The Student-Athlete Enhancement Center (SAEC) at MTSU houses the academic support system and the Blue Raider Athlete Skills for Success (B.R.A.S.S.) Life Skills program for all 17 Division I-A sports. The center is housed at Johnny “Red” Floyd Football Stadium on Raider Drive. The facility opened its doors on January 4, 1999, to the delight of studentathletes, coaches, and administrators. Blue Raider student-athletes can take advantage of the library-like atmosphere as they report for their required study hall hours under the watchful eyes of director Todd Wyant, recently hired in October; assistant director and coordinator of B.R.A.S.S. Wynnifred Counts, and assistants Debbie Carroll and Angel Nathan. The center consists of administrative offices, fully equipped individual and group tutoring rooms, a computer center, and spacious study carrels equipped with task lighting. Services provided by the center include help with registration and preregistration, help with study skills, and updates on NCAA legislation. The center uses an innovative objective study table program, which includes daily mentoring and constant tutoring. Tutors in various subjects are scheduled in the tutoring rooms throughout all hours of operation, and all tutoring takes place at the center. The SAEC staff is responsible for daily monitoring of the studentathletes progress, providing daily reports to coaches and meeting with the entire coaching staff weekly. The mission of the center is to help student-athletes take skills learned on the field and turn them into positive preparation for life after college. The center is also committed to meeting the changing needs of student-athletes. It continues to promote partnerships between the University, the NCAA, and the Murfreesboro community to help achieve its goals. In addition to providing the academic support needed to be successful in the classroom, the center is committed to meeting the needs of student-athletes in life skills development through the very popular B.R.A.S.S. program. As B.R.A.S.S. coordinator, Counts is dedicated to helping prepare student-athletes for life after college. Blue Raiders volunteer, when possible, to help teachers and students at elementary and middle schools throughout Rutherford County during the academic year. In 2006, the athletic department began a mentoring program with the city schools in which the student-athletes and coaches help tutor kids. In the spring of each year, Special Olympics at Middle Tennessee uses Blue Raider student-athletes to run each event. Career night and substance and alcohol abuse seminars are yearly, well-attended events. The Student-Athlete Enhancement Center is just one way that Middle Tennessee is helping to prepare student-athletes for life after college.
In the
Community ď Ž The Blue Raiders are active in community service events, with camps and clinics throughout the year. Middle Tennessee athletes also participate in Reading Raiders, help make up the B.R.A.S.S. program, and work with the Boys and Girls Club of Rutherford County. In the fall of 2007, the baseball team played host to a camp and free clinic for a La Vergne baseball league. The Reading Raiders began in 1993 and is designed to allow Middle Tennessee athletes the opportunity to give back to the community by getting involved in the lives of children. In this program, Middle Tennessee athletes serve as role models and motivators encouraging the importance of reading and proper study skills for students in the Murfreesboro City Extended Schools Program. The B.R.A.S.S. program is another vehicle that encourages student-athletes to become involved in service activities. Through the program, Middle Tennessee hosts the Special Olympics each April. Athletes also visit area schools during the course of the year and read to the students. They also visit the Veterans Hospital each month to talk with the patients and exercise with them. The Reading Raiders and the B.R.A.S.S. programs are directed by Wynnifred Counts.

Sports Medicine Health care is one of the most important aspects of a student-athlete’s
life, and no university is more committed to keeping athletes healthy than Middle Tennessee. MTSU provides student-athletes with one of the finest athletic training facilities in the nation. Head Athletic Trainer Drew Shea and the Sports Medicine staff have set liberal hours to make sure each student-athlete has his or her needs met. The Sports Medicine facility opens early each morning and doesn’t close until all student-athletes have been treated. The Sports Medicine facility contains a complete injury rehabilitation center, new rehab equipment, two full-size whirlpools, a dressing area for athletes, and a private office for the team physicians. In the summer of 2008, new Mondo Ramflex flooring was added to provide a safe and healthy environment for the student-athletes and new treatment tables were added in 2009. There is no waiting in the Sports Medicine facility since there are nine taping stations, multiple state-of-the-art modalities, and a new rehabilitation area. All of the equipment is top of the line. Athletes can use a full-stride treadmill, a stairmaster, and an exercise bike during their rehabilitation. One of the most recent additions to the equipment is a $15,000 K-Laser which helps speed up the healing process, enabling student-athletes to return to competition at a faster rate. A fully stocked physician’s examination room for the resolution of any minor issues that a student-athlete may encounter without having to take more time-consuming measures. There is also a C-Arm portable X-Ray machine on site. Shea and his assistants each have an office in the Sports Medicine facility, and there is work space for the nine graduate assistants. Each office is selfcontained, allowing private consultations with injured student-athletes.

One of the biggest changes in college athletics over the past few years has been the attitude toward strength and conditioning. Performing in the weight room has become just as important as on-the-field competition, and Middle Tennessee has one of the very best staffs in the nation committed to making student-athletes the best they can be. It all happens in the Blue Raiders’ 10,000-plus square foot weight room facility located adjacent to the north end zone of Floyd Stadium and designed for use by all Middle Tennessee student-athletes. It is a strength training area that rivals any in the country. The weight room has been described by many people as better than any in the immediate area, including those at SEC and Conference USA schools. The facility, which opened in January of 1999, greets student-athletes with over 20,000 pounds of plates and dumbbells, but the sheer volume of weights is not the most impressive aspect of the room. It is equipped with nine full power racks, nine elevated platforms, and nine half-racks. Hammer strength equipment rounds out the room with five ground-base jammers, a dead lift, a leg press, a leg curl, and a leg extension. Other Hammer strength equipment in the facility includes a bench press, a military press, a rowing machine, neck machine, pull-up, and pull-over. An impressive array of dumbbells is also provided for the student-athletes’ use. Two sets each of dumbbells ranging from five to 150 pounds are kept on racks around the room.

City of
Murfreesboro Rutherford is the fastest growing county in Tennessee.
– U.S. Census Bureau, May 2009 Murfreesboro named one of “The Best Places to Raise Your Kids.” – Business Week, November 2008 A student-athlete’s life involves more than academics and athletics. Like most college students, student-athletes need to enjoy themselves, relax, and have a good time, and Murfreesboro fits the bill. Murfreesboro is one of the fastest growing cities in the south with a population of 100,000. Rutherford County has more than 250,000 residents. A short 40-minute drive from Nashville, Music City U.S.A., Murfreesboro is a large city with a small-town atmosphere. Murfreesboro has many appealing places to shop, eat, and socialize. One of the largest outdoor shopping malls in the region, the Avenue of Murfreesboro, opened in 2007. This specialty center combines premier national retailers, select local merchants, and specialty restaurants in an attractive setting that is popular with all students. There are several beautiful parks and greenways throughout the city, and numerous lakes are located close by for swimming, water skiing, and boating. History buffs will enjoy the 600-acre Stones River Battlefield, Oaklands historic site, the Sam Davis home, Fortress Rosecrans, and Cannonsburgh Village. All are rich in history and welcome visitors.
Murfreesboro has been ranked as one of America’s top 100 places to live by CNNMoney magazine.
City of
Nashville Nashville: Music City U.S.A.
MTSU thrives in the radiant glow of Nashville’s exponential growth. Some major
metropolitan areas overshadow their neighbors, but Nashville provides unprecedented economic and media support. Davidson County saw a nearly 14% population growth from 1990 to 2002, and Rutherford County boomed with a 62% increase. (Regional Profile, Nashville Chamber of Commerce, 2003) Living up to the title of Music City U.S.A. requires a more-than-impressive collection of media outlets, coverage, and support. The Tennessean, Nashville Business Journal, and the City Paper each provide superior coverage, and eight local television stations and 29 radio stations never miss a moment of news, weather, and sports action in and around Davidson County. The Sun Belt Conference and its members have access to and are able to draw from the seemingly limitless resources offered by Middle Tennessee’s proximity to Nashville.
Blue Raiders reach Davidson County alums
MTSU has more than 14,000 alumni in greater Davidson county, and the Blue
Raider athletic department has a far-reaching impact into the Nashville area. The Blue Raiders regularly compete in Music City in order to help reach more of their vast, growing fan base. MTSU defeated Vanderbilt at Dudley Field in 2001, 2002, and 2005, and the Blue Raiders played host to Big East foe Louisville at LP Field in 2006, the first time the football program played a home football game in Nashville as a Division I-A member. The game was televised nationally on ESPN2 and drew a record home crowd for the Blue Raiders. In 2007, MTSU joined forces with WKU to put on the Sun Belt Classic basketball doubleheader, which saw the Blue Raiders take on No. 2 Memphis followed by WKU and No. 10 Tennessee. Both games were nationally televised and drew a Bridgestone Arena regular season record 18,071 fans.

Retreat Task Force on Higher Education. McPhee was recently reelected to a second three-year term as a commission member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. During McPhee’s tenure at MTSU, the University has experienced considerable growth in many areas. Student enrollment has increased significantly, making MTSU undergraduate enrollment the largest in the state. During the past several years, the University added twelve new degree programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. In 2002, for the first time in the history of the University, three Ph.D. programs were established: in Economics, English, and Human Performance. A Ph.D. in Public History was instituted shortly thereafter, and in July 2007, a new Ph.D. in Literacy Studies was approved. Recently, three additional Ph.D. programs were approved in Mathematics and Science Education, Molecular Biosciences, and Computational Science. From 2001 to 2009, the University increased extramural funding from $6 million to approximately $40 million. Since McPhee’s arrival, MTSU has been successful in raising admission standards, resulting in an increase in high-ability students. MTSU has been the institution of choice for midstate valedictorians and salutatorians in recent years and has enrolled a significant number of National Merit scholars and Achievement scholars. McPhee’s presidency has coincided with several major improvements in University facilities. A ten-year, $70 million renovation of all student residential housing is scheduled for completion by 2011, the University’s centennial year. In addition, the University acquired the 500-acre Guy James property to consolidate its highly regarded programs in the School of Agribusiness and Agriscience. This acquisition doubled the size of campus acreage from 500 to 1,000. Over $9 million was spent to renovate Andrew L. Todd Hall, which now houses the Department of Art and has state-of-the-art equipment for its students and faculty. The Paul W. Martin Sr. Honors Building was built with private funding. In January 2007, an addition to the Cason-Kennedy Nursing Building was opened and dedicated, bringing the facility to 28,000 square feet. In 2006, the University received $15 million in state support for the planning and infrastructure development for a proposed $140 million science building. In April 2007, a new $3 million track and soccer complex was opened and the University secured private gifts in support of a $6 million baseball stadium completed in 2008. A $19 million expansion of the Health, Wellness, and Recreation Center was also completed. Currently under construction is the $31.7 million College of Education building and the $70 million Student Union building with anticipated completion in 2011. During the past five years, the University has been engaged in capital projects, either proposed, under construction, or competed, totaling more that $400 million. President McPhee is married to Elizabeth McPhee, and they have two adult children, Seneca and Sidney-Anthony.

Athletic Administration Director of Athletics Chris Massaro The landscape of college athletics has changed drastically over the past decade and that renovation also has been demonstrated at Middle Tennessee, particularly during the five-plus years since Chris Massaro was named director of athletics on April 8, 2005. Proving to be a true visionary, Massaro has helped revolutionize the Blue Raiders’ athletic department while helping pave the way for even greater success in future years. Along with growing the Middle Tennessee athletic program, Massaro has been instrumental on numerous national boards and committees. He was appointed to the NCAA Football Issues Committee in March 2008 and is currently serving as a member of the prestigious NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee. During his reign, Massaro has overseen unprecedented success not only in the University’s athletic programs but also in regard to academic success, facility upgrades, and a proven record of hiring coaches who have thrived under his watch. Under Massaro’s leadership, the Blue Raiders have captured the Sun Belt’s All-Sports trophy three times in five years. Since his arrival, Massaro has enhanced the Blue Raiders’ broad-based, 17-sport program. Among the accomplishments included in the last five years: • The Athletic Department has captured 25 Sun Belt Conference championships and earned 15 coach of the year honors. • The Blue Raiders were 76th in the 2008-09 NACDA Cup, the highest finish in school history. • The athletic program has had a record 25 nationally televised events during his tenure. • Middle Tennessee’s football program has appeared in three bowl games in five years: the 2006 Motor City Bowl, the 2009 New Orleans Bowl, and the 2011 GoDaddy.com Bowl. The Blue Raiders won the New Orleans Bowl and finished with a 10-3 record and a No. 33 national ranking. • The women’s volleyball team reached the Sweet 16 for the first time in 2007 and has made five straight NCAA appearances. • The men’s golf team has made three straight NCAA Regional appearances, including a trip to the NCAA Championships in 2008 to finish 15th nationally. • The women’s basketball team has made the NCAA Tournament four times while also winning four Sun Belt Conference tournament titles. The program has also produced the nation’s leading scorer in each of the last three seasons. • The Middle Tennessee tennis doubles team of Marco Born and Andreas Siljestrom won the National Championship in 2007 – the first NCAA doubles title in Athletic Department history. • The Middle Tennessee track teams have combined for four conference titles. The 2007 men’s outdoor squad finished No. 21 in the nation, and the 2009 women’s indoor team ranked tied for 30th. • The Blue Raider baseball team captured the regular season and tournament championship in 2009 and advanced to the NCAAs. Massaro’s success at Middle Tennessee doesn’t stop with the athletic teams. There has been a tremendous track record for hiring quality coaches with head football coach Rick Stockstill, women’s head basketball coach Rick Insell, and men’s golf
inside Murphy Center – were installed in 2007. In a span of five years, Massaro’s hiring practices have been regarded as excellent. On Dec. 12, 2005, he made his highest profile hire when he selected Stockstill to take over the football program. Stockstill became just the second head coach in the I-A era and led the Blue Raiders to a league championship and a bowl appearance in his first season. Two days following his hiring, Massaro was pressed into action to find a replacement to lead the nationally recognized women’s basketball program. Massaro made his first hire when he brought on board legendary high school coach Rick Insell to take over the program. Both Insell and Stockstill won championships in their first seasons on the job. Massaro has also made a significant upgrade in the Blue Raider football schedule since his arrival. He brought Virginia out of the ACC to Floyd Stadium in 2007 and then inked Maryland to play in Murfreesboro in 2008. In 2009, Massaro had Mississippi State come to Floyd Stadium to make them the first SEC program to play in a Sun Belt stadium. Future schedules will see the Blue Raiders playing home games against Georgia Tech (2011) and Vanderbilt (2015, 2017). On his 100th day on the job, Massaro made one of his biggest announcements: a five-year contract with the University of Memphis to play football that started in 2007. The Tigers became the first in-state Division I-A (FBS) football team to play the Blue Raiders in Murfreesboro. In March 2008, Massaro made another big move when he announced a four-game series with neighboring rival Vanderbilt of the SEC. The series begins in 2015 and the teams will play twice in Murfreesboro and twice in Nashville. The Glenwood Springs, Colo., native joined the South Carolina staff under the Ohio University sport administration program in 1985. Massaro helped usher the Gamecocks into the SEC and learned under legendary athletic director Dr. Mike McGee. Massaro earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Northern Colorado in 1983 and his master’s degree in sport administration from Ohio University in 1986. At UNC, Massaro was a five-year football team member. Massaro is also heavily involved in community sports teams achieved passing marks of 925 or higher in 2008- service projects and organizations. He is a member of the Red Cross Board, the City Golf Commission and the Rutherford 09 with nine teams turning in a perfect mark of 1,000. County Sports Council Executive Committee, and he served on Massaro, who spent 20 years at the University of South the search committee for the Rutherford County Chamber of Carolina prior to his appointment at Middle Tennessee, also Commerce president. He is also a member of the Tennessee overhauled the annual Blue Raider Athletic Association’s annual giving program, which resulted in a record number of Sports Hall of Fame committee. members and financial giving in 2009-10, the fifth such year Massaro and his wife, Cindy, have four children: Hank, Lainey, Rachel, and Ben. record numbers have been realized. During his tenure, the BRAA has seen a 109 percent increase in annual giving. Facility upgrades also have been at the top of Massaro’s impressive list of accomplishments. He completed a $6 million capital campaign for the new baseball stadium and initiated a series of major renovations to existing athletic facilities during the previous four years, including a state-of-the-art soccer and track complex. Most recently, a state-of-the-art golf performance center was completed in December 2008. In the midst of numerous upgrades, Massaro also has initiated generous contributions that made it possible to install a new synthetic surface in Floyd Stadium for the 2006 season. Additionally, new videoboards – one for football and two coach Whit Turnbow – all Massaro hires – each earning Sun Belt Coach of the Year in their first seasons. In all, Massaro’s guidance has provided coaches with the resources to produce 25 conference titles, 24 NCAA postseason appearances, two Sun Belt Conference Athletes of the Year, and 15 Coach of the Year awards. Academic enhancement has also skyrocketed under Massaro’s leadership. Massaro, who was appointed to a panel on APR Improvement Plans for the 2007 NCAA Convention, inherited a football program with a national-low score of 812 and saw it increase to 990 (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2009. As a whole, the Athletic Department has improved from a 908 score when Massaro was hired to an impressive cumulative (four years) score of 968 in 2008-09. All 17 Middle Tennessee

Home of the
Blue Raiders Indoor Hitting Facility/Chuck Taylor Locker Room October 24, 1998, saw many dreams become reality with the
formal dedication of the newly built Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and Indoor Training Facility. The dream of this facility began long before the plans were put into motion. Coach Steve Peterson began raising the funds for the project nearly 10 years prior to groundbreaking, but the end product certainly made the wait worthwhile. The Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and Indoor Training Facility is, without a doubt, the finest facility of its kind in the region, if not the entire nation. The clubhouse features a lounge area with a large-screen television, sofa and chairs and a refreshment area. The lounge features hardwood floors with a marble “MT” inlay near the entrance to the building. The front hallway also features the Blue Raiders’ sizable trophy collection and photos of Blue Raiders in the major leagues. The spacious Chuck Taylor Locker Room offers oak lockers for the players along with exquisite hardwood flooring. The large shower facility is located just off the locker room area. The facility is also home to the offices of the Blue Raider coaching staff, a training room, and a laundry room. Perhaps the most impressive part of the facility is the second-to-none indoor training area located just off the locker room. This large space features a clay floor with three mounds and two hitting cages for winter and early spring workouts. It also contains a weight room with conditioning equipment for baseball team use. The Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and Indoor Training Facility opens directly onto the field area for easy access for practice and games. Soon after construction was completed, the structure was connected to the rest of the park with an ornate brick and iron fence and gate. The Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and Indoor Training Facility is just another testament to the hard work and dedication of the Blue Raider coaches, players and supporters. The work that these individuals carry onto the field also carries over into every aspect of the program. However, the Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and Indoor Training Facility does not mark the end of the line. In the words of Coach Peterson at the building’s dedication, “Our next project begins tomorrow.”
Reese Smith Jr. Field
USA
The campus of Middle Tennessee is home to what is considered one of the finest collegiate baseball fields in the nation: Reese Smith Jr. Field. The stadium was named in October of 1982 and was officially dedicated on April 12, 1983. The dedication was a well-earned salute to the efforts of the late Reese Smith and family. In 1979, Smith, a Nashville alumnus, and his two sons, who had played baseball for the Blue Raiders, threw their efforts into lighting the field and building the stadium that now exists. The wild success of the Blue Raiders move into the Sun Belt Conference showed the need for dramatic stadium expansion. A $5 million renovation project to Reese Smith Field was completed in September 2008 and provides new grandstands, press box, concession stand, and restrooms. The new stands have expanded seating and the press box has booths to accommodate radio and television. In addition, there are two luxury suites. In 1989, Smith Field underwent extensive renovation to increase seating capacity and make the park more fan-friendly. The old chain-link backstop was replaced by a three-foot-high brick wall with blue netting hanging from dugout to dugout. Two sets of aluminum bleachers were moved up to the wall and a section of chair-back theater seats were constructed directly behind home plate. The playing field is encircled by wind screens, and an eight-foot billboard fence covers the outfield wall. The bullpen areas are enclosed and fully turfed. Two turfed batting cages are located down the right field line. The field is equipped with a computerized underground sprinkler system, helping maintain the natural grass playing surface. With the addition of the Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and Indoor Training Facility in 1998, the face of Reese Smith Field changed again. The Blue Raiders have direct access to the field from the clubhouse. Reese Smith Jr Field is becoming the “Showplace of the South.” Numerous baseball organizations bring their teams and fans for events. In addition to Blue Raider home games, the field has hosted a variety of other baseball events, including OVC Tournaments, Tennessee Junior College Tournaments, TSSAA State High School Tournaments, and the USA Olympic Baseball Team. The Blue Raiders also played host to the 2010 Sun Belt Championships. The field is also home to the fall junior college classic, featuring many of the state’s junior college teams. Smith Field is evidence of the success and rich tradition of Blue Raider baseball as well as its overwhelming support in the middle Tennessee area.
Blue Raider
Winning Tradition Middle Tennessee has a storied tradition in the ranks of college baseball, dating back to when the sport first came to campus in 1912. In the beginning stalwarts such as Fred Sain, “Red” Floyd, “Putty” Overall, Jess Neely, Kola Sharp, “Red” Owens, Charlie Kerr, and Paul Turner played for the Teachers. In the mid-thirties, the winning tradition had begun with Bubber Murphy, Jay Bird Hamblen and Cromer Smotherman going on to play professional baseball. Blue Raider legend John Stanford took over the coaching responsibilities in 1974 and during his 11-year tenure guided Middle Tennessee to a 402-222 record. Stanford’s teams won six OVC regular-season championships, and four OVC Tournament championships and made four NCAA appearances. Stanford received OVC Coach of the Year honors five times. Today’s Raiders continue the tradition set forth by their predecessors. Fundraising and coaching go hand-in-hand for current skipper Steve Peterson, who spearheaded the fundraising efforts that resulted in the Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and the construction of the stadium. Today’s players add to the tradition as well. Past players such as Jayhawk Owens, Jason Maxwell, Clay Snellgrove, Mudcat Brewer, and Brett Carroll, just to name a few, have carved out places in the Raider history books. In fact, under Peterson, the Middle Tennessee baseball tradition has been raised to a new level. In his 23 years as head coach, Peterson’s teams have won seven regular-season OVC championships, seven OVC Tournament championships, three Sun Belt regular season titles, and two Sun Belt Tournament championships, and have advanced to NCAA play nine times. Since Middle Tennessee’s move to the Sun Belt Conference, excitement about baseball has increased. In 2000, the year prior to the Blue Raiders joining the league, the SBC sent Louisiana-Lafayette all the way to the College World Series after putting four teams into the NCAA Regionals. The conference was ranked the fifth best in the country during the 2000 season and remained one of the elite leagues in the country after Middle Tennessee joined the ranks in 2001. The Blue Raiders were one of four Sun Belt teams to compete in an NCAA regional at the conclusion of the season. One of those four, Florida International, advanced to the Super Regional before being eliminated one step from Omaha. The Blue Raiders also made history during the amazing 2001 season. Dewon Brazelton, who set the Middle Tennessee career and single-season strikeout records, became the first Blue Raider to be selected in the first round of the Major League Baseball amateur draft. He was chosen third overall by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. In 2009, Middle Tennessee won the regular season and conference tournament, advancing to the NCAA Louisville Regional. With the Blue Raiders now on the national stage, there is no limit to the potential of the program. Each team is now charged with continuing the legacy handed down by its predecessors.

Steve Peterson Head Coach 24th Season
There are many words to describe Steve Peterson’s role as Middle Tennessee’s highly successful baseball coach since 1988. Coach, fundraiser, teacher, recruiter, and architect are just a few, but if you are looking for one word to describe the Blue Raiders’ longtime skipper, try “winner.” Peterson begins his 24th season as the school’s all-time winningest coach, with 742 victories and a stockpile of conference championships and NCAA Tournament berths to his credit, demonstrating the consistency with which the driven captain has guided the club. Peterson’s drive for excellence has resulted in consistent success and has made Middle Tennessee a model program. The veteran coach has led Middle Tennessee to 11 regular-season conference championships, nine conference tournament titles, and nine NCAA Regional berths including two at-large selections in the past seven years. Peterson guided the Blue Raiders to seven consecutive championships – either regular-season or tournament – during one stretch, proving Middle Tennessee doesn’t rebuild, it reloads. Peterson, who enters the 2011 season with a sterling 742-572-3 mark, has produced 15 seasons with 30 or more wins including a school-record 44 victories in 2009. He also has four campaigns of at least 40 wins including 2009s 44-18 record. Consistent success during Peterson’s tenure is a testament to his ability to recruit and develop talent, and the proof was never more evident than in 2001 – the Blue Raiders’ first season in the Sun Belt Conference after years of success in the Ohio Valley.

Asked how the move into the Sun Belt, rated one of the nation’s top five baseball leagues at the time and consistently a top 10 conference, would change his recruiting philosophy, Peterson quickly responded “Not at all.” The 2001 Blue Raiders shared the Sun Belt championship with South Alabama after their first year in the high-profile league, and the chief contributors were many of the same players who led Middle Tennessee to the 2000 OVC championship. The move to a higher-rated conference certainly helped Middle Tennessee’s status. In their first five years in the Sun Belt, Peterson’s teams won two regular-season championships and a tournament championship and earned three NCAA Regional berths including two at-large selections for the first time in school history. The 2001 squad earned national acclaim for its pitching and hitting and the season concluded with pitcher Dewon Brazelton being selected as the No. 3 overall pick of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the Major League Baseball First-Year Amateur Player Draft. Brazelton was one of six players from the team to earn a spot on a professional baseball roster that season. A program cannot enjoy consistent success without quality players and Peterson, a threetime Coach of the Year, has not only made a habit of making sure Middle Tennessee has its share

Coaches season attendance mark of 30,319, ranking 46th nationally. Fifteen contests drew more than 1,000 patrons during the record-setting campaign. Not only has Peterson been a winner on the field but he’s also been a successful fundraiser during his career. Events such as the annual Chuck Taylor Golf Tournament, the Groundhog Day Luncheon, and the Grand Slam Fish Fry in the fall have become mainstays on calendars of Blue Raider baseball supporters across middle Tennessee and have raised thousands of dollars for the improvement of Blue Raider baseball. Peterson spearheaded the efforts to pay for the construction of the Stephen B. Smith Clubhouse and Indoor Training Facility, which opened its doors in 1998. One look inside the facility shows the time and effort spent toward this endeavor. It has become known as one of the finest collegiate clubhouses and training facilities in the country. Reese Smith Jr. Field has also benefited from Peterson’s fundraising abilities. He has helped transform the park into a fan-friendly area by leading efforts to expand the seating area, add an information center just inside the gate, and improve restroom and concession facilities. Peterson guided efforts during the summer of 2001 to enlarge the dugouts at Reese Smith Field. He also spearheaded a capital campaign to do significant remodeling of the concession stand, improve and expand restroom facilities, and added a modern press box to accommodate radio, television, and print media. While Peterson has spent 23 seasons leading the Middle Tennessee baseball program, his tenure with the program is much longer. He took two separate tours with the Blue Raiders as an assistant coach under John Stanford before becoming the team’s head coach. During 1976-78 and 1985-87, he helped the Blue Raiders win two OVC titles and four Southern Division crowns.
During the interim, Peterson served as head coach at Roane State Community College in Harriman, Tenn. During his tenure from 1979 to 1984, Peterson’s teams won a Tennessee state title in 1981, and he was twice named TJCAA Coach of the Year (1981, ’84). While at Roane State, Peterson put together a sparkling record of 153-96 for a .614 winning percentage. A native of Huntsville, Ala., Peterson stood out as a catcher under the legendary Rudy Abbott at Jacksonville State. He earned his bachelor’s from Jacksonville State in 1973 and later earned a master’s from Middle Tennessee in 1977. Peterson is married to the former Rita Albert and the couple has three children, Jill, Jenny, and John, and four grandchildren. Away from the diamond, Peterson enjoys fishing for smallmouth bass.

Jim McGuire
Associate Head Coach 19th Season
One of the most respected and knowledgeable coaches in the collegiate ranks, Jim McGuire begins his 19th season with the Blue Raider baseball program. After eight years as an assistant under Steve Peterson, McGuire was elevated following the 2000 season to associate head coach. McGuire serves as recruiting coordinator for the program and works with the infielders and hitters. He also takes an active role in coordinating evaluation visits with professional scouts as well as organizing baseball camps and the annual ’Boro Bash summer tournament.

Mike McLaury Pitching Coach Sixth Season
A familiar face returned to the Middle Tennessee program in 2006 to assume the responsibilities of pitching coach: former conference pitcher of the year and one-time assistant coach Mike McLaury. McLaury is in his second stint at his alma mater after serving as Middle Tennessee’s pitching coach in 2000. He also was a standout pitcher for the Blue Raiders during the 1992-93 seasons and became the first player in program history to earn Pitcher of the Year when he was so honored by the OVC in 1993. To date, McLaury and former Blue Raider Dewon Brazelton are the only pitchers in Middle Tennessee history to earn their league’s Pitcher of the Year honor. McLaury spent the previous four seasons at Western Kentucky, where he was pitching coach, assistant recruiting coordinator, field maintenance coordinator, assistant camp coordinator and tournament director. During his four years in Bowling Green, McLaury developed two Sun Belt Conference Pitchers of the Year (2002, 2003). His pitching staff paved the way for Western Kentucky to win the 2004 Sun Belt Tournament championship and earn a berth in the NCAA Regional in Oxford, Miss. Once there, the fourth-seeded Hilltoppers shocked host Ole Miss, 1-0, in their first game. WKU also reached the finals of the 2003 Sun Belt Championships. Before taking the position at Western Kentucky, McLaury was head coach and sports center manager at Lincoln Trail Community College in Robinson, Ill. McLaury guided Lincoln Trail to a regular-season championship for the first time in school history, earning Great Rivers Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors in the process. In 2000, McLaury worked as pitching coach at Middle Tennessee, where he was assistant recruiting coordinator, assistant camp director, and field maintenance coordinator. The Blue Raiders won the OVC Tournament title in 2000, advancing to the finals of the NCAA Regional at Clemson, S.C.,
where they eliminated Old Dominion and Illinois before falling to host Clemson in the Regional final. Before returning to Middle Tennessee, McLaury was pitching coach at Columbia State Community College from 1997 to 1999. Columbia State finished fifth in the NJCAA Division I World Series in 1997. The highly successful McLaury also was head baseball coach at Community High School in Unionville, Tenn., in 1996 and served as assistant baseball coach at Motlow State Community College in 1995. During his playing career at Middle Tennessee, McLaury was named OVC Pitcher of the Year in 1993 and was First-Team All-OVC. He compiled a 13-11 record with a 2.94 ERA and 153 strikeouts in 211.0 innings of work during his Blue Raider career. McLaury is married to the former Ashlie Jones. The couple has one child, Jack.
The McLaury family (L to R): Ashlie, Jack, and Mike.

Coordinator of Basketball Officials While there are 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, the Sun Belt is one of only 11 to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and Football Bowl Subdivision. The Sun Belt was formed in 1976 with six members competing in four men’s sports, and today comprises 12 institutions of higher learning while sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. The Sun Belt Conference enters its 35th season in 201011 with a proud history of athletic and academic success. The conference sponsors 10 women’s sports - basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball; and nine men’s sports – baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and individual accomplishments, and nearly every Sun Belt Conference school is currently graduating its student-athletes at a rate higher than its respective school’s student body. All Sun Belt schools are committed to excellence in the 21st century, and facility upgrades and expansions are taking place on every campus. During the 2008-09 academic year alone, the Sun Belt Conference accomplished numerous feats. In the fall of 2008 Middle Tennessee, FIU and Western Kentucky University all represented the league in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament – the first time the Sun Belt has sent three teams to the NCAA Tournament in volleyball and the second straight year the conference has sent multiple teams. Middle Tennessee advanced to the second round of the tournament, while WKU and FIU put forth strong and hard-fought efforts in the first round. The Sun Belt momentum continued in the sport of football as Florida Atlantic and Troy both earned bowl bids after impressive regular-season performances. It marked the
third time in the league’s eight-year football history that two teams have received postseason nods. FAU marked its place in the history books when the Owls defeated Central Michigan in the Motor City Bowl, becoming the first SBC team to win back-to-back bowl games. In men’s basketball, WKU received its second straight bid to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament after winning the Sun Belt Conference Championship. On the women’s side, Middle Tennessee captured national attention with the help of standout junior Alysha Clark. The Blue Raiders spent time in the coaches’ poll top 25. The squad earned a spot in the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament as Sun Belt Conference champions and finished the season with an impressive 28-6 record. Clark’s consistent performances earned her the title of the nation’s leading scorer as she averaged 27.5 points per game. The Blue Raiders will look to continue their success in the 2009-10 season, and with every student-athlete returning, they will be poised to make another strong showing. The 2009 Sun Belt Conference golf teams picked up right where they left off after an impressive 2008 season that saw two squads advance to the NCAA National Championship after top-10 finishes at their respective regional sites. In baseball, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA tournament each year since 1988. The 21-year streak of having two or more teams reach NCAA play is matched by only four other conferences (ACC, Big West, SEC, Pac-10). Both WKU and Middle Tennessee represented the league in the NCAA Baseball Championships in 2009. Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivsion coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 17-member Board of Directors. As

The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multiyear agreement with ESPN Inc. in January of 2009 that will result in unprecedented national coverage for the league. ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 29th straight season in 2009, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The Sun Belt Conference has also partnered with JumpTV Sports Inc. to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium website to provide fans with a broad range of real-time information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology serves as a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the conference’s championship events.

NCAA Regionals 1968 Mideast Regional Jackson, Tenn.
Before 1968, no team in Middle Tennessee history had reached the postseason. Under head coach Jimmy Earle, the Blue Raiders concluded one of the most successful seasons in school history in the 1968 Mideast Regional, going 3-2 with a pair of losses to Delta State. The Blue Raiders capped the season at 23-9 and fell just one game from reaching the College Division Championship. Larry Mangrum belted an 0-2 pitch over the right field wall to give the Blue Raiders a 3-2 victory over Illinois State in 11 innings in the first round. Hurler Greg Cunnyngham took a shutout into the ninth inning before a pair of unearned runs scored on an error. But the Chattanooga side-armer tossed two more scoreless innings for his eighth win of the season. John Price and Mangrum gave Middle Tennessee a 2-1 lead over Delta State in the winner’s bracket with solo home runs. But the Statesmen took advantage of a walk in the eighth inning from hurler Billy Walker before the next three batters reached safely. A controversial interference call involving Price at third base allowed the final runs to score in the eighth inning in a 5-2 DSU victory. The Blue Raiders then defeated Illinois State again, this time 6-0 in the loser’s bracket to reach the regional finals. Lefthander Chuck Machado struck out eight and allowed just five hits. Butch Wright scored on a single by Tommy Eiselstein, and Jackie Carver belted a solo home run to give Machado all of the run support he would need. Middle Tennessee defeated Delta State 6-5 in 10 innings, with Price and Charles Daniel homering in the second for an early lead. Singles from Brady Straub, Eiselstein, and Carver ignited a three-run rally in the fifth to force the deciding championship game. Cunnyngham got the win in relief, his second in three days. In the championship game, the Statesmen scored a pair of unearned runs in the third inning and held on for the 3-2 victory. DSU got a solo homer in the first and led 3-0 in the fourth when Jackie Carver reached on an error and scored on Price’s single. Eiselstein tripled in the eighth and scored on Carver’s single for Middle Tennessee’s final run. Machado started and took the loss, with Cunnyngham working in relief, his fourth appearance of the regional.
1981 South Regional Coral Gables, Fla.
Pitchers Mark Novak and Marty Smith combined to allow only two runs to Big Eight champ Missouri, and Doc Holliday provided the offensive punch, driving in three runs, as the Blue Raiders won their first NCAA Tournament game, 4-2. Holliday had a home run, single and sacrifice fly, and he scored two runs. The win set up a matchup with the top-ranked Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes. The ‘Canes shut out the Raiders 2-0 as fielding woes and cold bats put an end to Middle Tennessee’s upset bid. Middle Tennessee wasted a tremendous four-hit effort from pitcher Steve Duncan. Meeting yet another conference champion in Florida proved too much for Middle Tennessee, as the Blue Raiders dropped a 7-4 decision in 10 innings. Randy Goff went 3 for 5 and scored twice for the Blue Raiders.
1982 Midwest Regional Stillwater, Okla.
Middle Tennessee had to come from behind to
win its opener 3-2 over Oral Roberts. The hero of the day was Buster Keeton, whose two-out double in the bottom of the ninth scored the tying and winning runs. Larry Bruno and Marty Smith pitched well to position the Blue Raiders for Keeton’s heroics. The Blue Raiders then faced host Oklahoma State, the second-ranked team in the country. The home field advantage proved true for the Cowboys, as they handed Middle Tennessee a 5-3 loss. OSU scored its runs in the seventh and eighth innings, spoiling Jeff Perkins’ two-run homer for Middle Tennessee. With their backs against the wall, the Blue Raiders roared back with a 7-1 victory over Big 10 champ Minnesota. Jeff Davis scattered seven hits while the Raiders pounded out 17. Kenny Gerhart and Doug Birkofer had three hits each for the winners. One game away from the College World Series is as close as the Blue Raiders could get, falling to host Oklahoma State 7-3 in the regional finals.

For the second time in school history, the Blue Raiders made the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years. The problem was that Middle Tennessee drew fifth-ranked Texas A&M. Blue Raider lefty Dave Richardson didn’t find it a problem, as he held the vaunted Aggies to just one run on six hits, striking out seven, and the Raiders downed A&M, 3-1. Up 5-3 after six, the Raiders appeared to be in good shape against Missouri. But one run in the seventh and four in the eighth propelled the Tigers to a 10-6 victory. The Blue Raiders had to turn around and play host Mississippi State. The Bulldogs eliminated Middle Tennessee 12-4 despite home runs by Eddie Pye and Jayhawk Owens.
1990 West I Regional Palo Alto, Calif.
Riding a wave of optimism with the best record in school history, the Blue Raiders took an early 2-0 lead before San Diego State blew past them en route to an 18-6 victory. The loss was the Raiders’ worst in NCAA play. The next day Middle Tennessee had to face host Stanford. The Blue Raiders could not get things to click and the Cardinal took a 6-1 victory.
1991 West I Regional Los Angeles, Calif.
For the third time in history, the Blue Raiders
made the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years. The Blue Raiders went to California to prove the year before was not a fluke. Facing host Southern Cal, the Raiders fell behind early 6-1, while starter Chris Crabtree struggled. As he settled down the Raiders settled in, scoring three runs over the next two innings despite ending each inning with double plays. The Blue Raiders battled, but USC held on for a 7-5 victory. Hawaii was the next opponent and Middle Tennessee battled early. Down 4-3 after five innings, the Blue Raiders could not hold the Rainbow bats down, and Hawaii scored three in the sixth for the winning score of 7-3.
1995 West Regional Fresno, Calif.
1976 South Regional Tallahassee, Fla.
Middle Tennessee met SEC Champion Auburn in its first-ever trip to an NCAA regional and were tied 1-1 when a Blue Raider error opened the floodgates to a seven-run inning for the Tigers. The beneficiary of the explosion was future big-leaguer Joe Beckwith, as he and the Tigers took a 10-5 victory. The Blue Raiders were led by Denton Peters’ two hits. Peters came up big in Middle Tennessee’s second contest but had little help. He hit two home runs and drove in four as the Blue Raiders fell 8-5 to Jacksonville University.
1988 South Regional Starkville, Miss.
The 1982 Blue Raiders ended just one game away from a trip to the College World Series after falling to No. 2 ranked Oklahoma State in the finals.
Middle Tennessee swept Jackson State 2-0 in the NCAA Play-In series in Murfreesboro to earn the right to its third trip to California. Facing the top-seeded and eventual national runner-up Trojans of Southern Cal proved too much for the Blue Raiders. USC’s big bats exploded for 10 runs, powered with home runs by Geoff Jenkins and
1987 South Regional Huntsville, Ala.
Southwest Conference Champion Arkansas was the opening opponent for Middle Tennessee, but the game was delayed until 10:40 p.m. by rain. Arkansas jumped out to an early lead and never relinquished it, winning by a final margin of 10-7. The Arkansas game finished at 1:41 a.m. and the Auburn game the next day began at noon. The weary Raiders were tied at three with the Tigers through eight innings before a two-run rally in the ninth gave Auburn the 5-3 win. Tony Hayes had three hits to pace the Middle Tennessee attack.

NCAA Regionals Jacque Jones, who also added a triple. The Raiders managed 10 singles and were led by Craig Reavis (2-5, two runs scored) and Chris Goggin (2-4, two RBIs). Richie Conway took the mound and pitched 7.2 innings to claim the victory over the Bears of Southwest Missouri State 5-3. Middle Tennessee used timely hitting and exploited one SMS error to score three unearned runs, while George Oleksik came in to shut the door late, earning the save. Heroes offensively included Goggin (2-4, one run, RBI) and Jamie Walker, who had a pinch-hit RBI single to cap a three-run fourth inning. The Blue Raiders jumped out to a 16-9 lead with an eight-run sixth inning only to watch Pepperdine claw their way back and eventually steal an 18-17 victory in 12 innings. The Raiders had three players with three hits, led by Jordan Beddies (3-6, two runs, five RBIs, one HR). Goggin continued his fine play in the regional, going 3 for 6 with two runs scored and three RBIs, powered by a double and a triple.
2000 Clemson Regional Clemson, S.C.
Middle Tennessee swept through the OVC Tournament and earned the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as the fourth seed at the Clemson Regional. The Blue Raiders opened with a game against the host Tigers and sent a former Tiger to the mound in Jeff Parsons. Parsons pitched well, but the Tigers chipped away, scoring single runs in the fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth innings to net a 4-0 shutout sending the Blue Raiders into the loser’s bracket early. Middle Tennessee would not go quietly, however. Dewon Brazelton got the start for the Blue Raiders against second-seeded Old Dominion, and the Blue Raiders took an early 4-1 lead. The Monarchs knotted the score with two runs in the top of the eighth, but Bryan Peck returned fire with a dramatic solo homer that retook the lead for Middle Tennessee in the bottom half of the inning. Things looked in control for the Blue Raiders as they held the lead with two outs in the top of the ninth, but an error sent the tying run across the plate and seemed to take the wind out of the Blue Raider sails. In the bottom of the ninth with a runner at second, Josh Renick, the same man to commit the error in the top of the inning, drove in the winning run and continued the Blue Raiders’ season with a 6-5 win. The win set up a game against thirdseeded Illinois Josh Renick led off the Clemson for the right Regional for the Blue Raiders in to play in the 2000, beginning the current stretch regional final of five regionals in nine years.
against Clemson. Kris Lammers got the starting nod and performed admirably, allowing only two earned runs through 7.1 innings. However, the Blue Raiders struggled offensively and looked as if they would be shut out to end their run. Then the tide turned. The Blue Raiders erupted for four runs in the top of the eighth inning with two outs, as Josh Pride and Justin Links hit doubles to drive in the decisive runs in the 4-3 victory and send the Blue Raiders to their first regional final since 1982. The Cinderella story ended for the Blue Raiders against Clemson. The Blue Raiders became the only No. 4 seed to advance to a regional final in the tournament, but their bubble was burst by an offensive juggernaut that posted a 21-3 win over Middle Tennessee.
2001 Knoxville Regional Knoxville, Tenn.
The Blue Raiders tied for the conference championship in their first season in the Sun Belt and were the third seed in the Knoxville Regional, facing host and second-seeded Tennessee in the opening game for both squads. The outcome was determined by a squeeze bunt off the bat of UT All-American Chris Burke, as No. 18 Tennessee turned back No. 24 Middle Tennessee 2-1 in front of 4,139, the fifth-largest crowd ever to watch a game at Nelson Stadium. Burke accounted for both of Tennessee’s runs in a game decided by inches. Burke led the game off with a triple that just nicked the left field foul line. He later scored on Stevie Daniel’s ground out to second. Middle Tennessee All-American Dewon Brazelton was the main attraction and didn’t disappoint, going the distance for the 11th time of the season. He pitched a four-hitter, allowed just one earned run and struck out six, but it wasn’t enough as UT’s Wyatt Allen had one of the best games of his collegiate career. Allen tossed a complete-game, two-hitter, struck out a career-high 14 and walked just two. He no-hit the Blue Raiders into the seventh inning. As if Allen weren’t tough enough, Middle Tennessee went against him without its top two offensive players for the final three innings. Allen plunked Josh Renick in the elbow in the sixth, forcing him out of action, and nailed Justin Sims one batter later, knocking him from the game. Reserve infielder Phillip Campbell replaced Renick and broke up Allen’s no-hitter with a one-out single in the seventh that plated Chuck Akers and evened the score 1-1. Brandon Johnson’s leadoff single in the eighth was the only other hit for the Blue Raiders. The Blue Raiders fell 6-3 to Wake Forest in the elimination contest the following day, playing with-

out Renick and Sims. On top of that, junior starter Jason Moates was knocked out of Saturday’s game in the fifth inning when he took a line drive off the toe of his right foot. One night after being no-hit into the seventh inning by Tennessee’s Allen, WFU’s Corey Sullivan held the Blue Raiders hitless until Marshall Nisbett cranked a two-out solo home run in the sixth. Nisbett had two of the team’s three hits, a home run and a double, drove in two runs and scored two. The Blue Raiders ended their season with a sterling 41-17 mark, the second-most wins in a single season.
2003 Starkville Regional Starkville, Miss.
Middle Tennessee struggled through ups and downs throughout the season but got hot at the right time, sweeping through four games to win the Sun Belt Tournament and earning the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Blue Raiders faced host and top-seeded Mississippi State in the opening round, and the crowd of 10,284 at Dudy Noble Field seemed to rattle the young squad early on. The Bulldogs jumped out quickly with four runs in the first off Blue Raider starter Steve Kline and put the game away with five more runs in the fifth en route to a 10-4 victory. Freshman Shay Horseman was the star of the game in the loss, coming on to strike out seven in 3.1 innings of relief. On Saturday, Middle Tennessee faced Missouri in the loser’s bracket. The last time the teams had met was during the 1988 NCAA South Regional, also in Starkville. Starting pitching was again a problem for the Blue Raiders, and the Tigers scored nine runs in the first three innings and cruised to a 13-7 victory. But sophomore Brett Carroll put on a show at the plate in the defeat, belting his 18th and 19th home runs of the season, both towering blasts deep into the left field lounge. Carroll was 3 for 4 with four RBIs in the outing. 2004 Athens Regional Athens, Ga.
The Blue Raiders made their fourth regional ap-
pearance in five years with an at-large selection, but the selection committee did Middle Tennessee no favors by grouping the squad with SEC champion and 10th-ranked Georgia as well as Clemson and Birmingham Southern. Chris Mobley drew the starting nod for the Blue Raiders in the opener against the host Bulldogs. The junior made it through the first before UGA erupted for nine runs in the second including a three-run blast from Marshall Szabo off reliever Danny Borne. Georgia added five more runs before the Blue Raiders got on the board in the seventh on a Jeff Beachum RBI single. Brett Carroll added a solo homer in the ninth, his 14th of the season, in the 16-2 loss. Middle Tennessee came back the next day with senior John Williams on the hill. The Murfreesboro native pitched admirably but was outdueled by Birmingham Southern’s David Horne, who tossed a five-hit shutout. The Blue Raiders stranded six base runners and grounded out 10 times in dropping a 5-0 decision.

NCAA REgionals 2009 Louisville Regional Louisville, Ky.
After finishing eighth in the Sun Belt the previous
season, Middle Tennessee had a memorable and historic season, winning the regular season and tournament championship in addition to rewriting the record books. The Blue Raiders played five games in the conference tournament, defeating ULM 3-1 in the championship game to receive the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Seniors Rawley Bishop and Nathan Hines, junior Kenneth Roberts and sophomore Bryce Brentz were all named to the AllTournament team, and Roberts received the Most Outstanding Player award after notching two wins in the tournament. The Blue Raiders, a two seed in the Louisville Regional, won their first game in the NCAA Tournament in dramatic fashion, defeating in-state rival Vanderbilt 5-4. Middle Tennessee led throughout the game athough the Commodores closed the gap to one in the eighth inning. Junior Coty Woods entered the game in the eighth with a runner on base and picked up his 15th save of the season after allowing one run on two hits in two innings of work. Junior Kenneth Roberts earned the win, improving to 11-1, working seven innings and allowing three runs on six hits. Junior Stuart Meinhart had one of two big hits for the Blue Raiders as he hit the second grand slam of his career to put them up 4-0 in the first inning. Meinhart ended the game 1 for 3 with four RBI and scored a run. Senior Taylor Dennis had the other big hit for the team as he hit a solo shot down the left field line to give the Blue Raiders the extra run they needed. Middle Tennessee lost a 3-2 heartbreaker to Louisville, falling into the loser’s bracket of the Louisville Regional. The Blue Raiders led throughout the game but Louisville scored two key runs, one in the eighth to tie and then the eventual winning run in the ninth. In the ninth, with one out and a runner at third, junior Drew Robertson had a throwing error trying to pick off the runner, who scored and gave Louisville the winning run. Sophomore Bryce Brentz received the start on the mound and allowed two runs on six hits in 7.2 innings of work, striking out six batters. Junior Coty Woods (4-3) took the loss after allowing one run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning of work. Junior Ben Darlington and sophomore Tyler Burnett each had two hits on the day to guide the Blue Raiders at the plate.

The Chris Whitehead “Big Stick” Award, named for one of the finest all-around players ever to play for the Blue Raiders, was initiated in 1992 and is presented annually to the Middle Tennessee player who, in the opinion of the coaching staff, is the most productive offensive player on the squad. Whitehead was a superlative third baseman for the Blue Raiders from 1986 to 1988 and signed a professional contract with the Boston Red Sox organization at the conclusion of his Middle Tennessee career. He still ranks in the top 10 in eight career categories including hits, runs, triples, home runs, total bases, slugging percentage, and walks. He batted a sparkling .338 over his three-year career in the Blue

Records and Awards Rail Bird Appreciation Award
Bust Your Butt Award
The Rail Bird Appreciation Award began in 1983 when a goup of baseball supporters know as the “Rail Birds” began giving a Most Valuable Player Award at an appreciation dinner they held for the Middle Tennessee Baseball team at the end of each season. The “Rail Birds” were composed of university professors, staff and Murfreesboro locals who were die-hard supporters of the baseball program. Originally, the “Rail Birds” would sit behind the backstop of the baseball field and heckle the visiting team as well as cheer for their Blue Raiders. This group also started the Groundhog Day Luncheon, which is still held annually by the baseball program, as a way to meet and talk about the upcoming season. The Rail Bird Appreciation Award is voted on by the Rail Birds with input from the head coach with the receipent being who they feel was the MVP that season.
The Bust Your Butt Award was started in 1984 by head coach John Stanford. It is an award that the coaches have no involvment in and is voted on by the players, managers and athletic trainers. The players, managers and athletic trainers select who, within the organization, they feel has worked the hardest on and off the field throughout the season and turn their vote in by secret ballot to the head coach. It is one of the top awards within the organization as it is not based primarily on stats but on the work one puts in each and every day. Receipents have included managers, role players as well as top student-athetes.
