THE GARY AND ALEA CULPEPPER FAMILY CLUBHOUSE
The Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field not only features state-of-the-art amenities for fans, but for the Bulldogs themselves. Major League amentites include authentic home and visitor dugouts with underground passages to full-service clubhouses. The Zags’ clubhouse is highlighted by a player lounge, both coaches’ and players’ locker rooms, a training room, a mud room, showers and a laundry facility. The clubhouse not only serves as a game-day amenity, but also provides meeting space for the Bulldogs, as the lounge is highlighted by several leather couches, a wall-mounted flat-screen television and a pair of computers set aside for academic use by the Zags.
INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY
The Gonzaga University baseball program began use of its indoor practice facility, The Warehouse, in 2002. The facility contains a weight room, exercise area, three state-of-the-art pitching machines, four regulation hitting cages and two full length pitching lanes. The batting cages can also be moved back to allow infielders to take ground balls on the artificial surface. Since the opening, Gonzaga has emerged as one of the premiere baseball programs on the West Coast, posting a number of wins over high profile programs such as Arizona State University, University of Notre Dame, University of Missouri, University of Oklahoma, University of San Diego and the two-time National Champion Oregon State University. The use of the facility has also propelled Gonzaga to West Coast Conference regular-season and Championship Series titles in 2009 along with a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Since the Zags began use of the The Warehouse, they have posted three consecutive 30-win seasons (2007-09), appeared in two of the past three WCC Championship Series and had 23 players sign professional contracts.

Leon Cadore will always be a part of Major League Baseball history as the former Gonzaga Bulldog pitched the longest game (Innings) in Major League history. The date was May 1, 1920, and the 29-year-old right-hander faced Joe Oeschger of the Boston Braves at Braves Field. Cadore’s team, the Brooklyn Dodgers, scored in the fourth inning and the Braves answered with a run in the fifth and that would be were the scoring would end. Cadore and Oeschger batted to a 1-1 tie when the game was called following the 26th inning due to darkness. Both pitchers threw complete games with Cadore allowing 15 hits, five walks and seven strikeouts. The curve ball specialist would go on to win a career-high 15 games that season for the Dodgers, including his only World Series start that season against the Cleveland Indians.

2009 WCC CHAMPIONS
Chris Sturdivant’s (above left) walk-off ninth-inning RBI-double gave Gonzaga University a 5-4 win over Loyola Marymount University May 16 and also clinched the Bulldogs’ inaugural West Coast Conference regular-season title. The win also allowed the Zags to host WCC Championship Series the following weekend. With the game tied a 4-4 after LMU had rallied with a run in the eighth inning, the Gonzaga ninth started with Drew Heid reaching on a pop fly single to centerfield. Tyson Van Winkle then grounded a ball deep in the hole to the shortstop who threw to second just in time to get Heid. With Van Winkle at first, Ryan Wiegand earned a four-pitch walk to put runners on first and second for Sturdivant, who had entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. Sturdivant jumped on a 3-1 fastball, lining a double into the gap to allow Van Winkle to come around from second for the game-winner. Five Zags finished the game with two hits as Wiegand led the way with two hits and two RBI. Gonzaga starter Steven Ames allowed just three earned runs in seven innings of work before Cody Martin pitched two scoreless innings of relief and benefitted from the Zags ninth-inning rally to pick up the win.
WCC CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
GAME 1
Ryan Wiegand’s (above left) bases loaded RBI infield single in the ninth inning brought home Ernesto Ortiz to cap the Zags comeback and post a 4-3 victory over Loyola Marymount University in game one of the West Coast Conference Championship Series May 22. The ninth-inning GU comeback started with pinch-hitter Grant Kveder reaching on an LMU error. Ortiz lined a 1-2 pitch to left field to put two runners on with nobody out. Even Wells put down a sacrifice bunt to third, moving both runners up a base and Heid was then intentionally walked to load the bases for Van Winkle. Van Winkle worked a full count before taking ball four to score Kveder and tie the game at 2-2. Wiegand then came to the plate and chopped a 1-1 pitch high over the mound to allow Ortiz to scamper home for the game-winner.
GAME 2
Gonzaga University punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament and clinched its inaugural West Coast Conference title with a 14-3 WCC Championship Series clinching victory over Loyola Marymount University in front of a WCC Championship Series record crowd of 1,376 May 23. Ryan Wiegand (right) had a record-breaking performance for the Bulldogs, launching a WCC Championship Series record three home runs and driving in eight runs to tie the record for most RBI in a WCC Championship Series game. His nine total RBI in the twogame series also set a record for RBI in a WCC Championship Series. Wiegand finished the game 3-for-5 with four runs scored including his third grand slam of the season, tieing the school-record for grand slams in a season. Wiegand’s first home run of the day was an opposite field three-run shot over the left field fence in the first inning. His second homer of the game was a solo shot which was a no-doubter, sailing high over the scoreboard and over the street beyond the right field fence in the seventh inning. He put his name into the WCC record books with an eighth-inning grand slam that hit half way up the net beyond the right field wall to push the lead to 13-0. Eight of the nine Bulldog starters recorded hits as Castellitto finished with four hits and six Zags recorded two or more hits. Amidst Wiegand’s offensive show was the dominating performance turned in by Bulldogs starting pitcher Steven Ames (left) who fired his team-leading third complete game of the season. Ames allowed just four hits through eight scoreless innings before surrendering three runs in the ninth, only one of which was earned before he struck out LMU’s Ryan Wheeler to end the game and clinch the Zags automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

2009 NCAA TOURNAMENT
No. 19 Gonzaga University pounded out 18 hits to post a 19-10 opening game win over No. 29 Georgia Southern University in the first game of the Fullerton Regional in the NCAA Tournament May 29. The 19 runs scored was a season-high for the Zags and the most ever scored by a Gonzaga squad in an NCAA Tournament game, a span of 22 games. The Bulldogs put up runs in all but one inning on the Eagles, scoring runs in the final seven innings to post its first NCAA Tournament victory since 1980. Tyson Van Winkle and Mark Castellitto paced the GU offense with three hits and three RBI apiece. Ryan Wiegand, Anthony Synegal and Castellitto each hit home runs as every starter recorded a hit and scored a run. Reliever Reedy Berg (above) picked up the game one win after scattering six hits and striking out six in six innings to advance the Zags to the winner’s bracket matchup against No. 4 Cal State Fullerton.
No. 19 Gonzaga University dropped 7-4 decision to No. 2 national seed Cal State Fullerton in the winner’s bracket matchup of the NCAA Tournament Fullerton Regional May 30. The Bulldogs were unable to get the big hit throughout the game, stranding eight runners as CSF overcame an early 2-0 deficit with three runs in the second and single runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to pick up the victory. Anthony Synegal (above) and Tyson Van Winkle provided the pop for the Zags as Synegal launched his eighth homer of the season and Van Winkle picked up two RBI on his first inning double. Drew Heid paced the Bulldogs with a three-hit effort. The Bulldogs were the first to strike, taking a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a two-run double by Van Winkle. Evan Wells and Heid led off the game with back-to-back singles before Van Winkle pulled a pitch down the left field line for his school record-setting 26th double of the season, breaking Jim Carnell’s previous top mark of 25 set in 1981.
No. 19 Gonzaga University saw its record-setting season come to an end May 30, dropping a 9-7 decision to the University of Utah to be eliminated from the Fullerton Regional of the 2009 NCAA Tournament. Evan Wells (above) led the Bulldogs with a 3-for-4 performance, recording a single, double and triple while Tyson Van Winkle recorded two hits and two RBI. The Utes posted runs in five consecutive innings to overcome a 3-2 second inning deficit as Utah starting pitcher Bryn Card kept the powerful Bulldog offense off balance throughout the afternoon. “This was a special group of players that took this program to another level this season,” said head coach Mark Machtolf. “They pushed this program over the top both on and off the field. They took us to the NCAA Regional for the first time since 1981 and put together one of the best seasons ever at Gonzaga.” Wells, the Zags leadoff hitter, was named to the Fullerton All-Regional team after hitting .500 (6-for-12) with four runs scored, four RBI, one double and two triples in the Bulldogs three NCAA Tournament games.

MARK MACHTOLF Head Coach 7th Season - 20th Overall Season at Gonzaga Stanford University, 1987
Mark Machtolf is entering his seventh year at the helm of the Gonzaga University baseball program. Prior to being named head coach on Aug. 7, 2003, the Spokane native served 13 years as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs. Since being named head coach, Machtolf has posted a 180-143 record for a .557winning percentage, placing him second all-time in Gonzaga history. During his 19-year tenure with the Bulldogs, Machtolf has seen the program produce 78 All-West Coast Conference selections, including two WCC Players of the Year and two of the past three WCC Pitchers of the Year. He has also been part of coaching five All-America selections, six academic All-America honorees as well as seven Freshman All-America selections. Machtolf has been a part of 29 former Zags who were drafted by Major League Baseball, including nine in the top 10 rounds and 15 in the top 20, en route to 40 Bulldogs signing professional contracts. He has coached five former Bulldogs with MLB experience, including threetime All-Star and 2004 NL Rookie of the Year Jason Bay. Four formers Zags were on big league rosters at one point in 2009, led by Bay with the Boston Red Sox and now with the New York Mets, Mike Redmond with the Minnesota Twins and a pair of former Bulldogs who made their MLB debuts in pitcher Clayton Mortensen now with the Oakland Athletics and catcher Kevin Richardson with the Texas Rangers. Last season Machtolf led the Bulldogs to perhaps the best season in program history, earning the school’s eighth trip to the NCAA Tournament after capturing the program’s inaugural West Coast Conference regular and Championships Series titles which earned Machtolf his first career WCC Coach of the Year honor. The Bulldogs had five players earn All-WCC accolades led by senior starting pitcher Matt Fields who was awarded WCC Pitcher of the Year and later garnered Collegiate Baseball All-American third team honors. The Zags posted a 19-10 win over Georgia Southern University at the NCAA Regional before falling in a pair of well played games to No. 2 national seed and regional host Cal State Fullerton and the University of Utah. Gonzaga went on to earn a No. 22 national ranking in Baseball America’s final season poll after posting the school’s third consecutive 30-win season for the first time since 1980-82. The 36 wins last year were the Machtolf’s Milestone Wins most by a Bulldog team since the 1990 season. Another program-best followed the 1 - vs. Oklahoma (15-5) 2/13/04 season as a record five Zags were selected in the Major League Baseball Amateur 50 - vs. San Diego (12-4) 5/6/05 100 - at Portland (7-4) 4/5/07 Draft in June.

This past season also saw a couple individual NCAA Tournament - vs. Georgia Southern (19-10) 5/29/09 offensive records fall with Machtolf in charge of the GU offense as Ryan Wiegand became Gonzaga’s all-time leader in hits, doubles and RBI and Van Winkle set

the school-record with 27 doubles. The Bulldogs pitching staff also went on to produce the lowest team ERA in the WCC in addition to setting the school record for strikeouts in a season. The honors continued to come in July with pitcher Cody Martin receiving an invite to the Team USA National Team trials. The 2008 season saw Machtolf lead a Gonzaga squad to its second consecutive 30-win season, the first back-to-back 30-win seasons since 1980-81. Four Bulldogs were placed on the All-WCC teams including Martin who set the school record for saves in a season with nine. Martin was later named to two Freshmen All-America teams, becoming the third player to earn All-America accolades during the Machtolf head coaching era. In 2007, Machtolf guided the Bulldogs to a second-place finish in the WCC and, as a result, a spot in the WCC Championship series against regular-season champion University of San Diego. Gonzaga’s second-place finish was then its highest in WCC history as the Zags had not finished higher than fifth when the league played a non-divisional format. In 2007, the Bulldogs posted a 33-25 record, marking the most victories since the 1990 campaign. As a result of their 15-6 WCC record, the Zags’ landed eight All-WCC selections, including WCC Pitcher of the Year and third team All-American Mortensen. The eight conference accolades tied a program high. In his first season as head coach, Machtolf guided Gonzaga to a 16-11 record in WCC play and a 24-27 overall record for the 2004 season. He also placed three players on the All-WCC first team including catcher Kiel Thibault, who was named the WCC Player of the Year. Under Machtolf’s guidance the Bulldogs have become one of the top power-hitting teams in the country. In 2002, the Bulldogs set a school and WCC record for home runs with 92, finishing seventh in the nation in home-runs-per-game. Gonzaga slugger Nate Gold led the nation with 33 home runs en route to earning first-team All-America honors. In 1999, Gonzaga hitters smashed several offensive school records including home runs (82), runs scored (455), runs batted in (425) and hits per game (10.75). In the summer of 2006, Machtolf was named one of the assistant coaches for the USA Baseball Team. Under Machtolf’s guidance, the National Team posted a 28-2-1 record, including going a perfect 8-0 at the Federation Internationale du Sport Universitaire (FISU) World Championships in Havanna, Cuba. The .919 win percentage for the season was the best ever posted by a USA Baseball collegiate team and the tournament win was the inaugural title for a USA Baseball National Team in Cuba. Machtolf was also instrumental in the construction of Gonzaga’s new state-of-the-art facility, Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field which opened in 2007. Machtolf assisted with the guidance of the project that helped create the new home of Bulldog baseball. Machtolf entered the coaching ranks as the hitting coach at Gonzaga for the 1987-88 season and worked with the Zags until the completion of the 1990 campaign. Following one season as an assistant coach at Whitworth College, Machtolf

DANNY EVANS
Associate Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator 7th Season Gonzaga University, 2003 Danny Evans enters his seventh season as a member of the Gonzaga University coaching staff and his first since being promoted to associate head coach in October, 2009. Evans serves as the Bulldogs recruiting coordinator, third base coach and infield coach. During Evans’ tenure the Zags have averaged 30 wins each season, including posting 30-win seasons in each of the past three years. The 2009 season capped the three consecutive 30-win season streak, finishing the year with 36 wins which brought the Bulldogs its inaugural West Coast Conference regular-season and WCC Championship Series titles along with the program’s eighth trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Zags went on to finish the season ranked No. 22 in the Baseball America final season rankings. With Evans leading Gonzaga’s charge on the recruiting trail, the Zags have put together a couple of very impressive recruiting classes. This season’s group of newcomers was featured in Baseball America as one of nation’s top recruiting classes. The Bulldogs were again in the national spotlight this past recruiting season as they signed two of the nation’s Top 100 high school prospects in addition to signing the top pitching prospect out of Colorado. Under Evans’ assistance, 13 Bulldogs have been drafted by Major League Baseball including a program-best five players taken in the 2009 MLB draft, 33 players have earned All-WCC honors, three players have received All-America honors and two players earned Freshmen All-America accolades. Evans has overseen the development of a number of former Bulldogs who are currently in the professional ranks led by Darin Holcomb and Scott Campbell, both of which were top 15 round draft picks. Holcomb was named the 2008 MVP of the Low-A South Atlantic League and Campbell participated in the Major League Baseball’s Futures game after being one of the top hitters in the Double-A Eastern League. The Bulldogs have routinely finished among the nation’s elite in fielding over the past six seasons. The 2007 and 2009 clubs each posted .971 fielding percentages, placing them near the top spots in both the WCC and in the country. Last season saw the Zags commit the second fewest errors in the WCC which followed a 2008 campaign that had Gonzaga post the second highest fielding percentage in the WCC at .967. In addition to finishing 30th in the nation in defense in the 2007 season, that year also had the Zags field at a .980 clip during league play to rank first in the WCC. In 2006, Gonzaga posted a .976 fielding percentage, setting a program best along with a new WCC best and placing the Bulldogs seventh in the nation in defense. In 2005, the Bulldogs fielded at a .972 clip to rank second in the league and 13th in the nation. A 2003 graduate of Gonzaga, Evans was a 4-year letterwinner for the Bulldogs appearing in 162 games over his career. Evans alternated between shortstop and third base during his career and capped his senior season with a second team All-West Coast Conference honor. In August of 2007, the native of Glendale, Ariz., married the former Kellie Buller, also a Gonzaga graduate.

STEVE BENNETT Assistant Coach/Pitching Coach 6th Season Gonzaga University, 2000
Steve Bennett begins his sixth year as a member of the Gonzaga University coaching staff. Bennett was promoted to full-time pitching coach in the summer of 2008. Under his guidance as the Bulldog pitching coach the past three seasons, Bennett has seen seven Gonzaga pitchers become All-West Coast Conference selections, three named All-Americans, three drafted by Major League Baseball and two named WCC Pitcher of the Year. Bennett saw the pitching staff make big strides in 2009, posting the lowest ERA (4.44) in the WCC along with setting a school record for strikeouts (422). The GU staff was led by two of the nation’s elite hurlers in Matt Fields and Steven Ames. Fields cruised through the 2009 season, dominating hitters every Friday night en route to being named the Zags second WCC Pitcher of the Year in the last three seasons. He later earned All-America third team honors by Collegiate Baseball before being drafted in the 22nd round by the Toronto Blue Jays. Ames matched Fields with eight wins and won some big games during the Zags WCC title run, earning the WCC Championship Series Most Outstanding Pitcher Award in Gonzaga’s WCC Championships Series win that sent GU back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1981. Ames was then taken in the 17th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last season also saw sophomore Cody Martin set the school record for all-time saves and he later received an invitation to pitch at the Team USA National Team Trials this past June. Under Bennett’s guidance in 2008, Fields and Martin received All-WCC honorable mention honors. Martin also set a school record with nine saves and was named second team Freshman All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America and also earned third team All-Ping!

SEASON PREVIEW Coming off a record setting season that saw the Gonzaga University baseball program reach new heights, claiming the program’s inaugural West Coast Conference regular season and WCC Championships Series titles along with making their first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1981, this year’s group of Bulldogs has returned looking for more in 2010. This current group of Zags contains just three players that started all 54 games but those players return after playing pivotal roles in last year’s conference championship run. The Bulldogs pitching staff also returns a couple of arms that contributed a large amount of innings down the post-season stretch and will look to build on last season’s success. “I am very excited to see this group get out and begin defense of our conference crown,” stated seventh year head coach and last year’s WCC Coach of the Year Mark Machtolf. “We lost a lot off last year’s team but the group that returns for us this season is coming back knowing what it takes to win the conference and get back to the NCAA Tournament.” The three players returning to the Zags lineup this season are senior centerfielder Drew Heid, senior leftfielder Mark Castellitto and sophomore shortstop Ernesto Ortiz. Gonzaga welcomes a 14-member incoming class, made up of eight high school prospects and six transfers. “This will be a very different group from last year’s team that had a lot of veterans on it,” stated Machtolf. “We have quite a few new guys this year, but each is very talented, and we will look to them to mature quickly.” In the outfield, Heid leads the way after putting together one of the most impressive two-year stints in Gonzaga history, earning All-WCC first team accolades as sophomore and then posting a .355 batting average, leading the WCC in triples and finishing second in the conference with 83 hits last season. Heid later earned MVP honors of the highly-renowned Alaska Summer League and enters the 2010 season as a pre-season All-WCC selection. “Drew has been one of the most productive players we have had come through Gonzaga,” commented Machtolf, entering his 20th overall season in the Gonzaga program. “He is one of special players that is always making plays to help the ball club either with his defense or at the plate. He had another incredible summer in Alaska and we will once again look at him to be productive at one of the top two spots of the lineup while also taking on more of a leadership role this season.” Castellitto may have been the unsung hero of last season’s magical run as he always seemed to come up with the big hit when the Zags needed it the most. Hitting behind Tyson Van Winkle, a 10th round pick in the MLB draft and Ryan Wiegand, the Bulldogs all-time leader in hits, RBI, and doubles and 25th round draft pick, Castellitto enjoyed a breakout season, finishing with a teamhigh nine home runs and driving in 42 runs. “Mark is a grinder type of player. He’s always working, always playing through injuries and was a huge part of our success last season,” stated Machtolf. “We are very excited to have Mark back after he had a breakout year. He had a great finish last year, proving he could play on the national stage (.478, 2 2B, 2 HR, 6 RBI in 5 postseason games) and we will look to him to be a force in the middle of our lineup this season.” A couple returners vying for time in right field will be sophomores Chris Sturdivant and Royce Bolinger, both of whom appeared in at least 30 games last season. Sturdivant was the team’s leading pinch-hitter down the stretch and even came off the bench to record a walk-off ninth-inning RBI double to clinch the WCC regular-season title last season. Bolinger had a solid freshman campaign, appearing in 30 games and was the Bulldogs opening day right fielder. He will also bring some added pop to the GU lineup this season. “Chris and Royce are two good athletes that can play either corner outfield spot for us,” commented Machtolf. “Chris was one of our most productive hitters last season, he had some huge hits down the stretch last season and is maybe our best base runner. Royce will provide the lineup with some pop and he will see time either in the outfield or maybe over at first.” Two newcomers also vying for time in the outfield are junior college AllAmerican Tyler Chism out of College of Southern Idaho along with Kyle LaHonta who sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. Both will provide the Bulldogs with big bats off the bench along with outfield depth. Freshmen Billy Moon from Spokane and Jordan Yallen out of California will also look to make impacts in their first season as Zags. Moon will also have an opportunity to pitch out of the bullpen. The Zags lone returning infielder is Ortiz who will anchor the GU defense at shortstop. Ortiz produced one of most impressive freshman offensive seasons in program history last year, finishing third on the team with 15 doubles while also adding three home runs and 23 RBI. “Ernesto handled the pressure of being a freshman shortstop on a NCAA Tournament team,” commented Machtolf. “He made great strides both at the plate and on defense and we are looking forward to seeing him in the middle of our defense once again this year.” The group of returners looking to fill the void at second and third base left by the departed seniors Evan Wells and Jason Chatwood will be Brian Yardley and Cameron Edman. A number of newcomers will litter the infield led by another junior college All-American in Sean Wilson who is the leading candidate at third base and freshmen Californians Clayton Eslick, Steven Halcomb and Kevin Jarvis who all can play second, shortstop or third base. “Unlike last season when we were set with Evan and Jason at second and third, we come into this season wide open at both positions,” commented Machtolf. “Cameron and Brian are two veteran players that could see time at a number of positions and also serve as the designated hitter. Sean is a very
18
solid defender that can also run very well. Clayton and Steven are very impressive freshmen who had solid fall seasons and have proven they can play anywhere in the infield.” At first base, the Bulldogs will look to replace one of the best college hitters in the country and perhaps the greatest hitter ever to come through the program in Ryan Wiegand, who finished his Gonzaga career as the school’s all-time leader in hits, doubles and RBI. The Zags will look to a number of players to step in and contribute. Leading the way is sophomore Andy Hunter who saw limited at-bats last season but had a solid fall season and provides the infielders with a huge target while standing 6-6. The Zags will look to fill another big void left behind the plate by Tyson Van Winkle, last year’s WCC leader in hits and GU-single season record holder in doubles. Freshman Kevin Hawk enters the spring as the leading candidate to start at catcher along with junior college transfer Cody Scott and freshman Brock Slavin. “We have a couple of huge holes to fill at first and at catcher this season but I really like what I saw this fall,” stated Machtolf. “Andy is big target at first base and both him and Royce can provide some pop to our lineup. Kevin is a very solid left-handed hitter who had a solid fall season behind the plate. Brock and Cody each will compete for time behind the plate with Brock possibly playing a little bit at first.” Although the Bulldogs lost three pitchers to the MLB draft last season including WCC Pitcher of the Year Matt Fields and 17th round selection Steven Ames, who elected to sign instead of returning for his senior season, Machtolf feels very comfortable with the group returning on the mound in 2010. “We have some very capable guys who we will look to step up and serve big roles for us this season,” stated Machtolf of his young pitching staff. The leader of the group will be junior Cody Martin who will make the transition from closer to starting pitcher. Martin is coming off two impressive seasons at Gonzaga, earning Freshman All-America honors two seasons ago before posting a team-best 3.07 ERA with six saves last year. The hard throwing right-hander also pitched at the Team U.S. National Team Trials this past summer. “Cody has developed into one of the elite pitchers in the country and I feel very confident with him at the head of our rotation,” stated Machtolf. Two returners who are lined up to step into the two remaining spots in the weekend rotation are junior Reedy Berg and sophomore Ryan Carpenter. Berg emerged as the Zags midweek starter and first out of the bullpen late last season and closed out his season firing six innings of relief to earn the win over Georgia Southern University at the NCAA Regional. Carpenter came to the Zags as one of the country’s top high school pitchers and has not disappointed. He posted six wins last season highlighted with the win at No. 26 Pepperdine University and will be a staple in the Gonzaga weekend rotation. “Reedy has great stuff and he played a big role for us last season. He was a solid mid-week starter and pitched outstanding to earn the win on the national stage at the NCAA Regional,” said Machtolf. “Ryan’s potential is limitless. He came right out of the gate last season and just dominated to start the season. He will be at the top two spots of our rotation for the next couple years and I am really looking forward to seeing him pitch this season.” Returners in seniors Jacob Hiatt and Jeremy Stumetz, along with junior Andrew Danner and sophomores Tyler Olson and Kyle Adkins, each saw a significant number of innings last season. Olson will also push for a weekend rotation but will most likely assume the mid-week starter role and then be one of the first arms out of the bullpen on the weekends. Adkins, Danner, Hiatt and Stumetz each saw time out the bullpen last year and will look to hold leads late again this season. Jacob Brown, Ryan Leahy and Max Manix will also look to bolster the Zags bullpen in 2010. “Tyler emerged as one of our first guys out of the bullpen and also demonstrated his ability to be effective as a mid-week starter last season,” commented Machtolf. “Jacob is coming off an outstanding summer and will look to be a late-inning stopper for us. Danner and Stumetz are two veteran arms that have thrown some big innings in their careers and we will look to them to step into big roles for us this season.” Four newcomers join the Bulldog pitching staff led by junior college transfers Mark Phillips and Liam Baron along with freshmen Stephen Hertz and Karl Myers. Scott is a highly touted right-hander out of Colby Community College in Kansas and Baron is a lefthander out of Australia that was a two-time All-NWAACC selection at Linn Benton Community College in Oregon the past two seasons. “Mark and Liam are a couple of veteran pitchers who are very capable of moving into the rotation at some point this season,” Machtolf added. “Both pitchers have good control and attack the strike zone and we will look to them to each eat up some innings either as starters and/or relievers.” With such a new group Machtolf welcomes the challenge of teaching the new group as they work on defending their conference title and get back to the NCAA Tournament. “We are going to have to be very efficient this season, we can’t afford to throw at-bats away or take pitches off because this group is still learning how to play the game,” commented Machtolf. “We have a bunch of guys who are very capable of playing at a high level so we have to focus on having good practices and making steps forward every day if we want to repeat as WCC Champions and return to the NCAA Tournament.”

2009 SEASON REVIEW ZAGS PUNCH NCAA TOURNAMENT TICKET WITH WCC TITLE The 2009 season saw the Gonzaga University baseball team claim the program’s inaugural West Coast Conference regular-season and Championship Series titles, clinching their eighth trip to the NCAA Tournament, the first since 1981. Chris Sturdivant’s pinch-hit walk-off RBI double in the ninth inning against Loyola Marymount University May 16 claimed the regular-season title, giving the Zags the right to host the WCC Championship Series. The following weekend, Ryan Wiegand’s walk-off RBI infield single gave the Zags a 4-3 game one win over LMU. The Bulldogs kept things rolling in game two, punching their ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a 14-3 series-clinching rout of the Lions behind Wiegand’s three-homer eight-RBI performance. BULLLDOGS AT THE NCAA FULLERTON REGIONAL Gonzaga University was placed in the Fullerton Regional bracket of the NCAA Tournament, hosted by No. 2 national seed Cal State Fullerton and also comprised of No. 2 seeded Georgia Southern University, the No. 3 seeded Zags and No. 4 seeded University of Utah. Gonzaga made its presence known in the first inning of its opening round matchup against No. 29 Georgia Southern, putting up seven runs in the inning only to have GSU comeback to tie it at 8-8 in the third inning. GU went on to score a run in each of the final six innings to claim a 19-10 win. In the winners bracket matchup the next night against Cal State Fullerton, the Zags built a 2-0 lead then went on to trade leads with CSF for the next couple innings before the Titans brought single runs across in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to hand GU a 7-4 defeat. The following afternoon Gonzaga was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament after suffering a 9-7 loss to Utah. The Zags posted a 1-2 record at the NCAA Tournament, marking their first NCAA Tournament win since 1980 and senior second baseman Evan Wells was named to the NCAA Fullerton Regional All-Tournament team. MACHTOLF AND FIELDS GARNER TOP WCC HONORS After claiming the program’s inaugural West Coast Conference regular-season title, Gonzaga University head coach Mark Machtolf was named the WCC Coach of the Year and senior Matt Fields was named the WCC Pitcher of the Year. Machtolf picked up his first career Coach of the Year honor after leading the Bulldogs to the WCC title and third consecutive 30-win season, marking the first time that has happened at Gonzaga in more than 25 years. Fields posted a perfect 5-0 mark in WCC play en route becoming the second Zag to earn the WCC’s top pitching honor in the past three seasons after Clayton Mortensen won the award in 2007. PROGRAM-BEST FIVE PLAYERS SELECTED IN MLB DRAFT Following the record-setting season, a program-best five Gonzaga University Bulldogs were taken in the Major League Baseball Amatuer Draft this past June, marking the most for the Zags since the 2003 team had four players taken in the draft. Junior catcher Tyson Van Winkle was selected in the 10th round by the Arizona Diamondbacks, junior pitcher Steven Ames was taken in the 17th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers, senior pitcher Matt Fields was drafted in the 22nd round by the Toronto Blue Jays, senior first baseman Ryan Wiegand was selected in the 25th round by the Tampa Bay Rays and senior pitcher AJ Proszek went in the 38th round to the San Francisco Giants. Both Ames and Van Winkle elected to forgo their senior seasons and signed professional contracts.

FIELDS NAMED THIRD TEAM ALL-AMERICAN Gonzaga University senior pitcher Matt Fields garnered a number of accolades last season, picking up the West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year, earning a spot on the All-WCC team and becoming the seventh Zag to earn All-America honors after being placed on the All-America third team by Collegiate Baseball. Fields became the first Bulldog to earn All-America honors since pitcher Clayton Mortensen earned the same recognition in 2007. Fields finished the season with an 8-1 record, an 3.47 ERA, two complete games and 74 strikeouts in 90.2 innings. THREE STRAIGHT 30-WIN SEASONS Gonzaga University’s 6-4 win over Saint Mary’s College May 3 was its 30th win of the season, marking the Bulldogs third consecutive 30-win season. It is the first time Gonzaga has accomplished the feat since the 1980-82 teams each recorded at least 30 wins. The Zags finished with a 36-18 overall record last season, the most by a Gonzaga club since the 1990 team finished with 37 wins. FIVE BULLDOGS EARN ALL-WCC HONORS Five Gonzaga University players earned All-West Coast Conference honors last season. Senior pitcher Matt Fields, senior designated hitter Anthony Synegal, senior first baseman Ryan Wiegand and junior catcher Tyson Van Winkle each earned All-WCC accolades while junior pitcher Steven Ames received All-WCC honorable mention. In addition to Fields earning WCC Pitcher of the Year, Van Winkle highlighted the group with a school-record 27 doubles, a WCC-best 84 hits and also drove in 61 runs. WIEGAND WRECKS THE GONZAGA RECORD BOOKS Gonzaga University senior first baseman Ryan Wiegand became Gonzaga’s all-time hits leader May 1 against Saint Mary’s College, picking up three hits to pass Eric Rodland’s top mark of 269. Earlier in the season, he became the school’s all-time leader in RBI and doubles. Wiegand also passed Jeff Hainline’s career RBI mark of 186 and Jerrod Wong’s doubles mark of 60 with his double and two RBI at the University of Portland April 18. Wiegand closed his Gonzaga career as the program’s all-time leader in hits (285), doubles (67) and RBI (217) and second in all-time at-bats (840). ZAGS CLOSE OUT SEASON RANKED NO. 22 Gonzaga University closed out its record-setting season ranked No. 22 in the Baseball America final rankings. The Zags appeared in rankings four times last season, first breaking in at No. 22 April 13 and later moving up to No. 19 in late May. It is the highest ranking the Bulldogs have received since the 1981 team reached a No. 9 ranking. Following the NCAA Tournament the Zags were again ranked No. 22 before the final season polls were released June 30 with Gonzaga again sitting at No. 22.

GONZAGA UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY ORIGIN Gonzaga was founded in 1887 by Father Joseph Cataldo, S.J., as a frontier boarding school for boys. The school has established its own unique identity since starting as a single building along the banks of the Spokane River. Named for the Jesuit Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, the patron of youth, the 116-year-old institution has grown and matured into one of the West’s premier regional universities. Gonzaga’s educational philosophy is based on the 450-year-old Ignatian model that aims to educate the whole person-mind, body and spirit - an integration of science and art, faith and reason, action and contemplation. The state Legislature accorded Gonzaga status as a University in 1912, the same year the School of Law began. The 1920’s were highlighted by the establishment of the School of Business Administration (1921) and the School of Education (1928). The Graduate School was launched in 1931 and the School of Engineering was created in 1934 to meet the demand sparked by the new national interest in hydroelectric projects. Enrollment swelled in the late 1940’s due largely to the G.I. Bill and women were first admitted in 1948. Situated on 94 acres of landscaped campus located in a residential section of Spokane, the Gonzaga campus continues to grow and change with the times. Opening in the summer of 2000, Gonzaga’s School of Law Building becomes the newest addition to the growing urban campus. A new Rosauers School of Education building was completed in the spring of 1994, and Jundt Art Center and Museum opened in the fall of 1995. Other campus additions in recent years are the Herak Center which houses the School of Engineering and the Jepson Center which has the School of Business Administration as its tenants. The former Crosby Library was transformed into a new Student Union Building.

GONZAGA UNIVERSITY What the Future Holds In April 2002, Gonzaga launched a $119 million capital campaign entitled “Educating People the World Needs Most.” The campaign will provide new scholarships and professorships, and construction and renovation of buildings for athletics and recreation, the sciences, business, engineering, the performing arts and residence living. The Start of Jesuit Education Founded in 1540 by Basque nobleman Ignatius of Loyola, the Society of Jesus is an order of Catholic priests and brothers, who with their lay colleagues, carry on a 450-year tradition of eduction excellence. While recovering from a battle wound, Ignatius’ life was changed by reading the Bible and studying the lives of the saints. His religious experiences led him to renounce the life of courtier and soldier to serve God. That inspired him to write the Spiritual Exercises, a work that would become the basis of Jesuit spirituality and mission. After studying at the University of Paris for seven years, he founded a school based on his scholarship. At the time of Ignatius’ death in 1556, Jesuits ran 33 colleges and universities worldwide. Georgetown University, founded in 1789, became the first American Jesuit university. There are now 112 Jesuit colleges and universities in the world, including 33 in the United States. Gonzaga University is named for Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, a 16th century priest. In his effort to comfort the ill in Rome during the plague, he caught the scourge and died a young man. He is named the Patron Saint of Youth.

GONZAGA ATHLETICS Athletic tradition at Gonzaga University is almost as old as the University itself, ranging from the football hey days at the early part of the century to the Bulldogs foray into the NCAA Elite Eight. As the University has grown from a single building along the banks of the Spokane River in 1887 into a major urban campus, so too has the Gonzaga athletic program grown. Gonzaga now competes in 14 varsity sports at the NCAA Division I level and is a proud member of the West Coast Conference. In the early part of the century, football was the game at Gonzaga as future NFL Hall-of-Famers Ray Flaherty and Tony Canadeo joined with many others to put Bulldog Athletics on the map. As Gonzaga slowly dropped football as an intercollegiate sport, hockey came to the forefront as Gonzaga won the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Hockey Championship in 1939. During the 1940’s and 1950’s men’s basketball and boxing became the feature sports at Gonzaga as the Bulldog’s basketball team reached the 1948 NAIA National Tournament played in Kansas City. Two years later Gonzaga won its only NCAA National Championship to date as the Bulldog boxing team won the 1950 NCAA Championship. Men’s basketball remained in the spotlight through the late 1950’s as Gonzaga’s all-time leading rebounder Jerry Vermillion and all-time leading scorer Frank Burgess graced the hardwood for the Zags. Through the 1970’s and early 1980’s Gonzaga baseball came to dominate play in the Pacific Northwest. The Bulldogs won eight conference titles over a 10-year span from 1971-1981. That 10-year run witnessed seven post-season appearances for Gonzaga, highlighted by a NCAA West Regional championship appearance in 1978. Women’s athletics had some of its most successful years as the 1990’s started with both the volleyball and basketball teams making post-season appearances. Behind All-Americans Lisa Petticord and Kelley Cunningham, the volleyball Bulldogs made their only NCAA Tournament appearance in 1990. In 1994 the women’s basketball team grabbed the spotlight making it’s first post-season tournament with a bid to the Women’s National Invitational Tournament in Amarillo, Texas. The women’s team returned to post-season action in 2004 and 2005 with back-to-back WNIT bid. In 2007 Gonzaga women’s basketball completed its most successful season to date winning its inagural WCC Tournament Champiopnship and earning its first berth into the NCAA Tournament. Women’s crew has also become a dominant sport with the team winning 11 West Coast Conference Rowing Championships and capturing the ECAC National Invitational championship in 2003.

A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS Gonzaga has been vaulted on the national scene based on the success of its men’s basketball team in the NCAA Tournament. In 1999, the Bulldogs captured the hearts of the nation with their incredible run to the Elite Eight, following up that success with Sweet Sixteen appearances in 2000 and 2001. Men’s basketball has continued to build on that national success making 10-straight NCAA Tournament appearances and reaching the top echelon of the national rankings. In 2002 Gonzaga finished the season ranked sixth in the Associated Press poll only to top that success two seasons later with a No. 3 national ranking and a No. 2 seed in the 2004 NCAA Tournament. National Player of the Year candidate Adam Morrison led the nation in scoring in 2006. He was the third pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, selected by the Charlotte Bobcats. Along with team success, the Bulldogs have also had numerous individual accolades during the past couple of years with basketball stars Dan Dickau, Blake Stepp and Adam Morrison each earning All-American honors while being named to the Wooden All-American teams. On the baseball field Nate Gold led the NCAA in home runs in 2002 while earning All-America honors and becoming a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and Rotary Smith awards for collegiate baseball Player of the Year. In 2004 catcher Kiel Thibault continued that success as he was named a semifinalist for the Johnny Bench Award for baseball’s top collegiate catcher. In 2007, pitcher Clayton Mortenson was named Louisville Slugger Third Team All-America and was drafted 36th overall in the MLB draft. On the water women’s rower Maria Bokulich and Kelly Steinhaus made names for themselves with All-America accolades and invites to the U.S. Rowing National Team non-Olympic camp. In addition to standout athletic teams through the years and recent individual success, Gonzaga has also been home to many top notch individual athletes such as the NBA’s all-time assist and steals leader - John Stockton; U.S. Speed Skating Champion and 2006 Olympian - Kristine Holzer; U.S. National Soccer team member - Brian Ching; Florida Marlins World Series catcher Mike Redmond; 2004 National League Rookie of the Year and 2005 All-Star - Jason Bay; U.S. Olympic Rowing team member - Monica Tranel-Michini; former two-time U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Golf Champion - Connie Oldershaw Guthrie; and Stanley Cup winning goal-keeper and 1945 Calder Cup recipient for the Toronto Maple Leafs - Frank McCool.

Gonzaga Soccer Field Construction on Gonzaga’s new multi-million dollar soccer stadium started in early February of 2008, and anyone who has visited the Rudolf Fitness Center knows and has seen firsthand as the project has gone from muddy mess to a pile of dirt to green field of dreams. The first phase of the stadium was completed in late August. Phase I included both the main playing and practice fields, the plaza, press box, main ticket booth, berms and site landscaping. Phases II, III and IV will round out work on the soccer stadium including the completion of the main grandstands, locker rooms, concessions, restrooms and lastly the installation of the stadium lights.

JOSH BURROWS PERFORMANCE ATHLETIC CENTER Josh Burrows had a vision and Gonzaga University had a need. The two culminated into what you see before you today, the Josh Burrows Performance Athletic Center. His vision was to provide Gonzaga University and its student-athletes the winning edge in sports science, emphasizing state-of-the-art sports training methods. That vision has now become a reality. A 1979 graduate of Gonzaga University and longtime Spokane resident, Josh has always been interested in dynamic sports training. He has spent countless hours researching and identifying improved means of increasing athletic performance, some of it through his own athletic training. With the dedication of the Josh Burrows Performance Center, “JB”, as he is affectionately known by the student-athletes, will be remembered as the “father of fitness” within the Bulldogs Athletics Family, as student-athletes for years to come will reap the rewards of his vision.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS Gonzaga coaches take an active role in monitoring the academic standing of their athletes. Coaches require studentathletes to attend study table when on the road for an extended period, and several coaches have also adopted a study table policy at home. If a student-athlete is struggling academically, there are several avenues of help available. Tutors are available specifically for student-athletes, and student-athletes can also utilize the general Gonzaga University tutors, study labs and computer work stations available to the entire student population. The success of the attention paid to the academic welfare of the student-athletes is reflected in their performance in the classroom. During the 2007-08 academic year, 68 studentathletes were on the President’s List with a grade point average of 3.7 or higher, and 56 were on the Dean’s List for a GPA of 3.5-3.69. Overall, Gonzaga’s 300-plus student-athletes combined for a 3.30 GPA for the semester, raising the cumulative GPA to 3.21. Gonzaga student-athletes constantly dot the West Coast Conference all-academic teams, and on a national scale 20 student-athletes have been named to CoSIDA/Verizon Academic All-America squads. The Gonzaga baseball program has produced six Academic All-America accolades, including Eric Rodland and Jared Hertz, both two-time honorees.

DR. THAYNE Mc McCULLOH PRESIDENT Dr. Thayne McCulloh (BA, ’89) became Gonzaga University’s president in the summer of 2009, succeeding the eleven-year tenure of Jesuit President Father Robert J. Spitzer. McCulloh, with 19 years as a Gonzaga administrator, knows that it is his job – ‘interim’ title notwithstanding – to collaborate with other Gonzaga stakeholders and continue to build upon Fr. Spitzer’s remarkable legacy. In fall 2009, Gonzaga enrolled its largest freshman class ever, more than 1,200 students, bringing the university overall enrollment to more than 7,500. While continued success in all ways is important to McCulloh, sustaining and reinforcing the mission of Gonzaga as a Jesuit, Catholic and humanistic institution is fundamental to him. “We, as a community, are going to be led first and foremost by our University Mission, which unites us and allows us to remain focused and faithful to the charge that has been given to all of us,” McCulloh said. “Our fundamental mission is to educate men and women in an environment that is both academically rigorous and distinctively Jesuit, Catholic, and humanistic.” McCulloh knows that environment well. He spent three years here as an undergraduate, earning his bachelor’s degree in psychology, before moving on to Oxford University to earn a doctorate in experimental social psychology. He returned to Gonzaga in 1990 and has held numerous positions – and worked on many projects – over the past 19 years. These include service as interim academic vice president, vice president for administration and planning, associate academic vice president, and dean of student financial services, among others. Gonzaga is ingrained in him. “Gonzaga is our life in a lot of ways,” said McCulloh,
who with wife Julie (BA ’92, MBA ’97, Gonzaga’s dean of admission), has three daughters. “The way we choose to work and live is with an understanding that it’s not merely ‘a job.’ We feel we are participating in something really important. It’s great to be a part of it, and it’s why we feel at home at Gonzaga. It’s hard to draw a sharp distinction between our private life and our life at Gonzaga, as there is an awful lot that we share, as a family, in common with others who work here. “I came to Gonzaga to get a college education, and what brought me back as an employee was the awareness that this place is about transforming women and men who have unique gifts and talents, and come from all different experiences. Here we ask students to focus on important life questions, and we challenge them to think about what they want to do with their lives that will be of benefit to their fellow human beings. That’s a powerful and important endeavor in a world so desperately in need of it,” McCulloh said. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Washington, D.C. and Seattle, McCulloh attended Seattle’s Bishop Blanchet High School. Following high school, he completed a three-year enlistment as a food service sergeant in the U.S. Army. He arrived at Gonzaga in its centennial year (1986), served as a resident assistant and resident director, was president of Alpha Sigma Nu (the Jesuit honor society), and was elected student body president. He, Julie, and their three daughters are big fans of Gonzaga sports and attend home games when their schedules permit. McCulloh will serve as president pending the selection of a permanent Jesuit president by the Board of Trustees.
Mission Statement of Gonzaga University Gonzaga University belongs to a long and distinguished tradition of humanistic, Catholic, and Jesuit education. We are committed to preserving and developing that tradition and communicating it to our students and alumni. As humanistic, we recognize the essential role of human creativity, intelligence, and initiative in the construction of society and culture. As Catholic, we affirm the heritage which has developed through two thousand years of Christian living, theological reflection, and authentic interpretation. As Jesuit, we are inspired by the vision of Christ at work in the world, transforming it by His love, and calling men and women to work with Him in loving service of the human community. All these elements of our tradition come together within the sphere of free intellectual inquiry characteristic of a university. At Gonzaga, this inquiry is primarily focused on Western culture, within which our tradition has developed. We also believe that a knowledge of traditions and cultures different from our own draws us closer to the human family of which we are a part and makes us more aware of both the possibilities and limitations of our own heritage. Therefore, in addition to our primary emphasis on Western culture, we seek to provide for our students some opportunity to become familiar with a variety of human cultures. In the light of our own tradition and the variety of human societies, we seek to understand the world we live in. It is a world of great technological progress, scientific complexity and competing ideologies. It offers great possibilities for cooperation and interdependence, but at the same time presents us with the fact of widespread poverty, hunger, injustice, and the prospect of degeneration and destruction. We seek to provide for our students some understanding of contemporary civilization; and we invite them to reflect with us on the problems and possibilities of a scientific age, the ideological differences that separate the peoples of the world, and the rights and responsibilities that come from commitment to a free society. In this way we hope to prepare our students for an enlightened dedication to the Christian ideals of justice and peace.

When the West Coast Conference got its start back in 1952, the founders really had one goal in mind - to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball. What has grown from that original vision 52 years ago is a marvelous cohesive athletics league which is competitive at the national level in 13 sports. The eight current members of the WCC span the Western United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in athletics and academics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission. The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and volleyball. The league was chartered by five Bay Area institutions (Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, San Jose State, and Santa Clara) as the California Basketball Association, playing its first game on January 2, 1953. After two seasons of play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became the “West Coast Athletic Conference” in 1956. The name was shortened to “West Coast Conference” in 1989. The current full-time lineup of WCC schools has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third most stable conference in the country. Baseball began in the WCC in 1968. Five conference institutions were charter members of the baseball league along with three associates - Pacific, UC Santa Barbara and San Jose State. The conference temporarily split from 1977-84 into the Northern and Southern California Baseball Associations, but realigned in 1985 to include San Diego and Nevada. The Wolf Pack stayed until 1991, when WCC baseball was reduced to six institutions. In 1996, Gonzaga and Portland, full members in all other sports, left the Pacific-10 Conference North to bring the WCC to its full eight members competing in baseball. Created for the 1999 season, divisional play was put in place to ease scheduling for WCC schools and to create a conference championship series. The championship series is a best two-out-of-three between the division winners, played at the school which wins the regular season series between the two schools. The conference championship winner receives the WCC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, which expanded from 48 to 64 teams in 1999. West Coast Conference baseball members have always done well in the NCAA Tournament with four trips to the College World Series including Pepperdine’s 1992 national championship. Loyola Marymount made the trip to Omaha in 1986, Pepperdine made its first trip in 1979 and Santa Clara represented the WCC in the 1962 championship game. As for its overall success, the WCC has annually advanced at least one team to a national championship semifinal since 1989. League members have also won 34 NCAA team and individual championships.
