield. The renovations will revolutionize the way the EKU baseball program is able to develop its players. The synthetic turf infield will allow the players to practice in spite of bad weather, and far fewer games will be cancelled due to the improvement. “We are very excited about the renovations at Turkey Hughes Field,” head coach Jason Stein said. “The improvements will not only enhance the experience of our players but also the experience of our great fanbase.” The fanbase Stein to which Stein alluded plays an integral part in the team’s success as the Colonels went 19-7 at home in 2009 and 15-6 at home in 2010. Additional renovations to Turkey Hughes Field are expected to occur in the future.

Head Coach Jason Stein At the conference level, four Colonels were named All-OVC following the season, none of whom had received All-OVC recognition before 2009. Davis and Langfels were named first team All-OVC while junior first baseman Anthony Ottrando and freshman shortstop Richie Rodriguez were named to the second team. Rodriguez was the only freshman in the league to earn All-OVC honors. The four All-OVC honorees were the most from EKU since 2006. On top of that, and as an indicator of the direction the program is headed under Stein, three Colonels were named to the OVC All-Freshman Team: Rodriguez, outfielder Michael Garcia and designated hitter Jacob Daniel. A two-time All-OVC honoree for EKU Athletics Hall of Fame coach Jim Ward from 1992-95, Stein later served as an assistant coach to Ward from 1998-2000 before coming to Richmond from Belmont University where he served seven years as an Stein was a .334 hitter for the Colonels from 1992-95 assistant coach, the last two as assistant head coach. “To be able to return to my alma mater and coach on the field where I bled and cried as a player is unbelievable,” Stein said. “Every young coach wants the opportunity to take over a program with a history of excellence and winning championships. To inherit such a program to which I already have strong emotional ties is a dream come true.” Stein has done more than coach winning baseball for his alma mater. Since arriving in 2008, Stein and his staﬀ have raised nearly half a million dollars to be used for renovations to Turkey Hughes Field. In the summer of 2009, a state-of-the-art synthetic turf infield was installed at the field, a brick backstop was put in place, new nets and poles were installed in the outfield and a hitter’s eye was placed in center field. In the summer of 2010, the brick backstop was extended to enclose a beautiful, newly graded and sodded outfield. Stein plans to make at least one addition to the field every year henceforth. Stein has embraced his role as a head coach in the college baseball community, as he has spoken at numerous state and national coaching conventions. In January of 2010, he was selected to give a talk about base stealing called “Stealing the Big Inning” in front of over 3,000 of the top college baseball coaches in the country at the American Baseball Coaches Association’s national convention in Dallas. A native of Ashland, Ky. and a graduate of Paul G. Blazer High School, Stein arrived at EKU as a player in 1992. Noted initially for his glove,

Head Coach • Third Year at EKU

Jason Stein Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1997 Jason Stein is now in his third season as the head baseball coach at Eastern Kentucky University. In just two years on the job, Stein has already produced 11 All-Ohio Valley Conference performers, three All-Americans and one player selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft . Although his stated goal is to win championships, Stein (pronounced STEEN) moved the EKU baseball program in the right direction in 2010 as the Colonels posted a record of 28-27, a team batting average above .300 for the second consecutive season and qualifed for the OVC Tournament following a two-year hiatus. EKU’s bright future was on display at the OVC Tournament as freshman right-hander Anthony Bazzani led the Colonels to their first postseason victory since 2007 by dominating Murray State on the first day of the event, going eight innings and nearly setting a neutral site OVC Tournament record with 10 strikeouts. Stein’s impact in 2010 also stretched outside of the baseball diamond and into the classroom as he was awarded EKU’s Coaches Academic Enhancement Award for his emphasis on acadmics. The baseball team earned a cumulative GPA of 3.03 in the fall of 2010. Upon taking over the Colonel baseball program in the summer of 2008, Stein inherited a team featuring just five pitchers with Division I experience, two of whom recorded a win the previous season and none of whom pitched more than 30 innings; however, powered by Stein’s philosophy of smart at-bats, aggressive base running and solid defense, the Colonels won 27 games in 2009 and, astoundingly, were one win away from making a trip to the OVC Tournament. In just his first year on the job, Stein posted the fourth-best winning percentage (.529) of all 23 first-year Division I head baseball coaches in America. Under Stein’s guidance, EKU’s oﬀense was one of the best in the country in 2009. The Colonels were 10th nationally in batting average (.345), 10th in scoring (9.2 runs/game), fifth in triples (29), seventh in stolen bases (123) and fifth in stolen bases/game (2.41). The Colonels’ success under Stein in 2009 was legitimized by postseason awards. Sophomore third baseman Jayson Langfels, who won the OVC batting title with a .441 batting average and led the country with 1.67 RBI/game, was named a second team All-American by collegebaseballinsider.com and an honorable mention All-Ping performer by ping!baseball. com. Meanwhile, senior outfielder Matt Davis, who was fourth nationally with 1.45 runs/game, was named a Louisville Slugger third team AllAmerican by Collegiate Baseball magazine.

Head Coach Jason Stein specifically his ability to turn the double play, Stein proved his worth at the plate as a sophomore when he won the 1993 OVC batting title with a .378 average. The second baseman was named second team All-OVC that year, and was selected to the OVC All-Tournament team after hitting .400 in post-season play. Stein collected 19 multiple-hit games his sophomore season. As a junior, Stein posted a .301 batting average and was named honorable mention All-OVC, despite missing two weeks of the season with an injury. He was second on the team in hits that season with 56, and finished the year on a tear, hitting safely in 17 of his last 20 games. Stein moved to shortstop his senior year, and was just as productive as the previous two seasons. As a co-captain for the Colonels, he earned first team All-OVC honors in 1995. He batted .333 that season, led the team with 76 hits and only struck out five times in 228 at-bats. Stein finished his Colonel career with a .334 batting average and was named OVC Player of the Week three times. “I was very impressed with Jason when we met because of his baseball knowledge and his passion for EKU,” Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “I am certain he will be an outstanding coach and an excellent representative for the University. Now that he has the opportunity to lead his own program, I believe Jason will prove that he is a rising star in the coaching ranks.” From 1996-97, Stein served as a student assistant under Ward, with his primary on-field duties including working with middle infielders and coaching third base. In 1998, Stein became an assistant coach, and a year later was named recruiting coordinator. As an assistant at EKU, Stein coached more than 15 All-OVC selections, 10 OVC Player of the Week honorees and seven OVC All-Tournament team selections. The Colonels won the OVC regular season title in 2000, and placed in the top three in tournament play all three years Stein was an assistant. Stein served as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Belmont from 2001-05, and was named assistant head coach/recruiting coordinator in 2006. In Stein’s tenure at Belmont, he coached 24 All-Atlantic Sun Conference selections, 120 Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference selections and 16 Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honorees. He recruited or coached nine players selected to play in major league organizations, including the highest draft pick in school history, Blake Owen, who went to the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth round of the 2005 draft. Stein was also responsible for two or more players drafted in back-to-back years for the first time in Belmont’s Division I era. Stein recruited and coached the 2006 Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, Derek Wiley, and also recruited and coached the Atlantic Sun’s first ever dual all-conference selection in Carlo Testa, who was named first team all-conference as a left-handed pitcher and first team all-conference as an outfielder. With Stein’s help, Belmont reached the final game of 2007 Atlantic Sun Conference tournament. The Bruins broke the school record for wins twice during Stein’s tenure, and they also defeated three nationally-ranked teams. Under Stein’s guidance, the Bruins set school records in nearly every single-season oﬀensive category, including most home runs, most RBI,

What others are saying about Jason Stein ... “Jason is an excellent hire for EKU because he really has a passion for that program. He has developed his coaching career at Belmont, and I am confident that he is well-prepared to lead the Colonel baseball program.” --Jim Ward, Former EKU Head Coach “Jason did a tremendous job for us over the seven years that he was here, not only with coaching but with recruiting as well. He is a tremendous asset that we’ll be losing, and we’ll miss him. However, I’m very excited for him, and I expect big things for the EKU baseball program.” --Dave Jarvis, Head Coach, Belmont University “As a former Colonel, I’m extremely happy and excited for EKU that they have hired my former teammate as the new head baseball coach. EKU is not only getting an outstanding coach, but also a quality person in Jason. I’m sure Jason and his players will represent the university in a positive manner on and oﬀ the field. No one worked harder as a player, and Jason has taken that approach to coaching as well. His players will play the game the way it is supposed to be played. EKU will be OVC champs in the very near future.” --Brandon Berger, former EKU and Kansas City Royals Outfielder “I’ve known Jason since he was a player at EKU, and if I had an all-opponent team, he would be on it. Not because he was the greatest player, but because he was a great competitor. When he was interviewing for the EKU job, I asked him ‘How bad do you want this job?’ and he said ‘This is the only job I’ve ever wanted.’ It is his dream job. Jason is a good coach, a good family man, and he will get the support of the community. EKU, and college baseball in general, is getting a great head coach with him.” --Steve Peterson, Head Coach, Middle Tennessee State University “Jason is a very deserving young man, and he’s had a lot to do with Belmont’s success over the past few years. He is a very good recruiter and a very good teacher, and, obviously, he has something invested in that program. Overall, he is a great hire for EKU.” --Tim Corbin, Head Coach, Vanderbilt University

Assistant Coaches

Did You Know ...

Assistant Coach • Third Year at EKU

... Jason Stein and Jerry Edwards were assistant coaches on the last Colonel team to win an OVC Regular Season Championship in 2000?

Jerry Edwards Alma Mater: North Carolina Wesleyan, 1999 Jerry Edwards is in his third season of his second tenure as an assistant/ pitching coach at EKU. Edwards served as the pitching coach at EKU from 1999-2001 under former skipper Jim Ward, and was the interim head coach of the Colonels in between the tenures of Ward and Elvis Dominguez. “Jerry brings 10-plus years experience as a pitching coach at the college level,” head coach Jason Stein said. “As a recruiter, he is a tireless worker, and he has many connections throughout the country.” In 2009, Edwards inherited a pitching staff that had lost nine of 14 arms from the previous season. Only two of his pitchers recorded a win in 2008 and none of them worked more than 30 innings. Edwards, however, was able to piece together a staff that year composed primarily of raw underclassmen, freshmen, and career relief pitchers, and that staff was able to produce 27 wins. One of the raw underclassmen Edwards was able to transform in 2009 was sophomore left-hander Paul Duncan. In 2008, Duncan threw just 14.2 innings and compiled an ERA of 9.20. Under Edwards’ tutelage, however, Duncan recorded a team-high seven wins last season and was one of the OVC leaders with four complete games. Then, on May 1, Duncan, pitched just the sixth no-hitter in school history against Chicago State. Following the no-hitter, Duncan was named a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball magazine and OVC Pitcher of the Week. He was also named to that week’s College Baseball Foundation and Diamond Sports National AllStar Lineup. In 2010, Edwards developed a relatively unknown freshman righthander out of Georgia named Anthony Bazzani. Bazzani was knocked around early in the season in starts against High Point and Southeast Missouri. However, under the persistent guidance of Edwards, Bazzani transformed into one of the top pitchers in the OVC by May. He was named OVC Pitcher of the Week after he worked all nine innings, allowed one earned run, scattered seven hits and struck out six against a tough Jacksonville State lineup on May 15. He then led the Colonels to their first OVC Tournament win since 2007 as he dominated Murray State on May 26, going eight innings and nearly setting a neutral site OVC Tournament record with 10 strikeouts. Bazzani finished the season with a 5-3 record, led EKU in innings pitched (77.1) and opponent batting average (.282) and was named to the OVC All-Freshman Team. Through his recruiting efforts, Edwards has begun to replenish the depth of EKU’s pitching staff. He has brought 24 new faces into to the

EKUSports.com

Source: 2000 EKU Baseball Media Guide program in just over two years, and 13 of those faces have been pitchers. “Jerry is exceptional at finding talented student-athletes from across the country,” Stein said. “And, more importantly, he is great at instructing those student-athletes when they arrive on campus. We are lucky to have such an exceptional teacher of the game on staﬀ.” Edwards arrived at EKU from Louisburg College in Louisburg, N.C., where he was the pitching coach since 2005. While coaching at the two-year college, Edwards saw nine of his pitchers signed by Division I schools, and two of his pitchers drafted and signed in the top 12 rounds of the MLB Draft. Before Louisburg, Edwards served as the head coach at Hiwassee College in Madisonville, Tenn. While at Hiwassee, Edwards saw two of his players taken in the MLB Draft. In between his stints at EKU and Hiwassee, Edwards was an Associate Scout for three years with the Atlanta Braves under the guidance of Area Scouting Supervisor Billy Best. While serving under Ward at EKU, Edwards helped the Colonels to their most recent OVC regular season championship in 2000. Before coaching at EKU, Edwards spent two years at North Carolina Wesleyan College as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator under current North Carolina head coach, Mike Fox. During those two years, he helped lead North Carolina Wesleyan to the 1999 Division III National Championship. Edwards began his coaching career at the Enfield Academy in Whitakers, N.C. under the tutelage of current East Carolina head coach, Billy Godwin. Edwards earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from North Carolina Wesleyan College in 1999, and he earned a master’s degree in physical education/sports administration from EKU in 2001. He lives in Richmond with his wife Amy and their two children Jacob (10) and Claire (8).

Alma Mater: Memphis, 2006

Alma Mater: Tusculum, 2008

John Peterson is beginning his first season as an assistant coach for the Eastern Kentucky University baseball program. Peterson joins the Colonels after spending the last three seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Middle Tennessee State University. His duties at EKU will include working with catchers and hitters and assisting with recruiting. He will also serve as the EKU baseball camps director. “John brings a wealth of knowledge to our baseball program,” Stein said. “He has won championships and he knows what it takes to be a consistent NCAA regional participant. He is an excellent teacher and communicator, and he will work tirelessly at developing our student-athletes and assisting in recruiting quality student-athletes into our program.” While at MTSU, Peterson helped the Blue Raiders win the 2009 regular season and tournament championship in the Sun Belt, one of the premiere college baseball conferences in the country. The Blue Raiders also broke nearly every offensive school record and were one of the top hitting teams in the country during Peterson’s three years at the school. On an individual level, Peterson, who was a catcher during his college playing years, worked with MTSU catcher Drew Robertson during his tenure in Murfreesboro and watched as Robertson was drafted in the 48th round by the Kansas City Royals in the 2010 Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft. Before his stint at MTSU, Peterson served as the hitting and catching coach at Jefferson State Community College in Birmingham, Ala. His duties at Jefferson State included assisting in recruiting, organization of practice and instructing players in hitting mechanics. While there, Peterson worked with a NJCAA third-team All-American catcher. Prior to his stint at Jefferson State, Peterson served as a student coach at the University of Memphis. As a student coach at Memphis, he worked with the pitching staff, implemented defensive drills with small groups and assisted with on-campus recruiting. Peterson played at Memphis as a catcher and first baseman for two years. He transferred to Memphis from Cleveland State Community College in Cleveland, Tenn., where he played as a sophomore. He played ball his freshman year at Jackson State Community College in Jackson, Tenn. Along with his expanse of knowledge, Peterson touts a proven pedigree as he is the son of long-time and highly successful MTSU head baseball coach, Steve Peterson. Peterson married the former Myranda Howland in the summer of 2008 and the couple will reside in Richmond.

Ryan Pfleger is entering his first season as a volunteer assistant baseball coach with the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. Pfleger arrives in Richmond following one season as an assistant coach at Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tenn. His duties at EKU will include working with outfielders, assisting with pitchers and performing other administrative tasks. “Ryan comes very highly recommended to our program and he is a great addition to our staff,” head coach Jason Stein said. “He is an outstanding young coach and his future in the world of college baseball is a bright one.” Before his stint at Columbia State, Pfleger was an assistant coach at Seymour High School in Seymour, Tenn. He was in charge of Seymour’s pitching staff and helped lead the Eagles to a regular season district championship and a run to the regional finals. In the summer of 2009, Pfleger helped coach the Wisconsin Woodchucks of the Northwood Collegiate Summer League, one of the country’s premiere summer college wooden bat leagues. He served as the Woodchucks’ bullpen coach and was also in charge of the pitchers’ conditioning. Under Pfleger’s tutelage, the Woodchucks compiled the fourth lowest ERA in the ten-team league. Pfleger played his college ball at Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn. During his four years at Tusculum, he was a member of four conference championship teams, two conference tournament championships and three NCAA participant teams. As a senior, Pfleger went 3-0 with a 3.27 ERA while leading the Pioneer pitching staff in appearances (all out of the bullpen). Pfleger graduated from Tusculum in 2008 with a degree in history.

2011 Outlook

Season Outlook

Predicted Order of Finish

Although its stated goal is to win championships, the EKU baseball program moved in the right direction in 2010 as the Colonels posted a record of 28-27, a team batting average above .300 for the second consecutive season and qualified for the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament following a two-year hiatus. Picked by league head coaches to finish fifth out of nine OVC teams in 2011, the Colonels return all but three players who saw significant action last season and have their sights set on surprising people with a deep postseason run.

Order of Finish 1. Jacksonville State (4 first-place votes) 2. Southeast Missouri (3) 3. Tennessee Tech (2) 4. Eastern Illinois 5. Eastern Kentucky 6. Murray State 7. Austin Peay 8. Morehead State 9. UT Martin

Pitching “Baseball begins and ends with pitching,” head coach Jason Stein said. “And, fortunately, our pitching staff was a bright spot in the fall and spring.” Plagued by graduation in 2009 and injuries in 2010, the Colonel pitching staff now looks to be as strong, quality and quantity-wise, as it has been in years. Sophomore right-hander Anthony Bazzani, who turned in a masterful performance against Jacksonville State late last season and then perplexed Murray State with a near-record breaking performance in the OVC Tournament, will likely be the opening day starter. Senior left-hander Paul Duncan and senior right-hander Stephen Hefler both worked more than 50 innings in 2010 and will compete for weekend jobs this season, as will senior Chris Hord and junior Matt Fyffe, both of whom missed all of last year due to Tommy John surgery. Freshman southpaw Kyle McGrath, who set the single game Kentucky state tournament record with 16 strikeouts against Boone County as a senior, has thrown well in the preseason and will be in the mix for an immediate weekend job. EKU also returns experienced short and middle relievers in senior closer Ryne Purcell, who tied a program record with 12 saves in 2010 and has been named to the 2011 NCBWA Preseason Stopper of the Year Watch List, junior right-hander Matt Harris, a 2010 OVC Pitcher of the Week who led the Colonels with 42 strikeouts a year ago, junior lefty Greg Terry, who was second on the team with a 5.76 ERA in 2010, sophomore right-hander Austin Rexroat, a midweek starter who picked up wins over Purdue and Marshall last season and solid, strike zone-pounding senior right-hander Macon Smith. Senior Jim Clancy, who served as the Colonels’ closer in 2008 and once struck out six of the first seven batters he faced in an upset over then-No. 25 Louisville, is also back after missing all of last season due to Tommy John surgery. Junior college transfer Lincoln Wagner is slated to serve as Purcell’s set-up man and could also close games in a pinch. Freshmen right-handers Blake Bottoms and Brent Cobb, meanwhile, will earn innings based on their performances.

(Per league head coaches)

Infield Despite losing a pair of All-OVC middle-of-the-lineup corner infielders in Anthony Ottrando and Jayson Langfels, the EKU infield returns the team’s leading hitter from a year ago in junior shortstop Richie Rodriguez. Rodriguez batted .357 in 2010, started every game of the season in the leadoff position and was the fourth toughest batter in the OVC to strike out, registering just 0.31 strikeouts per game. “Richie has exemplified what an everyday shortstop can do and should, both offensively and defensively,” Stein said. The other three infield positions, however, remain somewhat more fluid. Senior Bryce Labhart has won the opening day job at first base and, with his pesky attitude at the plate and .448 on-base percentage as a utility player last year, might bat leadoff. He will be pushed, though, by sophomore Alex Hughes and freshman Mitch Durbin, both of whom are big left-handed bats with power. There has been great competition at second base and the job will fall to, or spread evenly among, junior Dustin Dunlop, sophomore Matt Phipps or freshman Alex Arovits. Freshman Bryan Soloman has shown the ability to field and hit for power and is, thus, the front runner at third base; however, he is also being pushed by the trio of Dunlop, Phipps and Arovits. “Defensively, we struggled in the infield in the fall,” Stein said. “But that has been cleaned up of late and we’re excited to see how the new guys mature.”

Anthony Bazzani will be counted upon to give the Colonels a chance to win every time he takes the mound in 2011

COLONELS

2011 Outlook

Outfield The Colonels return all three starting outfielders from a year ago, but with a twist. Senior Ryan Faidley, who played primarily in left field last year, will move to center field and will be counted on to provide middleof-the-lineup power. Sophomore Austin Grisham, who played primarily in center field last year but can effectively play all three outfield positions, junior Michael Garcia, who played exclusively in right field last year and junior Jacob Daniel, EKU’s lone preseason All-OVC selection at designated hitter who has started just one game in the field his entire career, will compete for the remaining corner outfield spots. Stein noted how improved Daniel’s defense has been in the preseason and how important that is to making the outfield positions more competition-based. Sophomore Jeff Emerich is EKU’s most valuable outfielder off the bench as he can cover ground and provide pinch-hitting. Freshman Michael Buschmann will be used primarily as a pinch-hitter and a designated hitter.

Catchers Freshman Sean Hagen enters the season as the front runner to replace the graduated Joey Stevens. Stein noted that Hagen has the potential to be a complete catcher with the ability to catch, block, hit and handle pitchers. Behind Hagen, though, the Colonels have two solid options in freshman Steve Ferraro, who saw significant action in scrimmages this fall and spring, and junior A.J. Jamison, who will actually be the opening day starter at designated hitter but has started 24 games behind the plate in his career. Junior Brian Shrimpton, who started six of seven games between March 13-20 due to injuries and tied for the team lead with three sacrifice bunts last year, provides additional depth at the catcher position in 2011.

Ryan Faidley will be looked to for strong defense in the outfield, middle-of-thelineup power and leadership

Designated Hitter Junior Jacob Daniel, who hit .292 last season with six home runs, was named Preseason All-OVC at the designated hitter position; however, he might see more time in the outfield this season and will, thus, platoon with junior A.J. Jamison at DH. Jamison suﬀered through numerous injuries in 2010 and only recorded 24 at-bats, but he proved he still had pop in his bat when he played hobbled hero in the OVC Tournament by coming oﬀ the bench cold and providing a pinch-hit RBI double in the top of the ninth that sparked a come-from-behind 4-3 win over Murray State. A slew of underclassmen will provide additional depth at DH, including sophomore Alex Hughes and freshmen Michael Buschmann and Mitch Durbin.

Schedule The Colonels open the season in Malibu, Calif. with a series against Pepperdine, will host such non-conference foes as Penn State, Western Carolina and UNC Asheville and will travel to play at such power conference opponents as Kentucky and West Virginia in 2011. “Our players have seen this tough schedule and are excited about the challenges it poses,” Stein said. “Hopefully it has motivated them throughout the oﬀseason to improve on their weaknesses and their strengths.” EKU’s conference schedule begins on the weekend of March 26-27 when the Colonels travel to Charleston, Ill. to play Eastern Illinois. The Colonels will host conference weekends against Southeast Missouri (April 2-3), Morehead State (April 16-17), UT Martin (April 22-23) and Murray State (May 7-8). They will go on the road for the final conference weekend of the season (May 14-15) to face the defending OVC champion Jacksonville State. The OVC Tournament will again be held at Pringles Park in Jackson, Tenn.

A.J. Jamison has the most experience behind the plate of any Colonel, but will more than likely see most of his action as a designated hitter in 2011
