JACK STALLINGS FIELD
JACK STALLINGS FIELD
Jack Stallings, the winningest coach in Georgia Southern baseball history, not only had his jersey retired, but in February 2005 was also honored by having the playing field at J.I. Clements Stadium named after him. His #1 is just the second jersey ever retired in the Eagles’ baseball program. In 24 years in charge of the Eagles he posted a 858-581-5 record and trip to the 1990 College World Series. Stallings won 1,257 games in 39 seasons as a head coach.
Mason Clements Wall of Fame Former Georgia Southern standout Mason Clements donated the plaque that graces the entrance of the stadium named after his brother, J.I. Clements. Pictured are the late Mason Clements (second left) with family members following the dedication in February 2005.
J.I. CLEMENTS STADIUM
In addition to J.I. CLEMENTS STADIUM, Georgia Southern enjoys superb associated facilities. The WIGGINS BUILDING is located adjacent to J.I. Clements Stadium and houses coaching offices along with locker rooms for Georgia Southern. Tucked alongside the third-base line is a series of batting cages, called FT. KNOCKS, which help the Eagles hone their hitting skills.
The Champions Room is located on the main concourse of J.I. Clements Stadium. The room is home to historical memorabilia and can host business meetings or meals with recruits.
J.I. CLEMENTS STADIUM
The VIP Suite, located on the pressbox level of J.I. Clements Stadium, gives the feel of a luxury box at any Major League Baseball Stadium. The suite offers not only seating in the climate-controlled indoors but 27 stadium chairback seats outside.
LITTLE EAGLES CAMP
The Georgia Southern Baseball team hosts an annual Little Eagles Baseball Camp and Meet the Baseball Eagles Day in February at J.I Clements Stadium prior to the start of the season. All camp participants receive instruction from Baseball coaches and players as they go through hitting, throwing, fielding, and base running drills. Following the Little Eagles Baseball Camp, participants and fans receive the annual baseball schedule poster and will have the opportunity to have their posters signed by the players and the coaching staff. A intra-squad scrimmage usually concludes the day and gives fans, parents and kids the opportunity to watch the team for the first time that season.
2011 SOCON TOURNAMENT 2011 SOUTHERN CONFERENCE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT May 26-30 Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park Charleston, S.C. Host: The Citadel The 28th Annual Southern Conference Baseball Championship will take place Wednesday, May 25th through Sunday, May 29th in Charleston, SC. The Citadel will host the tournament at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. The tournament will begin on Wednesday, May 25th at 9:00 a.m., and will conclude with the championship game on Sunday, May 29th at 2:00 p.m. (All times subject to change). The winner of the Baseball Championship receives the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Baseball Championship. At last year’s tournament in Charleston, S.C. a crowd of 4,895, the third-largest in tournament history, witnessed the championship game. Top-seeded and regular season champion, The Citadel, jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the second inning and never looked back en route to a 10-3 victory over No. 6 seed Western Carolina, clinching its eighth Southern Conference baseball tournament title. The Southern Conference had three institutions selected to the NCAA Regionals (The Citadel, College of Charleston and Elon University), the most ever for the conference. History of Riley Park Named for the longtime Charleston mayor, who is a 1964 graduate of The Citadel, “The Joe” has seating for 6,000 in one of the most picturesque ballpark settings in the country. Designed by HOK Sport, the same architecture firm that designed Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Coors Field in Denver, Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. and PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Riley Park is located on the banks of the Ashley River with a view of the Charleston Marina beyond the left-center field wall. In its inaugural season, Riley Park became home to the Southern Conference Tournament, a popular mainstay in the Holy City. One of the most attended college baseball tournaments in the nation, The Citadel and Riley Park hosted the SoCon Tournament through the 2008 season, marking 19 consecutive years the tournament has been held in Charleston.

The Eagles advanced to the NCAA Regionals three consecutive years from 2000-2003, won the Southern Conference Tournament title three times and been runner-up twice during his tenure. Georgia Southern added their latest piece of trophy hardware in 2009, grabbing the Southern Conference Tournament Title with a 7-3 win over Elon. Kyle Blackburn hit a

towering three-run homer to break open a scoreless ballgame in the sixth inning and picked up Tournament MVP Honors. Georgia Southern finished with 30 wins for the 11th time in 2010. The Eagles finished third in the league with a .309 batting average and were second in on-base percentage (.406). Led by Dexter Bobo’s 10 saves, the GSU bullpen tied with Appalachian State for a SoCon-best 15 saves. The stops didn’t end there as the defense posted the best fielding percentage in the league (.967). Jake Brown and Shawn Payne were both drafted after the season. While the Eagles have continued their winning tradition on the field, Hennon also puts an emphasis on success in the classroom. Academics have always been a high priority for Hennon, a two-time GTE Academic All-America selection during his playing days at Western Carolina. In 2008, David Richardson (2nd Team), Chris Shehan (3rd Team) and Brian Pierce (3rd Team) all earned CoSIDA Academic All-District accolades. During the 2005-06 academic year, the baseball team posted the highest GPA of any men’s team, snapping a seven-year run by the tennis squad. Following the fall 2007 semester, 14 players recorded a 3.50 GPA (the most representatives of any Georgia Southern sports program) and five scored a perfect 4.0 GPA. In 2008 Georgia Southern put up staggering offensive numbers, not only program record-setting numbers but also statistics that ranked among the nation’s best. The Eagles finished the year nationally ranked in various offensive categories: second in batting average (.346); second in

The offensive juggernauts set GS records with: 114 home runs (3rd in SoCon season ‘Top 10’), six grand slams (1st SoCon), 595 runs scored (2nd SoCon), 543 RBI (2nd SoCon), 1,269 total bases (2nd SoCon) and 751 hits (5th SoCon). The 154 doubles were second most (5th SoCon), and the .346 team batting average was the highest total in the modern era (tied 5th SoCon). Georgia Southern’s .584 slugging percentage was the second-highest average in the SoCon record books, and the 37 sacrifice flies tied for second-most. One of the most impressive offensive displays - not only in Georgia Southern history but in the nation - came in mid-March 2008 at home against Columbia. The Eagles slammed a NCAA Division I record 14 home runs during a 26-8 rout of the Lions. In fact 12 different Eagles went deep, including a stretch of three straight pinch-hit home runs in the eighth inning. Two games later against the Lions, Georgia Southern pounded out another 13 extra-base hits in a 22-8 victory. Hennon coached a pair of All-Region and AllAmerica performers in 2008. Shehan was one of 16 semifinalists for the prestigious Dick Howser Award and one of the final 50 for the Brooks Wallace Award and Golden Spikes Award, given to the National Player of the Year. Shehan was the only representative from the Southern Conference on either list, and would also be named SoCon ‘Player of the Year’ by the Sports Media Association. Shehan capped his impressive junior year by earning various First Team AllAmerica accolades (American Baseball Coaches Association, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, PING!Baseball). Ty Wright made an immediate impact in his first year, also earning national accolades. The power-hitting designated hitter ranked among the national leaders in several offensive categories. He was selected First Team All-Atlantic Region and Second Team
All-America (ABCA). In all six players earned All-Southern Conference honors, matching the 2001 squad for most-ever All-SoCon picks in a season. Three players were selected in the Major League Baseball draft, marking 23 Eagles total during Coach Hennon’s tenure to have signed a MLB contract. The 2007 season started off in memorable fashion, Georgia Southern’s first-ever trip to Hawai’i. The Eagles opened with a win, kicking off an 8-2 start to the season. That impressive start also included the first home sweep of (11thranked) Georgia Tech since 1996. Nearly 4,400 were in attendance for that home-opening series against the Yellow Jackets. That series produced the second-largest crowd in J.I. Clements history (2,712) and second-largest attended 2-game series. The Eagles ended the 2007 campaign ranked in two season ‘Top 10’ categories (including the second-highest

During the 2005 campaign the Eagles put together one of the most dominating offenses in the country, posting a .331 team batting average which led to the 38 wins and a runner-up SoCon finish. Not only did that impressive batting average rank third-best in GSU history but the fifth-highest in the nation. Southern also ranked 11th nationally in slugging percentage, 25th in scoring and home runs, 47th in stolen bases and 22nd in doubles per game. For the first time in program history, two players hit .400 in the same season. Greg Dowling (.400) and James Payne (.407) both earned the honor following the 2005 season. In 2003, Hennon guided the Eagles to a third SoCon Tournament championship game appearance in four seasons. GSU came within one out of winning a third tournament before falling in extra innings to Western Carolina.

Faced with a continuing set of obstacles and hurdles during his initial spring (2000) in Statesboro, the Dalton native handled each with the resiliency, maturity and composure rarely displayed by the most seasoned of head coaches. When it was all said and done, Hennon had led his spirited and over-achieving 19-man Eagle squad to a 38-23 record, a Southern Conference regular season and tournament championship and the school’s first NCAA Regional appearance in four years.

The Eagles’ buoyancy was even more forthcoming when it mattered most - late in the season. Along with a trimmed down pitching staff of just six arms, Hennon’s club set a new school record with a 23-7 league mark and won 23 of its last 33 games after finishing February and March just two games over .500 at 15-13.

In 12 seasons as a collegiate head coach, Hennon reached yet another milestone victory in 2008, win #400 (12-6 at Wofford). He owns a 451-271-1 record - an average of 38 wins per year. In fact, when he captured his 100th career victory with an 18-5 triumph over Wofford on April 8, 2000, he accomplished a most-notable achievement by reaching the triple-digit milestone quicker than any other coach in league history.
When he accepted the GSU position, Hennon ended a successful twoyear stay as head coach at Western Carolina University after leading the PERSONAL: Catamounts to Born: November 11, 1969 an 81-38-1 (.679) overall record and a Southern Conference mark of 38-16 (.704).
After accepting an offer to guide the Western Carolina program in July 1997, Hennon quickly added his own distinctive chapters to one of the winningest programs in the Southern Conference.

During his inaugural campaign as head coach in 1998, Hennon led the Catamounts to a 45-15 overall record and a 20-6 SoCon mark, tying the WCU mark for most victories in a single year and ranking sixth among all NCAA Division I members in winning percentage. His players claimed both the Southern Conference’s Pitcher and Player of the Year award while seven signed professional contracts at the conclusion of the season. In addition, the 1998 WCU squad led the nation in stolen bases with 153, which shattered a 33-yearold school record and a 16-year-old conference mark. He directed a pitching staff which also enjoyed an outstanding season, turning in a 4.01 earned run average to rank 11th nationally, while finishing ninth among all Division I institutions with 499 strikeouts.

The 19-man 2000 squad made an impressive run through the Southern Conference regular season and tournament to capture both titles. Georgia Southern played in the NCAA Atlanta Regional that season. Hennon made three consecutive trips to an NCAA Regional from 2000-2002. Directly below is the 2001 team and the 2002 team is displayed at the bottom.
Hennon followed up his record-setting initial season with a 36-23-1 mark, which included a third-place league standing at 18-10. The Catamounts easily distinguished themselves as the SoCon’s top offensive squad with conference bests in batting average (.328), on-base percentage (.413), slugging percentage (.523), runs (502), hits (684), home runs (82) and runs batted in (445) while finishing second in triples (20) and third Southern Conference Championships: 1993, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009

HEAD COACH RODNEY HENNON non served as a full-time assistant coach for his alma mater for three seasons and was a two-time All-SoCon second baseman for the Catamounts in the early 1990s. As an assistant coach, Hennon helped lead the Cats to a 42-20 record, a Southern Conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance in 1997 as a member of the late Keith LeClair’s staff. He joined the WCU baseball staff in 1994 as a part-time assistant after earning numerous on-field and classroom honors during his playing career from 1990 to 1993. A Second Team All-SoCon choice in 1992, Hennon batted .367 to lead the SoCon in hits and runs scored, while sparking the Catamounts to the league regular season and tournament championship. Despite his all-tournament performance (eight hits and five RBI), WCU fell one game short of reaching the College World Series after falling to Florida State in NCAA South II Regional Championship. A year later as a senior, Hennon earned First Team AllSoCon honors, again leading the league in hits and runs scored and helping the Catamounts to the NCAA South Regional in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He currently ranks first among WCU season leaders in games started and atbats, while standing tied for 19th in runs scored (160) and 23rd for hits (208). Hennon earned his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Western Carolina in 1993. In the classroom, he was a two-time GTE-CoSIDA Academic All-America choice as he posted a 3.55 grade point average during his four years of undergraduate work in WCU’s College of Business. Hennon was also named to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll in each of his four years while competing as a student-athlete. Hennon is married to the former Kim Estes of Fairburn and they are the parents of three children - Walker, Keeli and Carter.

Mike Tidick Assistant Coach 12th Year
Also entering his 12th year on the Georgia Southern staff working with Head Coach Rodney Hennon, Mike Tidick continues to build on his reputation as one of the top offensive coaches and recruiters around. Ever since his first assistant coaching job (at Elon in 1997), Tidick has never had a team hit lower than .295 in a season. He has also had 20 players continue their careers in the professional ranks during his 15 year coaching career. Since joining the Georgia Southern staff in August of 1999 Tidick has coached 16 Eagles who have been taken in the draft. He has had a player selected in eight of his elven seasons as hitting coach at GSU. Just recently following the 2010 season Shawn Payne was selected in the 44th round by the Kansas City Royals. The year before Tidick had two players selected in Griffin Benedict and Ty Wright. Benedict was a 16th round selection of the Sand Diego Padres and reached AAA in his first season. Wright was also selected by the Padres in the 25th round.

Two more players were drafted in 2008. Jeremy Beckham was a 17th round draft pick by Tampa Bay and Shehan in the 30th round by Atlanta. Shehan was the Southern Conference Player of the Year that season and is one of four Players of the Year Tidick has worked with during his career. Shehan was one of 16 semifinalists for the prestigious Dick Howser Award and one of the final 50 for the Brooks Wallace Award and Golden Spikes Award, given to the National Player of the Year. Shehan was the only representative from the Southern Conference on either list, and would also be named SoCon ‘Player of the Year’ by the Sports Media Association. Shehan capped his impressive junior year by earning various First Team All-America accolades (American Baseball Coaches Association, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, PING!Baseball). Tidick also coached Martin Barrow and Chris Moore to Player of the Year Awards at Western Carolina and helped Matt Easterday to the same award in 2000 in his first season as a coach with the Eagles. Moore was an 11th round selection of the Colorado Rockies in 1999, while Easterday was a 21st round pick of the Florida Marlins. Other draft notables from Tidick’s coaching career at Western Carolina include Eric Johnson who was a third round pick by the Cleveland Indians and Charles Thomas who played two seasons in the Major Leagues. Thomas hit .288 in 83 games with the Atlanta Braves in his debut season in 2004. The 2010 squad hit over .300 for the fourth-straight season and had two players rank among the toughest to strike out in the NCAA. Kevin Bowles was the fifth toughest in the nation last season and struck out just nine times in 229 at bats. Eric Phillips also showed up on the list and was 20th in Division I with 13 strikeouts in 243 at bats. The 2009 Eagles hit an impressive .327 en route to the 2009 Southern Conference Tournament Championship. The Eagles were led by senior catcher Griffin Benedict who hit .412 on the year with 14 home runs and 65 RBI. As a team, the Eagles combined for a .515 slugging percentage and .422 on-base mark. In 2008 the Eagles put up staggering offensive numbers, not only program record-setting numbers but also statistics that ranked among the nation’s best. The Eagles finished nationally ranked in various offensive categories: second in batting average (.346); second in scoring (10.3 runs per game); fourth in doubles (2.66 p/g); second in HR (114); second in slugging pct. (.584); 13th in walks (302); and 15th in stolen bases (108). One of the most impressive offensive displays - not only in Georgia Southern history but in the nation - came in mid-March 2008 at home against Columbia. The Eagles slammed a NCAA Division I record 14 home runs during a 26-8 rout of the Lions. When it was all said and done, five hitters earned All-Southern Conference honors that season. Chris Shehan and Ty Wright would also receive All-Atlantic Region and All-America accolades as well. The 2007 Eagles finished 11th in the country hitting 143 doubles. Georgia Southern ranked among the top 15 percent nationally in scoring (7.1 runs per game) and home runs (61). Tidick coached seven players that batted .300 or better. Working with an offensive line-up that had at times six freshmen starting, the 2006 squad hit .304 overall. The impressive list of ofThe 12 players that hit the NCAA record-setting 14 home runs in a fensive numbers goes on: seven starters hit .300 or better, Matt Miller earned Freshman All-America honors, Greg Dowling finsingle game in 2008.

ished his career as First Team All-Southern Conference and among the Georgia Southern career offensive leaders, two other freshmen were candidates for Freshman All-America accolades and two players were nationally-ranked in walks per game. Georgia Southern hitters struck out 360 times in 2006, the third-lowest total dating back the last 18 years. Tidick oversaw another stellar offensive production as the Eagles hit .331 during the 2005 campaign, the fifth-highest team batting average in the nation and third-best in Southern history. Prior to 2005, nine Eagles batted .400 for the season and never during the same year. That changed when James Payne (.407) and Greg Dowling (.400) accomplished the feat. Jason Hurst put together the second and third longest hitting streak in GS history, 25 consecutive from his junior year into senior season, then 24 later in his final year. Not only did Tidick’s players have impressive batting averages, they rarely strike out. Dowling (20th), Brent Stephens (29th) and Payne (100th) ranked among the 2005 national leaders in toughest to strikeout. The Eagles also ranked 11th nationally in slugging percentage, 22nd in doubles, 25th in scoring and 47th in stolen bases. The 139 doubles and 1,077 total bases both ranked at the time as the secondmost in the GSU record book. The 2002 Eagle team was similarly impressive. Georgia Southern completed the campaign ranked in the ‘Top 30’ in the nation in hitting at .321, a mark that at the time ranked third on the Eagles’ season record list. The Eagles were also ranked sixth nationally in stolen bases with
The 2001 squad ranked third in history in at-bats, runs scored, and RBI while also ranking among the top five in hits (fourth), doubles (fourth) and total bases (fifth). On top of that the Eagles finished just 14 stolen bases shy of breaking the school mark. Tidick joined GS during the summer shortly after coach Rodney Hennon’s arrival in 1999 after spending the two previous seasons at Western working on Hennon’s coaching staff. Inheriting just four regulars off Georgia Southern’s offensive lineup from the 1999 season, Tidick began to meticulously work on fostering a new aggressive approach which helped translate into a Southern Conference championship in 2000. The statistical results were equally impressive. The Eagles turned in a batting average over .300 for only the third time in the previous 10 years, hit 60 or more home runs for only the third time in nine years and endured the fewest strikeouts in seven seasons. “Mike is certainly a quality coach and a quality person,” said Hennon. “He’s a big asset to our program, coordinating our recruiting efforts. In addition, he is responsible for our outfield play and hitting, an area where he has a proven track record. We have a good feel and know what to expect out of each other.” In 1998, he helped guide the Catamounts to a 45-15 overall record which equaled the school standard, and a 20-6 SoCon mark. Western Carolina followed up the 1998 season with a 36-23-1 mark, boasting to have the SoCon’s top offensive squad with league bests in average (.328), on-base percentage (.523), runs (502), hits (684), home runs (82), and runs batted in (445). Prior to his move to Cullowhee, Tidick spent the 1997 season as an assistant coach at Elon after serving in a similar capacity at Coastal Carolina in 1996. Tidick first arrived at Western Carolina in 1989 after an illustrious career at Union-Endicott (N.Y.) High School. After sitting out all of WCU’s 1990 campaign following surgery, he turned in the first of four consecutive .300-plus hitting seasons when he batted .302 his rookie season. As the Catamounts’ everyday centerfielder in 1992, he was named Second Team All-Southern Conference hitting .328 and stealing 21 bases while helping WCU advance all the way to the NCAA South II Regional title game. He led Western back to a NCAA Regional (South I) as a junior, earning SoCon All-Tournament Team honors in 1993 after his average jumped to .352 with 19 doubles and 13 home runs. Tidick topped off an outstanding collegiate career in ‘94 as he was named SoCon ‘Player of the Year’ by batting .376 with 15 home runs, 17 doubles, 58 RBI and 20 stolen bases. In addition, he played errorless defense as the Catamounts received an at-large bid to the NCAA East Regional.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY GEORGIA SOUTHERN
UNIVERSITY
THIS IS GEORGIA SOUTHERN.... Georgia Southern University’s tradition spans more than a century. Among the classic red brick buildings and ancient oaks that line the campus is a University geared towards equipping its students with the knowledge and skills they will need in a very modern and rapidly changing global society. Today, Georgia Southern provides a unique educational experience where students are able to take advantage of all of the benefits of a large university without sacrificing the personal touches of a smaller college. TRADITION LIVES HERE When you drive through the main campus entrance, you are following a path more than 100 years old. Founded in 1906, Georgia Southern’s now sprawling nearly 700-acre campus began as three red brick buildings with traditional Southern columns surrounding a vast park-like lawn known as Sweetheart Circle. As they did more than a century ago, students still flock to Sweetheart Circle to relax in the sun, spend time with friends, or catch up on their studies. Tradition lives at Georgia Southern and it is woven into the very foundation of the University. In the fall, the traditional Homecoming Parade ends at historic Sweetheart Circle making for a memorable parade for students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community. Football players still arrive at home games in the same school buses used when the football program was re-started by the late legendary coach Erk Russell. And in May when the moment comes for students to become alumni, Freedom, the University’s bald eagle, flies over the graduates. The Statesboro summer is the perfect backdrop for the President’s 4646
annual watermelon cutting. The traditions of this classic University are the kind of moments that make the Georgia Southern experience one students cherish for a lifetime. LARGE SCALE Georgia Southern University’s commitment to educational excellence is lauded by some of the most prestigious publications in the country this year. Both Forbes and U.S. News and World Report consistently recognize Georgia Southern as one of America’s Best Colleges. The University was also named as one of America’s Best Graduate Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Kiplinger’s Personal Finance named Georgia Southern as one of its “Top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges” and The Princeton Review listed the University’s Master of Business Administration and Master of Accounting degree programs among the “Best 301 Business Schools” in the nation. The University’s growth and achievement has led to its being designated as a Carnegie/ Doctoral Research University. This designation further elevates the University as an institution recognized for excellence. Another milestone for the University is the launch of its first Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Logistics/Supply Chain Management. University System of Georgia institutions offer more than 180 doctoral programs, but Georgia Southern is the only university to offer this degree through the College of Business Administration. The American Geological Institute named the University’s Department of Geology and Geography as one of the top 100 Geoscience Programs in the country and the Engineering Technology

program ranked 28th in the nation for total graduates and 18th for enrollment in its programs by the American Society for Engineering Education. The College of Information Technology, is one of only 10 universities in the world to teach the cutting-edge technology of virtualization on VM software. Recently, the College was selected by VMware as the first International VMware IT Academy Center, and it is one of only a select few in the country to offer SAP certification as part of its degree program. This means students will graduate with cutting-edge knowledge and a competitive advantage the vast majority of Information Technology graduates—and even many professionals—do not have, saving their employers thousands of dollars in training costs. The College also received distinctive honors when its Game Design Program was selected by The Princeton Review as one of the top 50 programs in the United States and Canada from a field of more than 500. Georgia Southern University’s College of Education claims nu-
merous Georgia Teachers of the Year and recently one of its alumni was named the Siemens National AP Teacher of the Year. The College also obtained accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) in the three specialty areas of community counseling, school counseling and student affairs. Georgia Southern was the first institution in Georgia to be CACREP accredited in the area of student affairs, and is the only program in the region to achieve accreditation in student affairs, community counseling and school counseling. Georgia Southern’s College of Education has become respected for its focus on education administration and leadership. Faculty members from the biology department in the Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology were awarded a $2.3 million National Science Foundation grant to promote the teaching of molecular biology to students in Georgia’s schools. Faculty, staff and students are also working on projects involving bio-fuels and wind energy. The past 10 years have marked the single largest period of growth in the University’s history. A record number of students now attend Georgia Southern, and record numbers of outstanding students are applying to join their ranks. More than 12,000 people applied to Georgia Southern for the Fall 2010 semester, and final enrollment numbers are expected to set a new record with more than 20,000 students attending classes this fall. SMALL FEEL While progress brings change, one thing that has not changed is Georgia Southern’s commitment to its students. For decades, the University’s hallmark has been its dedication to remaining an institution centered on its students. The University has a low student/ teacher ratio, and faculty members often work with students one-onone. At Georgia Southern, our students appreciate learning in Southern Conference Championships: 1993, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009
small groups where professors know their names. In addition, many undergraduate students enjoy having the opportunity to work on research projects led by faculty members. This year, Dr. Charles Patterson was named the first Vice-President of Research to lead the University’s Research and Service Foundation, an integral part of the educational community that encourages partnerships with industries and other institutions. The introduction of the new Public Health Core Research Lab is the latest research and education advancement available to University students. The facility is dedicated to analyzing soil, air and water samples from the surrounding area in an effort find and remove contaminants, and it will also be counted as one of a dozen of its kind in the state to feature a BioSafety Level 3 (BSL3) lab. Georgia Southern is well on its way to becoming a regional center for renewable energy sciences with the establishment of the Renewable Energy Laboratory. Research teams composed of faculty and students within the departments of chemistry, engineering and biology continually explore and identify resources of energy for commercial and residential use that will benefit the region by reducing the state’s dependence on foreign petroleum sources. JCB, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of heavy equipment, has partnered with the University by donating a Dieselmax engine in order to research biodiesel and other biofuels combustion emissions. Georgia Southern is poised to further the expansion of research and educational missions well into the future with the exploration of coastal plain science, computational science and green construction through the Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology. Even with more than 19,000 students at the University, students feel at home seeing familiar faces when walking through campus. Georgia Southern was the recipient of the University System of Georgia Award, specifically hon 4747

oring the Pedestrium, a beautiful walkway that serves as the main artery through campus. This award represents the state’s top honor for University facility design and planning for the long-term commitment to campus. Additionally, both students and parents appreciate the classic mainstreet community of Statesboro that features numerous amenities, shopping and dining options. EDUCATION FOR A LIFETIME Whether a student is a new high school graduate or a professional deciding to return to the University for an advanced or online degree, Georgia Southern has numerous programs and options for students in every stage of life. The University’s College of Graduate Studies is seeing unprecedented growth in its programs. An increasing number of students are also opting for online classes. During the spring 2010 commencement ceremony, more than 200 graduates received online degrees—including several that made their first-ever trip to campus to receive their diploma. The University’s Coastal Georgia Center in Savannah takes the Georgia Southern classroom experience to students outside of Statesboro. The College of Business Administration also offers the Georgia WebMBA program that allows professionals to earn their master’s without leaving home. BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Imagine a college residence hall 4848
with suite and apartment-style living, a shopping area and a food court. That on-campus living experience became reality at Georgia Southern with the opening of Centennial Place. As home to 1,001 students, Centennial Place is setting a new standard in on-campus living. Several key facilities at the University have celebrated expansions and renovations. A fouryear, $22.75 million dollar project to expand and renovate the Zach S. Henderson Library tripled the size of the facility. Today it provides students and faculty with a state-of-the-art facility for research and study. The $7.8 million dollar renovation and extension of the Foy Building added 3,599 square feet of space. Foy’s renovation includes a major enhancement to the outstanding Carol A. Carter Recital Hall. The Wetland Preserve at Georgia Southern University’s Center for Wildlife Education and the Lamar Q Ball, Jr. Raptor Center opened to the public last year. The 12-acre addition includes a small pond and capture basin that houses a beaver lodge, a cypress pond that will be home to a variety of wading birds like herons and egrets, and a waterfowl pond. The 17-acre center is one of only a select few in the nation to be located in the heart of a major university campus. REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD Georgia Southern students have more opportunity than ever to
study alongside others from countries all over the world. Both the number of students coming to Georgia Southern from other countries and Georgia Southern students studying abroad has grown steadily over the last decade. This year, students participated in the first study abroad experience in the African country of Botswana, addressing global issues such as poverty and environmental sustainability while working alongside the non-profit organization Somarelang Tikologo. However, the international experience is not limited to study, and Georgia Southern students volunteered nearly 16,000 hours of service to both the community and abroad. During spring break 2010, more than 100 students traveled the world volunteering, working at an orphanage for medically frail children and assisting with construction projects in Honduras and also establishing a library in the Bahamas. Closer to home, students Volunteer in the Bulloch County area through Greek organizations, service clubs, and the Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement. Georgia Southern students learn that service to others is always time well spent. The University works to better the community every day. The College of Health and Human Sciences is partnering with the Bulloch County Health Department to curb childhood obesity. Preventing disease and bettering the quality of life for people at risk of serious health problems is a focus of the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health. And the psychology department in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences has expanded the services at its psychology clinic to include children. Every day someone, somewhere in the world is touched by the work of a Georgia Southern student, alumni, staff, or faculty member— making the reach of this University truly global.

IRON WORKS STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING Away from the playing fields, the cameras, and the excitement exists Iron Works, the heart of GSU’s strength and conditioning for all 15 intercollegiate teams. There, athletes enhance their physical capabilities through the training leadership of certified coaches, and the ending results are usually displayed in the win column. Built in 1989, the recent Iron Works renovation included the addition of offices and the total rehab of the entrance and interior. Nearly $50,000 worth of new weight equipment including multi-squat racks, two Olympic platforms complete with bumpers plates and bars, free weights, hammer machines and body weight scale were added. The biggest addition is a Mondo surface track 9x60 feet running down the middle of Iron Works for warm-up and agility work. Already at 5,400 square feet, the addition of nearly 1,000 square feet – including storage areas and modernized reception area previously not available – makes Iron Works a premier workout facility. Georgia Southern Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tom Melton, who re-joined the GSU staff with the dual title of assistant athletics director/athletic performance in the spring of 2004, provides a direct strength training leadership role to the Eagle football program while coordinating and supervising off-season and inseason applications for the remaining 14 GSU teams. Thanks to donations received from former Georgia Southern football athletes, Iron Works is also home to two Vertimax Jump Trainers.

ADMINISTRATION DR. BROOKS A. KEEL
SAM BAKER
PRESIDENT
Brooks A. Keel, Ph.D. began his tenure as the 12th President of Georgia Southern University on January 4, 2010. The Augusta, Ga. native, a self-described product of the education system of Georgia, returns to his home state to lead Georgia Southern University with significant experience in the top ranks of academia, research, and economic development. Prior to his arrival at Georgia Southern this past year, Keel served as the Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development, and professor of Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge since 2006. From 2002 to 2006, he was a professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences and associate Vice President for Research at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL. Keel’s professional career began in 1985 at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, where he served in a variety of positions including the Daniel K. Roberts Distinguished Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (1995-2001), President of the Women’s Research Institute (1993-2001), and Director of Reproductive Medicine Laboratories (1994-2002). Since joining Georgia Southern, Keel has been focused on expanding undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities whether through research, creative or community-based educational experiences. In addition, he has been working to increase Georgia Southern’s research and economic development opportunities. The University is already beginning to attract interest through its Renewable Energy Lab and Public Health Core Research Lab. Keel earned his Ph.D. in reproductive endocrinology from the Medical College of Georgia in 1982 and a Bachelor of Science in biology and chemistry from Augusta College (now Augusta State University) in 1978. He has completed postdoctoral work at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine, Vermillion. He is a member of the Society for the Study of Reproduction, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, among others. Keel has served on numerous boards related to his discipline, including the American Board of Bioanalysis, the American Association of Bioanalysts Board of Registry, the Oak Ridge Associated Universities, the Southeastern Universities Research Association and the Executive Committee of the Council on Research Policy and Graduate Education of APLU. Keel is married to Dr. Tammie Schalue, an accomplished scientist and scholar. Dr. Schalue currently serves as the director of laboratories at the Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine and the associate administrator for the American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB). Both are certified SCUBA diving instructors.
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Building a strong future for the Georgia Southern sports programs in his 15 years as Director of Athletics, Sam Baker has positioned the Eagles for success with new or renovated facilities, a foundation of financial stability and decisions to ensure the best for the student-athlete. An integral component of this ideology is the commitment to “Rings and Diplomas,” as the Athletics Department provides the opportunity for every Georgia Southern student-athlete to win a championship ring and earn a diploma. The emphasis on the “student” in student-athlete is one trademark of the Georgia Southern athletics program as Baker promotes the initiative and continued support for excellence in the classroom. Following the spring semester 2010, 156 student-athletes posted grade point averages of 3.0 or better with all 15 sports teams represented on the list. All 15 also had members of their teams on the Dean’s List for GPAs of 3.5 to 3.99 and 26 student-athletes achieved perfect 4.0 grade point averages for the semester. Numerous student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors with six named to the prestigious Academic AllAmerica list. The most recent honoree was Eagle softball player Nina Iduate, who was voted to the national first team in June 2010. Continuing to add to the lengthy list of accomplishments for the program, the Athletics Department has now captured 27 Southern Conference championships and made 23 appearances in NCAA postseason play. The most acclaimed is the Eagle Football program, accounting for seven SoCon titles, eight NCAA playoff appearances (Division I FCS) and back-to-back NCAA FCS titles in 1999 and 2000, two of the nation’s-best six FCS national championships, during the Baker tenure. A primary focus of Baker’s efforts has been facility improvements for fans and student-athletes. The second phase of the softball stadium was completed in 2008 with the construction of stadium seating, team locker rooms and public rest rooms. Aesthetic changes to the north concourse at Paulson Stadium in summer 2008 matched the improvements made the previous season on the south side. The Gene Bishop Field House opened in the fall 2006, providing the home and visiting team with new locker rooms and a social meeting place upstairs for Athletic Foundation members. In the same time period, the Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center was completed, providing Eagle Golf with one of the top all-around practice facilities the nation. Building and renovations were completed for several projects including the renovation of J.I. Clements Baseball Stadium, the construction of a Track/Soccer Stadium, renovation and expansion of Iron Works (Georgia Southern’s athletic performance center) and Men’s Basketball Locker Room (donated by Michael and Katrina Curry). In addition, other team locker rooms, sports medicine treatment center, equipment room, and coaches’ offices in Hanner Fieldhouse have undergone renovation and upgrades. Baker also served as the driving force behind the Dan J. Parrish, Sr., Football Building, the Herring Pavilion, football practice field renovation and the Troy Cowart Building (home to the Athletic Foundation and Athletics Ticket Office). As a leader in his profession, Baker has been active in his service to the Southern Conference and the NCAA. From May 2000 to May 2002, he served as chair of the SoCon Athletics Directors Association. As Georgia Southern Athletics Director, he served as a member of the NCAA Special Events, Olympic Liaison and Division I Football Issues Committees. In June 2009, he was honored with recognition as the NACDA Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year for the Football Championship Subdivision’s Southeast Region. Baker, a native of Front Royal, Virginia, joined the Georgia Southern management team after five years as Director of the College Football Marketing Corporation, a subsidiary of the College Football Association (CFA). Baker’s responsibilities with the CFA included securing title sponsorship for and administration of its “Promise of Tomorrow” scholarship program. A four-year agreement with Hitachi awarded $1.3 million in scholarships to aid individuals involved in intercollegiate football with the means to pursue careers in the field of education. From 1986-90, he was associate athletic director for financial development at Vanderbilt, where he oversaw the National Commodore Club. In the two years before moving to Nashville, Baker was associate athletic director for external affairs at the University of Oregon, the institution where he served as director of athletic marketing from January 1983 to May 1984. Baker entered the field of intercollegiate athletics at the College of William & Mary, where he spent seven years (1976-82) as director of athletic promotions. Baker holds a 1976 master’s degree in Sports Administration from Ohio University and a 1974 B. A. in Communication Arts from James Madison University. He and his wife of 34 years, Ann, are the parents of three children: Zeb, Elizabeth Ann and Josie.

David Richardson (Left) and Ty Wright (Above) made history in 2008, both hitting for the cycle in four consecutive innings. During game one of the College of Charleston series (March 28th) Richardson hit a single in the 4th, homered in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and tripled in the 7th inning. In the Wofford finale (April 27th) Wright led off the game with a single. He hit a 2-run homer in the 2nd, RBI triple in the 3rd and capped it with a 2-run double in the 4th. It is believed to be the only time in NCAA Division I history that two players from the same team hit for the cycle in consecutive innings. JIM MORRISON

Scott Ryder earned his 11th win throwing four innings of perfect relief. Starter Joey Hamilton allowed nine hits, walked one and struck out four. The Eagles jumped out to a 2-0 lead but defending national champion Wichita State tied the game in the bottom of the ninth. All-American Todd Greene cut down the Shockers’ winning run at home plate by nailing Jim Audley for the second out. The attendance was 6,481 which ranked as the largest crowd for a college game in the state of Kansas. Georgia Southern 13, South Alabama 4 Peter Bouma won his 10th game, going the distance. He allowed six hits, three walks and fanned six. The Eagles erupted for six runs in the third inning. Rob Fitzpatrick hit a 3-run homer that frame. Every starter hit safely as the Eagles pounded out 14 hits.

and squeeze bunt. Joey Hamilton won his 17th game 2.2 innings of hitless relief. Georgia Southern 6, South Alabama 5 Rob Fitzpatrick hit a fifth inning grand slam while Joey Hamilton pitched 5.2 innings of relief to pick up his nation-leading 18th win. South Alabama tied the game at 5-all in the fifth inning.Mike Miller scored the game-winning run in the sixth inning. 1990 College World Series at Omaha, NE Stanford 5, Georgia Southern 4 (10 inn.) Top-seeded Stanford survived an upset bid, defeating the Eagles. Rob Fitzpatrick’s sixth-inning blast, which a television replay showed cleared the left centerfield fence, was ruled a double instead of a 2-run homer. The Eagles took a 4-3 lead in the top of the 10th on a Cardinal throwing error. However, an Eagle error on a potential double play ball led to runners at first and second. Stanford scored one run on a sacrifice fly then the game-winner on a RBI single. The teams combined for 10 errors. Mississippi State 15, Georgia Southern 1 The Bulldogs plated 11 runs in the first inning, then cruised to a win that eliminated the Eagles. MSU scored those runs off nine hits and three Eagle errors. MSU sent 17 batters to the plate and broke College World Series record for most runs scored in the first inning and tied a CWS mark for most runs in an inning.
