ERV HUETHER FIELD

ollowing six years of playing off-campus, Jackrabbit baseball returns to it this spring at the new Erv Huether Field. Located in the northeast corner of the South Dakota State athletic facilities, the new Erv Huether Field is the re-creation of what provided one of the best home-field advantages in all of Division II baseball for over 40 years. SDSU’s previous oncampus facility, which Erv Huether eventually beared the name of Huether, was the home of Jackrabbit baseball through 2001. As part of the campus master plan, the field was razed following the 2001 season. Home games were played at Bob Shelden Field, a municipal facility that also hosts Brookings high school and American Legion games. THE ORIGINAL The original Huether Field’s seeds were planted, literally, in the spring of 1955. Rather than rush the field’s completion, the field was seeded and given a year to grow before any other field work was done. The rest of the facility was completed the following summer, and on Saturday, April 27, 1957, the nameless field held its first Jackrabbit game, with SDSU taking on Nebraska-Omaha. When the field was first used, it was as far north and east as you could travel inside the city of Brookings. Soon Coughlin-Alumni Stadium would be built, housing football since 1962, and then the Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center was constructed, hosting events such as basketball, wrestling and volleyball since 1973. Erv Huether Field, which it was christened in the spring of 1974, ended up resting just a few feet north of the HPER Center. The seating was limited, minus a few movable bleachers, and the press box hung from

The new Erv Huether Field will begin hosting SDSU baseball this spring. Permanent seating, including a press box, is in the plans, with construction scheduled to be completed by 2009. the side of the nearby building. Baseball fans came out in droves, and the cozy atmosphere helped the Jackrabbits become a power on the Division II baseball circuit. SDSU made nine postseason trips, hosted North Central Conference tournaments four times (1985, 1987, 1989 and 1993) and played host to three NCAA Regionals, in 1975, 1984 and 1993. The last game ever played at the first Huether Field came on May 7, 2001, when the Jacks swept a doubleheader from Northern Colorado. SDSU won the field’s final game over the Bears 14-6. Overall, the Jackrabbits compiled a record of 355-116-1 during the 44 years of playing at Huether Field. THE NEW & IMPROVED When South Dakota State University made the decision to transition to Division I athletics, one of its primary needs was a new baseball facility. Bob Shelden Field, which housed the Jacks for six seasons, lacked many of the necessities of a Division I park. Thus, head coach Reggie Christiansen joined members of the Jackrabbit athletic program by spearheading a campaign to raise funds for a new on-campus facility.

From 1958 to 2001, the original Erv Huether Field played host to over 500 SDSU baseball games. The Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center, including Frost Arena, is the building on the left.

As the funds were gathered, groundwork began on the new field in the spring of 2006. The walls were constructed and painted this past fall, batting cages were installed, and dugouts are being finished for the upcoming season. While the field itself is almost complete, the amenities are a work in progress. A 500-seat grandstand is in the works, that will feature storage facilities underneath, and a press box facility at the top. ERV HUETHER Huether became the third head coach in SDSU baseball history in 1950, the program’s fourth year of existence. Over the next 34 years, he amassed an overall record of 352-376-2. He led SDSU to six North Central Conference championships, and a 1973 berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Huether also spent 22 years as an assistant football coach at South Dakota State. Under the tutelage of Huether, four Jackrabbits – Ed Maras, Jim Langer, Dean Krogman and Dave Manke – earned AllAmerican recognition. In addition to All-Americans, three players coached by Huether were drafted: Dick Barnes, Wade Adamson and Maras. Bob Ehrke and Dave Mydland also played in the minors as free agent signees. The highest honor ever bestowed upon Huether came following his retirement in 1984, when he was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in Louisville, Ky. Twice Huether was named district coach of the year, in 1966 and 1969, and in 1975 he earned South Dakota college coach of the year honors. Before his coaching days, the Hand County native starred in football and basketball at Wessington Springs High School, then lettered in football and on the track for Yankton College. He even earned a tryout with the Boston Red Sox following college, but did not sign.

MEDIA INFORMATION

JACKRABBIT BASEBALL RADIO NETWORK Jackrabbit baseball this spring will be covered like never before, with a three-station network that spans the entire state. In its second year of existence, the Jackrabbit Baseball Radio Network will provide coverage of 34 games to nearly two million people in six different states, including all of South Dakota. The flagship station will again be KJJQ-AM in Brookings. Known to listeners as Radio 910, its signal is available to much of the eastern third of South Dakota, plus a large section of Minnesota and parts of Iowa and Nebraska. Pierre’s KCCR-AM 1240 will also be a part

of the network, picking up where Radio 910’s coverage leaves off and covering the central portion of the state. Every broadcast is also available via the Jackrabbit Extra, a brand-new subscription service this year on the official SDSU athletics website. The Jackrabbit Extra may be expanded to include video of all baseball home games on a delay basis, to be made available within 24 hours of the event. For more information, or to subscribe to the Jackrabbit Extra, visit www.GoJacks.com. Each broadcast features a 15-minute pregame show prior to first pitch, and a post-game show that includes interviews with head coach Reggie Christiansen and Jackrabbit players. Returning for his third season of covering Jackrabbit baseball is play-by-play man Tyler Merriam. Merriam, who will also cover most Jackrabbit softball games, has been broadcasting since he was in high school. The 22-year-old Pierre native has covered Pierre high school basketball and football in addition to Pierre Post 8 American Legion baseball. Once in Brookings, Merriam spent

two seasons as the voice of Sioux Valley High School basketball and football games in nearby Volga. He has contributed to SDSU football and basketball broadcasts on WNAX, is a member of the Brookings High School Tyler Merriam football broadcast crew, and covers select Brookings boys’ basketball games as well. Previously a student, Merriam is a sports information assistant at SDSU. He will call over 50 Jackrabbit games this year, covering numerous softball games as well as being the voice of SDSU baseball. This past year, Merriam became a producer and on-air host for the Department of Journalism & Mass Communication’s projects, which include video content for the Jakcrabbit Extra in addition to television shows. He hosted The John Stiegelmeier Show, The Scott Nagy Show and The Aaron Johnston Show, while also serving as a host of several taped pre-game segments with student-athletes or coaches.

SDSU

THIS IS SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY With a record enrollment of 11,706 students in the fall of 2007, South Dakota State University is the state’s largest institution of higher education. EARLY HISTORY Located in Brookings, SDSU was authorized in 1881 by the Territorial Legislative Assembly and serves as the state’s land-grant instution. Territorial Council member John O’Brien Scobey, failing to obtain the penitentiary for Brookings, managed to secure Dakota Agricultural College for his city. Although allocations fell short of the actual cost, the school was able to open in the fall of 1884 because the president, George Lilley, was willing to advance $500 — onethird of his salary — to finish three rooms in the new Central Building. “Old Central” was soon joined by South (1885) and North (1887), forming the nucleus of campus for a decade and a half. During the first year of operation, only preparatory classes were held. College classes started in 1885 with five teachers, 17 freshman and 61 preparatory students. Growth was slow and erratic for many years, but by the turn of the 20th century there were 242 students. By 1990, SDSU had an enrollment of more than 9,000 students. Nearly 50,000 degrees have been granted since the college was chartered in 1881. COLLEGES ESTABLISHED The structure of the college became more complex as enrollments increased. The first nine chairs of instruction established in 1884 included agriculture, science, mathematics, English, modern languages, military tactics, veterinary science, practical business, political and domestic economy, and music. By 1907, the year the name of the institution was changed to South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, there were 22 departments on campus. Reorganization into the five divisions, which

formed the basis for the designation of colleges, was completed under President Charles W. Pugsley in 1923. In 1964, when “State College” was renamed South Dakota State University, there were six colleges; today, degrees are offered through eight: • Agricultural and Biological Sciences • Arts and Science • Education and Counseling • Engineering • Family and Consumer Sciences • General Registration • Nursing • Pharmacy SDSU also offers degree programs through the Sioux Falls Center for Public Higher Education (USDSU). Evening, RDTN, Internet and off-campus courses are also available. Those classies are coordinated through the Office of Academic Affairs and Outreach. SDSU BY THE NUMBERS In its 125-year history, South Dakota State has grown from a campus of 80 acres in 1881 to a 271-acre campus with facilities worth more than $220 million. The university owns or leases another 15,000 acres for research throughout the state. More than 200 majors, minors and options are available at SDSU with more than 2,500 different course offerings. Master’s degrees are offered in more than 30 areas and doctorates are available in eight different fields. SDSU is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and numerous departments on campus have earned accreditation from various agencies. AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH The university reaches all corners of the state through the Cooperative Extension Service and the Agricultural Experiment Station, offering service seeking to improve

Located on the southwest corner of the SDSU campus, the Coolidge-Sylvan Theatre is an outdoor ampitheatre that has hosted concerts, graduations and inaugurations of university presidents since President Calvin Coolidge dedicated it in September, 1927.

The Coughlin Campanile is one of SDSU’s most recognizable landmarks the quality of rural life. Also at SDSU are the Center for Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship; Engineering Experiment Station, Office of Remote Sensing; Water Resources Institute; Engineering and Environmental Research Center; Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory; and Northern Grain Insect Research Laboratory. These units help strengthen the university’s growing commitment to research and support of state and local economic development efforts. The Northern Great Plains Biostress Laboratory, which was dedicated in 1993, houses scientists who focus on research aimed at developing new technologies to protect crops and livestock. SDSU also has been selected as one of five universities to serve as a regional center for the Sun Grant Initiative. The Sun Grant Initiative is a concept to solve America’s energy needs and revitalize rural communities with LandGrant university research, education and Extension programs on renewable energy and bio-based non-food industries. Supplementing classroom instruction are the Harding Distinguished Lecture Series, the F.O. Butler Lectures, the Lusk Lecture and the Amdahl, Schultz-Werth and Griffiths endowments. Students also have the opportunity to choose from more than 200 clubs and organizations active on campus. MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS The educational opportunities don’t end in the classroom or laboratory as South Dakota State University is home to several facilities, including museums and gardens, which highlight South Dakota history and heritage.

THIS IS SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY

“World famous” SDSU ice cream is served daily at the SDSU Dairy Bar, located in the Dairy Microbiology building. Featuring over 80 flavors of ice cream and sherbets, the SDSU Dairy Bar has been in business for over 100 The South Dakota Art Museum, which recently completed an expansion, was first envisioned by the South Dakota Federation of Women’s Clubs in 1949, and dedicated in 1970. The museum's collections include early Sioux Indian tribal art, the famed Harvey Dunn paintings of pioneer life and the exclusive Vera Way Marghab linens. The State Agricultural Heritage Museum transformed the former Stock Judging Pavilion into a home for exhibits that record and preserve the agrarian heritage of South Dakota. The 70-acre McCrory Gardens and South Dakota Arboretum, located south and east of campus, provide a beautiful setting for area residents and tourists to enjoy a stroll through the radiant colors and fragrances of one of the top 10 small ornamental gardens in the nation. It is also recognized as an All-American Display Garden, one of only 13 in the nation. In 1993 McCrory Gardens was designated an All-American Judging Garden to conduct research on annual flowers. Since 1985, private contributions have made many new gardens possible including the Rose, Rock, Centennial Prairie, Iris, True Lily, Mum, Native Prairie Collection, Oak Tree Memorial Garden, All-Red Specialty Garden, Peony Garden, Shrub Rose Collection, and Children’s Maze. In August 1994, dedication ceremonies were held for the Mickelson Grove Memorial in honor of former governor and Brookings resident George Mickelson. In 1982, the area north of the formal garden was dedicated to the planting and testing of ornamental trees and shrubs. The 45-acre site was designated the South Dakota State Arboretum in 1988. The arboretum’s purpose is to test woody plants needed to protect agricultural fields and livestock from the region’s harsh environment, to provide hardy trees to shade our towns and cities, and to test ornamental shrubs for both durability and beauty.

The arboretum and gardens are managed by the SDSU Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape and Parks Department. More gardens and tree and shrub collections are being developed. Perhaps South Dakota State’s most recognizable landmark is the 165-foot Coughlin Campanile, the state’s largest chimes tower. A climb of 179 steps leads to a panoramic view of the city. The statuesque structure on the west end of campus was a $65,000 gift from 1909 engineering graduate Charles Coughlin, who later went on to become head of the Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Coughlin laid the campanile’s cornerstone on June 10, 1929. Since then, its chimes have called students to classes with the famous Westminster peals. An alumni-sponsored project to restore the campanile was completed in the summer of 2001. Adjacent to the campanile, Coolidge-Sylvan Theatre has provided a restful, green haven for students since its dedication by President Calvin Coolidge in September 1927. Over the years the outdoor amphiteater has been the site of concerts, graduations and inaugurations for university presidents. Woodbine Cottage, the home of the university president, is a charming example of Queen Anne architecture. Built in 1887 by South Dakota Agricultural College’s second president, Dr. Lewis McLouth, the home is crowned by multiple roof lines. The house also has served as a women’s dormitory, music hall and infirmary. STATE’S LARGEST LIBRARY The Hilton M. Briggs Library was opened

Located in the center of campus, DuPuy Military Hall honors SDSU students who have served in the armed forces, including Congressional Medal of Honor recipients Capt. Willibald Bianchi and Col. Leo Thorsness. The park was dedicated in 2000. in 1977 and joined South Dakota’s statewide automated library network in 1988. Through the library, users have access to holdings from all 10 of the state’s libraries, including official documents and more than one million other holdings at Briggs. THE BROOKINGS COMMUNITY Today, Brookings is a growing community of about 18,500 people. Located 20 miles west of the Minnesota border and 50 miles north of Sioux Falls in east-central South Dakota, Brookings is situated at the intersection of U.S. Highway 14 and Interstate 29. The community also is home to several recognizable companies including Rainbow Play Systems, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M), Larson Manufacturing, and Daktronics, a leading manufacturer of scoreboards and display systems worldwide.

BEHIND THE NICKNAME: WHY THE JACKRABBITS? There are two theories as to how and why the Jackrabbit nickname evolved. The most common belief is that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a story and cartoon sketch that appeared in a Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football game between the University of Minnesota and South Dakota State College, as the university was then known. A reporter for the newspaper, knowing of the preponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings area, was believed to have written that the SDSC team was as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believe that the school adopted the Jackrabbits as its official nickname from that beginning. The other theory about the origin of the nickname is given in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook. There is a poem in the 1907 yearbook that puts forth the idea that the yearbook is called The Jackrabbit because a group of

juniors wished to immortalize themselves by changing the name of the yearbook. Athletic teams followed suit, adopting the nickname. Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname, school athletic teams were known as the Barn Yard Cadets as SDSU was known as South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907.

HEAD COACH REGGIE CHRISTIANSEN To say that Reggie Christiansen has dramatically changed the landscape of baseball at South Dakota State University would be an understatement. The proof – the year before Christiansen arrived, SDSU won 12 games at the Division II level. Last season, the Jacks won the third most games in school history, earning Christiansen Independent Coach of the Year honors. Christiansen has engineered one of the more remarkable turnarounds in the nation during his three seasons. His teams have set numerous school records, and garnered quite a reputation around the region. SDSU earned notoriety last February for playing Kansas in a three-game series in the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn. – in the middle of the night. Due to inclement weather both places, the teams finally found a safe haven under the dome, but there were already games scheduled all day. So the teams had to play a 1:30 a.m. doubleheader one day, followed by a 3:30 a.m. game the next. That willingness to play anyone anywhere, and literally at anytime, has helped Christiansen and the Jacks become recognized by coaches, players and writers as a team to watch out for. The Jacks notched wins in 11 states last season, ranging from California to Kentucky and Utah to North Dakota. Taking on any and all comers, SDSU went 34-19, despite only play four home games, winning the Division I Independent Tournament title in May. During the 2007 season, SDSU defeated every team it played more than twice, and won seven different weekend series. In fact, the Jacks were not swept in a series all season, despite playing only one in their home ballpark. Last season’s success was only the latest in a string of seasons that showed steady progress the Jackrabbits have made since Christiansen took over the reins. In his first season, 2005, it took Christiansen just 14 games to notch his first landmark victory – a 13-7 defeat of NCAA Tournament qualifier Notre Dame. Following a 17-win campaign in ’05, the Jacks improved to 23 wins in 2006. SDSU started the year just 2-10, but rattled off win streaks of five and seven games, ending the year only six games under .500. Christiansen’s 2007 team reshaped the SDSU record books. The squad set records for runs scored (395), hits (573), doubles (99), total bases (891), runs batted in (357), and atbats (1,824). In addition, the 2007 team fielded .962, just one percentage point off the school mark. The effect Christiansen has had during his

His slugging percentage has risen 78 points, and following a one-homer freshman season, he’s taken 13 balls deep the past two seasons. • Tony Martin’s batting average rose 124 points last season, and the catcher went from a twohomer, 11-RBI freshman campaign, to nine homers and 50 RBIs as a sophomore. • Newcomer Craig Parry stepped into the program last year and excelled in Christiansen’s system. The left-hander hit .329 with 14 doubles and seven homers, slugging .594. • Jake Rogers made great strides in his two seasons at SDSU, which led to the shortstop’s 29th round selection in last summer’s MLB first-year player’s draft by the Washington Nationals. From a team standpoint, Christiansen’s squads have nearly every mark in school history. • The 2006 Jackrabbits produced 32 triples, which shattered the previous school mark of 22. In fact, the per game average of 0.62 tied Arizona and Alcorn State for best in the nation. However, since SDSU was in the transition period, its stats did not officially count in NCAA rankings. • His 2005 teams set school marks for hit by pitches (70) and sacrifices (74) • The 2006 team turned 45 double plays, second most in school history. That squad also ended with a .960 fielding percentage, tied for third-best in the SDSU annals. • Last year’s team set the school records for at bats, runs scored, hits, doubles, home runs, RBIs and total bases.

2008 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

HEAD COACH REGGIE CHRISTIANSEN three years is even more impressive when one judges the differences in numbers. During the course of his tenure at SDSU, Christiansen has helped the Jacks to an extra 1.4 runs/game. Also during his three years, SDSU’s team batting average has risen 37 points, slugging percentage has improved by 110 points, and fielding percentage has gone up 15 points. Before coming to SDSU, Christiansen served as an assistant for two years at the University of Kansas. Serving as first base coach, he oversaw the outfielders and assisted with the offense. Under his direction, Kansas broke several school records and was honored by the Big 12 Conference. In 2004, Jayhawk hitters led the Big 12 with a .316 team batting average, the fourth highest in the program's history, while setting a school record with 697 hits. Kansas also shattered the school home run record during the Christiansen era.

If helping players move on to the professional level is the measure of a coach’s ability, Christiansen has helped along quite a number during his short career. Jake Rogers, who played the last two seasons under Christiansen’s tutelage at SDSU, was selected in the 22nd round of last year’s first-year player draft by the Washington Nationals. He started at second base that summer for the Class A Vermont Lake Monsters. In all, five different players he has coached during his short career have been drafted, including one who has seen action in the Majors – Travis Metcalf, who played in 57 games with the Texas Rangers last year. Two other players that Christiansen has coached have been signed as undrafted free agents, totaling seven players signed to professional contracts in the last five years that Christiansen coached. Before coming to South Dakota State,

The Christiansen Family Amber and Reggie, Ryan Ripken (4) and Reese Robinson (2).

Chrisitansen did have one year of head coaching experience. During the 2002 season, Christiansen manned the bench at Menlo College, a Division III program in Atherton, Calif. A graduate of Menlo, he also served as an assistant coach from 1997-99. Christiansen has also been the head coach of Ferndale (Calif.) High School and the Eureka Falcons American Legion squad. Tenures as an assistant coach for three summer teams, the San Mateo (Calif.) Bulldogs, the Humboldt (Calif.) Crabs and the Topeka (Kan.) Capitals, are also on his résumé. A native of Ferndale, Calif., Christiansen earned his master’s degree in health, sport and exercise science from the University of Kansas in the summer of 2004. Christiansen, 32, and his wife, Amber, reside in Brookings. The couple have two sons – Ryan Ripken (4) and Reese Robinson (2).

COACH CHRISTIANSEN SAYS: “Aaron brings energy and enthusiasm, along with a tremendous baseball background, to our staff. He has an uncanny ability of relating to players and I am absolutely thrilled that he is a part of our staff.” The right-hander was a reliever for California Bears of the Pac-10 Conference. In two seasons under head coach David Esquer, he was a valuable member of the Bears bullpen. During his senior campaign, Swick posted a 1.86 ERA, holding opponents to a .194 batting average. Swick’s college career began at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif., where he led his team to a playoff berth as a sophomore. The Gauchos went 35-13 that year, led by Swick’s 9-4 mark. He posted a 3.28 ERA, earning all-Orange Empire Conference honors. His playing career also included two summers with the Southern California Fire of the Western Baseball Association.

itchie Price begins his first season as infield coach for the Jackrabbits after a superb playing career at the University of Kansas. The shortstop set Kansas all-time marks for games played (255), at-bats (1,022), hits (312), runs scored (204), sacrifices (35) and hit by pitches (53). Price’s graduating class owns the most wins of any class in Kansas baseball history. In 2006, Price helped lead the Jayhawks to a Big 12 championship, as Kansas won four straight to win the conference title. After earning an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, Price’s squad went 1-2, defeating Hawaii before being eliminated. Price was an ironman of college baseball, starting 252 consecutive games at short. Although no official records are kept by the NCAA, this is most certainly among the best in college baseball history. He was a four-time all-Big 12 selection, and was named the conference’s best shortstop in 2004 by Baseball America.

KANSAS

COACH CHRISTIANSEN SAYS: “I am very excited to have Ritchie join our staff. He brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and energy to our program. His experience playing in the Big 12 while at Kansas and in the Mets organization will certainly help our players in their development process.” Following his highly successful career with the Jayhawks, Price was an 18th-round draft pick of the New York Mets in Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft. Not only did Price play rookie ball, with the Kingsport Mets of the Appalachian League, but he also saw action in Class A, playing for the Brooklyn Cyclones of the New YorkPenn League. Price is a native of San Luis Obispo, Calif., and comes from a baseball family. His two brothers – Ryne, a senior, and Robby, a sophomore – are also playing at the University of Kansas.

The righty tossed 3.1 innings of perfect relief, allowing the Jackrabbits to

rally for a victory over the Bison. Last season, Angier again made 17 appearances, however this time he did not post a decision. He struck out nine in 14.1 innings of relief, holding opponents to a .220 batting average and just two extra-base hits. For his career, Angier logged 38 innings in a Jackrabbit uniform, lost only one game, and limited the opposition to a batting average of .260. Angier graduated from Eastside Catholic High School in 2003, where he was known as much for his offense as he was his pitching. Angier earned all-conference honors at Eastside Catholic after hitting .406 his senior season. A native of Bellvue, Wash., Angier will work primarily with the outfielders this season, assisting with defensive alignments. He will also serve as the first base coach for the Jacks.

STRENGTH COACH

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING: COACH MOE’S PHILOSOPHY The Jackrabbit strength and conditioning facility, which can be found in the Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center provides each athlete at South Dakota State University with the equipment and assistance necessary to perform at the best of his or her abilities. The facility includes a 5,000-square-foot weight room that includes seven Olympic lifting platforms, six bench presses, five squat racks, six adjustable benches and various machine stations. The mission of South Dakota State University’s strength and conditioning program is to prepare Jackrabbit baseball players to compete at the highest level while developing all the skills necessary to become lifelong champions. The program is centered on ground based, multi-joint, free weight exercises with the goal of improving power, strength, acceleration, speed, agility and injury prevention. By improving these athletic qualities we can improve their hitting power, throwing velocity, defensive range and base running speed. The staff utilizes a variation of Olympic style lifts as well as squats, lunges, step ups, plyometric drills, presses, pulls and medicine ball throws. Power development is also a point of emphasis, accomplished by utilizing explosive lifts as well as compensatory acceleration training and complex training with traditional strength lifts. To prevent injuries, shoulder stability is critical, and the staff focuses on rotator cuff and upper back strength to maintain it. Another way to help prevent injuries is by focusing on standing trunk work. This strengthens the abdominals and improves rotational power along with keeping athletes healthy. During the off-season, players go through a total body workout three times a week. Preseason training sessions occur three or four times week, with total body workouts once or twice a week. Through proper training principles, hard work and dedication, Jackrabbit baseball players are able to reach their full potential.

2008 PREVIEW

hree years ago, when head coach Reggie Christiansen took over the reigns of a 12-36 program just beginning its transition to Division I, being competitive was enough. Not anymore. Last year, the Jackrabbits won 34 games, took the Independent Tournament, and was one of only two teams to beat Missouri Valley champion Creighton in its own park. This year the schedule is much tougher and the Jacks have their share of holes to fill. Six starters do return to the squad, however, along with two starting pitchers and plenty of depth in the bullpen Despite losing the left side of the infield, a top starter and two key cogs out of the bullpen, the Jacks are as deep as they have been during the transition. INFIELD The Jackrabbits return a lot of experience and talent on the infield, but will have to replace two significant losses. Everyday shortstop Jake Rogers starred for two seasons before being drafted by the Washington Nationals, and third baseman Cal Lewis hit 16 home runs, the second most in school history. Those are the biggest holes this Jackrabbit squad must fill. Matt Zabel, who has started 71 games in the infield the past two seasons, will replace Rogers at short. Although he’s mainly been a second baseman during his time at SDSU, his defensive ability should ease his transition to the other side of second base. To fill the hole at third base, the Jacks will turn to Nevada transfer Jesse Ayala. Ayala played two seasons at Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, Ore., before spending a season redshirting at Nevada. While Ayala may not be able to provide the power that Lewis did, his defense and ability to hit for a high average should help make up for that. Senior Korby Mintken, perhaps the best allaround athlete on the Jackrabbits, return to the infield full-time and will occupy second base. Mintken, who played second as a freshman before moving to the outfield, has a chance to set numerous school marks. He already owns the career triples mark with 14. Expect Mintken to be hitting at the top of the Jackrabbit order everyday. The one constant on the infield will be Tyson Fisher, who will spend his third consecutive season at first base. Fisher has hit .339 for his career and been nearly flawless at first, making only six errors in 98 games there. He’ll hit third or fourth as he attempts to continue his offensive success. Junior college transfer Stephen Turner will also be looked upon to hit in the middle of the

order this spring. A transfer who spent the fall at the University of Arizona, Turner will be used primarily as a designated hitter along with spelling Fisher at first. Erik DeJong and Billy Stitz also will provide depth in the infield. DeJong is likely to play first, third or DH at times. Stitz can do a little of everything, and will serve as the third middle infielder along with Mintken and Zabel. OUTFIELD While there are many changes on the dirt, Jackrabbit fans can rest easily, knowing that there will be nothing but familiar faces patrolling the pastures in the outfield. Three seniors – four-year starters Nick Adams and Tim Hanigan, and second-year starter Craig Parry – will start in the outfield, a combination that has combined for more than 300 starts in the SDSU outfield. Center field will again be occupied by Hanigan, who Christiansen calls “one of the best oufielders I’ve ever coached.” His sterling glove work, be it diving catches Coming off a stellar 2007 season, junior Tony Martin will handle the majority of the catching duties for the Jackrabbits again in 2008.

against Minnesota or taking away a home run against North Dakota State, is well-known to Jacks fans. He’s not just a defender, however – Hanigan hit .356 last season with seven doubles, and will serve as a second lead-off man in the ninth spot in the batting order. The left-handed Adams returns to right field, with an arm that is well-known throughout the region. A native of Lenexa, Kan., Adams has gunned down 16 runners the past three seasons. Adams has hit .318 for his career, ending last season at a stellar .345 with 14 doubles and eight homers. A versatile player, Adams could hit second, third, fourth or fifth. When it comes to Parry, the junior college transfer wasted no time in making his presence on the SDSU campus known. Doubling in his first collegiate game, Parry’s left-handed bat provided the Jacks with plenty of power. The Montana native hit .394, doubled 14 times, hit seven homers and drove in 32. Throw in 27 walks for a .453 on-base percentage, and a .594 slugging percentage, and Parry proved to be huge in the middle of the order last season. As opposed to switching between left and designated hitter, he’ll focus strictly on left field this season. Expect to see Parry back in the middle of the order for his senior season. Depth is not an issue for the Jackrabbits, as there are several athletic players who can help out if need be in the outfield. Mintken, who is just as good in left and center as he is at second, will help provide depth, as will Billy Stitz, whose bat will force Christiansen to find a spot for him somewhere. Justin Morar, a senior who has garnered a reputation as being a killer of left-handed arms, will serve the role of fourth outfielder. After redshirting last season, Max Fenske moves from the infield to the outfield, and the talented freshman will also help add depth in the outfield STARTING PITCHING South Dakota State enters its first season in The Summit League with a deep and talented rotation, perhaps the deepest since SDSU began the Division I transition. The Jacks have three experienced starters, all of whom had excellent seasons last year, combined with two junior transfers who will anchor the staff. The weekend staff is pretty much in place, although the order has yet to be determined. Jared Koch features not only electric stuff, but also superb control, and the transfer from North Iowa Area Community College will take the ball every weekend. Southpaw Caleb Thielbar, who excelled in

2008 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2008 PREVIEW the Saturday role last season, will again be looked upon to start weekend series. Thielbar logged 78 innings as a sophomore, going 7-3 with a 4.15 earned run average. Like Koch, Thielbar is known for his control, walking only 32 men in 119 innings during his career. Despite being only 5-foot-9, Robert Butler has stood tall on every mound he’s ever been on, and SDSU is hoping that carries over as a Jackrabbit. Butler was almost unhittable at Casa Roble High School in Orangevale, Calif., then impressed many with a 7-4 season at American River Community College, averaging nearly a strikeout an inning inside one of the better junior college conferences in the nation. Since The Summit League plays four-game series, Mike Robinson will be back in the role of Sunday starter this year. Robinson is coming off a 3-1 freshman season. In his six starts, he put together a 3.19 ERA, limiting opponents to a .250 batting average. Robinson made a statement in his first ever collegiate start, hurling five scoreless innings at Creighton, as the Jacks were one of only two teams to beat the Bluejays in Omaha. Coming off one of the best seasons, at least according to earned run average, in this decade at SDSU, Kirby Morsching will serve dual role as setup man during the weekends and midweek starter. Morsching started seven games while relieving in seven more last year, going 4-2 with a 2.66 ERA. He brings a career 8-3 mark and a no-nonsense approach to the mound this spring. BULLPEN Gary Olechoski saved a school record nine games in 2006. Jacob Kougl equaled that mark in 2007. Now its Isaac Johnson’s turn in 2008. Johnson struggled to find his identity as a freshman, but last season he found himself in the bullpen. The right-hander went 5-0 with three saves in 20 appearances, posting a 3.43 earned run average. Opponents hit only .249 against Johnson, who was dominant at times last year. Christiansen will have some options this season before he gets to Johnson, namely Kirby Morsching and Matt Baerlocher. As mentioned earlier, Morsching pitched as well out of the bullpen as he did in a starting role last year. His ability to get ground ball outs makes him a valuable asset in the bullpen. Baerlocher has to be considered the suprise of the offseason. A southpaw who saw just 8.2

innings of work last year, the senior made a tremendous improvement and is projected to be the lefty setup man. Expect to see the fiery Baerlocher trotting in from the bullpen to get key outs this spring. After that, Sam Pieczynski and Chris Reynolds are likely the next two on the list. Pieczynski threw only 6.2 innings last season, and Reynolds last pitched for the Jacks in 2006, giving up 12 hits in six innings. Both have made significant progress since the last time they threw for the Jacks, and each should see their fair share of innings. Junior transfers Zach Weber and Tyler Paulson, senior Christian Larson, redshirt freshman Alex Niemann, and freshmen Matt Spinar and Trever Vermuelen all will help fill out the rest of the bullpen innings. Larson is the only one who has pitched for SDSU before and could make some spot starts this spring, while Weber and Pauslon are junior college transfers. Niemann spent last year training at SDSU, while Vermuelen transferred to the Brookings campus after the fall semester. CATCHER Tony Martin caught nearly every inning last year, was voted the team’s most valuable player, and single-handedly took away the running game of opponents. Be it weekday starter or setup man during the weekends, Kirby Morsching will be looked upon to throw key innings this coming spring.

Oh, and he hit .305 with 13 doubles and nine homers, driving in 50 runs despite hitting near the bottom of the order. Did we mention he was only a sophomore? It’s hard to describe just how much the 5foot-6 inch spitfire meant to the Jackrabbits a season ago. In 53 games last season, 36 runners attempted to run on Martin – and only 20 were successful. Martin’s success in throwing runners out was unquestionably among the best in the nation last year, although the NCAA does not keep official rankings on the statistic. His quickness and power also make him a INSIDE THE NUMBERS Batting At Bats Runs Scored Hits Doubles Triples Home Runs Stolen Bases

2008 PREVIEW factor offensively, where he’ll likely hit second, but could hit in the fifth or sixth spots. The one downside about the catcher position for the Jackrabbits is that there isn’t an acual backup to Martin’s spot. For the second consecutive year, the junior from Omaha, Neb., will be the only catcher listed on the roster. Last season, the combination of outfielder Justin Morar and infielder Chris Iverson helped out by acting as bullpen catchers, with Iverson seeing a few innings of game action at catcher. This year, Craig Parry is officially the No.2 catcher, with Morar again assisting in the bullpen along with his outfield duties. DEFENSE A staple of the Christiansen-coached Jackrabbits has been defense, as SDSU has posted two of its three best seasons defensively under the fourth-year head coach. With the likes of Hanigan, Adams, Mintken, Fisher and Martin returning, that is likely to continue this season. And the combination of Jesse Ayala at third and Matt Zabel at short may be even better than what the Jacks have put out there the previous two seasons. SCHEDULE It is hard to find a much tougher schedule than what Reggie Christiansen has put together for his 2008 squad. SDSU will play 16 games against six teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament, including two conference champions. The season opens on Feb. 22, when the Jacks begin a four-game weekend set with Central Arkansas in Conway, Ark. It only gets tougher from there, as the Jacks will play at SEC Western Division champion and NCAA Tournament qualifer Arkansas on March 4-5. After playing four games in the Hillcrest Ford Bearkat Classic, featuring two games against always formiddable Sam Houston State on its own field, the Jacks will meet up with another postseason team. Tuesday, Mar. 11, SDSU will take on Nebraska in Lincoln. Following a trip to Air Force, SDSU will meet another tournament team from the Big 12, as the Jacks play a pair of midweek games at Missouri. Two days later, SDSU meets Big Ten runner-up Minnesota in a three-game set in the Metrodome, March 21-23. Then the Jacks return to the scene of their biggest win last season, the Creighton Sports Complex in Omaha, Neb., where SDSU defeated the Bluejays 12-3 a season ago. That game is set for March 25. After a three-game set at Northern Colorado, the Jacks finally begin the home

portion of their schedule, opening the new Erv Huether Field against former North Central Conference foe North Dakota April 1. The Summit League begins play on April 4, as the Jacks host Centenary, followed by a home game against Creighton on April 8. The Jacks will head to Oakland, host Dakota Wesleyan, and travel to Southern Utah before renewing acquaintances with Minnesota. This time, the Gophers and Jacks meet in Sioux Falls on April 23. SDSU will host Western Illinois in a fourgame set April 26-27, head back to Minnesota on April 30, and then comes perhaps the most eagerly anticipated conference series in Jackrabbit baseball history. The first weekend in May is the date, and perennial conference power Oral Roberts will come to Brookings. The Golden Eagles have

won the conference every season they’ve been in it, and the Jacks will attempt to pronounce their claim to being contenders inside the conference. SDSU will then wrap up its season with two series against schools that were also independents last year – at IPFW May 9-11, and at North Dakota State May 15-17. “I am very excited about this year's schedule,” Christiansen said. “I think we have put together a very challenging non-conference schedule against some of the best programs in our region in Minnesota, Creighton and Nebraska as well as give our kids an opportunity to play at SEC West champion, Arkansas and Big 12 power Missouri. The opportunity to play more games at home this year and compete in the Summit League really completes this year's schedule.”

THE SUMMIT LEAGUE Now in its 26th year as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, The Summit League is in its first year under that name.

That attitude paid off for the Jackrabbits in 2007, as recognition, respect and success was no longer a dream, but rather a reality for Reggie Christiansen and his squad. WE’RE PLAYING WHEN? The Jacks were scheduled to open the season February 9-11 at the defending Big 12 champion Kansas Jayhawks. Mother nature had other plans though, and snow covered Hoglund Ballpark, causing the games to be canceled. Or so we thought. Two days later, Kansas coach Ritch Price and Christiansen came up with an idea – play the games in the Metrodome in Minneapolis. One problem, though. The home of the Minnesota Twins was hosting a Division II tournament all day long. So the coaches came up with the plan: play a 1:30 a.m. doubleheader on the 10th, followed by a 3:30 a.m. finale the next day. Korby Mintken started off the season right with a lead-off triple to dead center, Jake Rogers singled him home, and SDSU was off and running. Rogers would have to come through again, however, as the Jacks trailed 5-4 in the eighth. With a man on, Rogers hit a two-run homer into the left field seats, giving SDSU a seasonopening 6-5 win over the Big 12 champions. Although SDSU would lose the next two games, 3-2 and 4-1, it proved that this team was ready to make the next step. STINGING THE HORNETS The Jacks won their first series of the season the following weekend, taking two of three

from Sacramento State. SDSU won the opener 2-1, with Kevin Morsching and Jacob Kougl combining for four innings of two-hit shutout relief. Saturday, the Jacks exploded for 17 hits, Rogers tripled and homered, and the combination of Matt Bowman and Isaac Johnson did not allow an earned run in a 15-3 victory. While SDSU would lose the finale, the Jacks were 3-3, and it was off to Cape Girardeau, Mo. A NEAR MISS IN MISSOURI Erik Bess was stellar, Morsching and Kougl were unhittable out of the bullpen, and Nick Adams drove in three, leading SDSU to a 5-2 win in the opener at Southeast Missouri State. SEMO responded with a 7-4 win in game two, and then Caleb Thielbar turned in his best performance of his career, and lost. In a scheduled seven-inning game, Thielbar walked three without allowing a hit, shutting out the Redhawks for seven innings. Problem is, the Jacks were three-hit, and with rain pouring down, Thielbar surrendered a bloop double to start the eighth. Thanks to a couple walks and a balk, the Redhawks won the series. It could have crushed a lesser team, but the Jacks would rebound. SPRING BREAK ON THE ROAD With a 4-5 record that could easily have been better, SDSU set off for an eight-game road trip over Spring Break, featuring stops at Indiana State, Tennessee-Martin and Murray State. Things started poorly, as Indiana State won game one 6-2, followed by the Jacks managing only two hits off of Ryan Tatusko in a 3-1 loss. To avoid being swept, Craig Parry’s pinch-

hit eighth inning single plated Cal Lewis, Morsching and Kougl held the lead, the Jacks escaped Terre Haute with a 3-2 win. Tennessee-Martin awaited the following day, and SDSU let an opportunity slip through its hands. Kougl’s only blown save all year led to extra innings, and the Thoroughbreds won it in 10 innings, 5-4. Awakened, the SDSU bats pounded out 20 hits, Rogers had a career best seven RBIs, and the Jacks beat UT-Martin 15-4 in the finale. Murray State was where the trip finished up, and SDSU’s bats remained hot in the opener. Rogers continued his success with four more hits, including his fifth homer, and SDSU won 10-7. Bowman was superb again in game two, allowing only one run in seven innings, but the Racers rallied. Afer Murray took a 2-1 lead in the eighth, Tony Martin and Chris Iverson hit RBI singles to give the Jacks a 3-2 lead. It wouldn’t last, though, as the Racers rallied again, scoring two in the ninth to steal a 43 win. Determined to win the series, Thielbar and Kougl teamed up for a six-hitter in game three, and made the Jacks’ four-run third stand up in a 4-3 win. A LANDMARK VICTORY No one knew exactly how important March 13 would be for either SDSU or Creighton. When the two schools met in Omaha, the Bluejays were 8-6, the Jacks 8-9. Looking back, it was the turning point for both teams. Freshman Mike Robinson, making the first start of his career, held the eventual Missouri Valley Conference champs scoreless, striking out three in five innings. Meanwhile, the Jacks’ offense was outstanding, forcing the Bluejays to use 10 different pitchers. Cal Lewis hit two home runs, Craig Parry had a two-run shot, and Nick Adams provided the long ball of the year. Against Pat Venditte, the only ambidextrious pitcher in the nation, Adams hit the then-lefty’s breaking ball some 450-feet, a towering threerun blast that cemented SDSU’s 13-4 win. Creighton would lose just once more at home that season, win 39 of their next 47 games and advance to the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, the Jacks were just starting to hit their stride SOMETIMES LUCK IS GOOD Coming off the big win at Creighton, SDSU boarded a bus to Missouri State to play a Bears team two years removed from the College World Series. First-round draft pick Ross Detwiler shut down the Jacks in the opener 5-1, and then the Bears routed SDSU 11-1 on Saturday.

2007 IN REVIEW

Isaac Johnson went 5-0 with three saves, compiling a 3.53 earned run average. Sunday afternoon, however, is when the Jackrabbits got the sign. Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky and good. And sometimes, you can just tell that it’s your year. Trailing Missouri State 3-1 in the seventh, the Jacks rallied for three runs via the following: walk, hit by pitch, bunt single, error, walk, fielder’s choice. Without hitting a ball out of the infield, the Jacks rallied on the road. Adding runs in the eighth and ninth, and getting three innings of scoreless relief from Isaac Johnson put the SDSU in the win column, 6-3. FULL STEAM AHEAD SDSU embarked on a 25-8 stretch to end its season, starting with that series-ending victory at Missouri State. The Jacks ended the month of March in Orem, Utah, beginning Independent play against Utah Valley State. Tony Martin slugged two homers, including a grand slam, and SDSU had 19 hits, defeating the Wolverines 17-3 in the opener. That was followed by a Saturday twinbill in which SDSU built up a 10-0 lead and held off the pesky Wolverines, 10-9. UVSC did eke out a 7-5 win in the finale, but SDSU was 12-12 entering its rivalry with North Dakota State.

NO WINTER WONDERLAND April was supposed to mean home series on consecutive weekends for the Jackrabbits. Weather did not cooperate, however, as snow and freezing temperatures forced the series with North Dakota State to relocate to Omaha, Neb., and the Creighton Sports Complex. With temps in the low 30s, the Jacks swept the Bison in an abbreviated two-game series. SDSU broke a scoreless first game with three in the fifth, Bowman went the distance with a career-high 10 strikeouts, and the Jacks won 6-3. The next day, SDSU put together a pair of four-run innings, Martin went 3-for-4 with a double and a triple, and NDSU made four errors to give the Jacks a 10-3 win. Returning from Omaha, SDSU again encountered winter weather. Almost the entire state of South Dakota was covered in snow. Almost. Amazingly, Mitchell had been storm-free, and Dakota Wesleyan worked with the Jacks, allowing SDSU to host Utah Valley State at Cadwell Park. Setting the tone from the outset, the Jacks put up a four spot in the first, Bowman went seven strong to earn his fourth win, and eight Jackrabbits had hits in the 10-2 victory. The next day, SDSU scored seven runs in the fifth and sixth innings, the bullpen held off a UVSC rivalry, and Thielbar improved to 5-2 with an 8-4 Jackrabbit victory. Sunday appeared to be when the Jacks would finally earn a sweep of a Division I opponent, as SDSU held a 5-2 lead entering the ninth. The Wolverines soured the weekend for the Jacks, however, scoring seven in the ninth, with the help of walks and three timely hits, taking game three 9-5.

trip, the schools brought plenty of power to the Black Hills. Game one saw only two homers, though, as Bowman’s complete game, eight-strikeout day led the Jacks to a 6-3 victory over the Bears. Saturday, the offense arrived. UNC and SDSU combined for 23 runs, 27 hits and seven home runs in the middle game. Behind 8-4, the Jacks plated two runs, and loaded the bases for catcher Tony Martin. The sophomore cashed in on his opportunity, launching a grand slam over the light towers in straight-away center field, giving the Jacks the lead and an eventual 14-9 win. Game three was more of the same, this time 22 runs, 30 hits and six home runs were drummed up by the Jacks and Bears. Again down late, SDSU rallied from a 9-6 deficit for seven in the eighth inning. Tyson Fisher’s two-run single put the Jacks ahead, and Cal Lewis’ three-run homer solidified the series sweep. OFFENSIVE AT IPFW SDSU lost another midweek game at Minnesota, 9-4, but had to regroup for a weekend series at IPFW. The Jacks and Mastodons both struggled in the opener, with the visitors finding a way to pull out a 13-11 victory. Five SDSU players had two or more hits. Fisher, Lewis, Martin and Adams all went deep, and although Bowman only lasted five innings, the Jacks survived. To complete the sweep, SDSU outscored the Tony Martin, the team MVP, hit .309 with nine home runs and 50 RBIs. The Omaha, Neb., native started every game at catcher.

ALMOST GOLD VS. GOPHERS After a 9-2 win over NAIA Dakota Wesleyan on Tuesday, April 17, the Jacks turned around and headed for Minnesota the following day. A power in the Big Ten, the Jacks and Gophers have had some wild games the past few years, and this one was no different. SDSU went back-and-forth with Minnesota, finding itself down 7-5 after eight frames. Despite Rogers’ third hit and third RBI, which trimed the margin to 7-6, the Jacks couldn’t score him, suffering a tough one-run defeat. BROOMS FINALLY ARRIVE It took nearly three full years, but SDSU finally got its first sweep of a D-I school the weekend of April 20-22. Played in Rapid City, where SDSU met Northern Colorado in the middle of a 13-hour

2007 IN REVIEW the lead in the bottom of the inning. North Dakota State hung on for a 6-5 win in game three, then scored two in the sixth inning, winning a scheduled seven-inning finale 3-2.

Korby Mintken, the career triples leader at SDSU, also stole 17 bases last season. Mastodons 35-8, winning game two 11-4, then taking Sunday’s doubleheader 14-2 and 10-2. FRUSTRATION IN FARGO Winners of seven of their last eight, the Jackrabbits were off to Fargo, N.D., for another series with rival North Dakota State. The weekend was truly frustrating for SDSU players and fans alike. Friday night’s opener was marred by rain, but the teams were locked in a pitchers duel, tied at three after seven innings. In the eighth, the Bison finally got to the Jacks, scoring three, and Jeff Hille turned in eight solid innings in NDSU’s 6-3 win. Saturday was supposed to be a doubleheader, but instead was only four innings. With two outs in the top of the fifth, rain forced the completion of game two, along with games three and four, to take place the next day. The combination of Thielbar, Bess and Kirby Morsching limited the Bison to one run on seven hits, and three hits from both Jake Rogers and Nick Adams evened the series, a 91 Jackrabbit victory. Following the four-plus innings of game two on Sunday, there was still 16 more frames to play. The Bison and Jacks again went back-andforth, with SDSU taking a one-run lead in the top of the seventh, only to see NDSU regain

HOME, SWEET HOME Brookings finally got a chance to see its Jackrabbits, and SDSU did not disappoint in its four-game set against IPFW. The home team grinded out a 7-4 win in game one, led by the combination of Bowman, Bess and Kougl. The three totaled 10 strikeouts and allowed only nine hits. SDSU wasted no time in game two, scoring six in the first and seven more in the third, claiming a 15-4 win. Adams, Lewis and Martin all hit homers, and Chris Iverson went 3-for-4. Drama kicked in for game three, as IPFW led 7-3 late in the game. The Jacks did rally for three in the eighth, but still trailed 7-6. SDSU got two on with two out, and the Mastodons attempted to intentionally walk Tyson Fisher. Problem was, ball three eluded the catcher, Hanigan scored, and off to extra innings we went. In the 11th, Hanigan doubled to lead off the inning, was bunted to third, and Korby Mintken’s line drive to deep left plated Hanigan for an 8-7, 11-inning win. The Jacks completed their third sweep in four weekends with a 10-3 win, thanks to Martin and Lewis turning in three-hit days. BEARS DOWN IN GREELEY On its final stop before the Independent Tournament, SDSU met up with Northern Colorado for a two-game set in Greeley, Colo. With everyone expecting offensive fireworks, it was instead pitching battles that took place. In game one, UNC got two in the first, but the Jacks grabbed the lead with four in the fifth. After UNC tied the game in the seventh, Fisher singled and Nick Adams doubled him home for a 5-4 SDSU lead. Jacob Kougl did make things entertaining by hitting leadoff man John Ray, but he left two men on base, preserving the one-run win. Thielbar and the Morsching brothers combined to hold the Bears down on Friday, allowing only seven hits and one run. Only one of SDSU’s 14 hits went for extra bases, but it was enough for a 4-1 win. INDEPENDENT TOURNEY TITLE Orem, Utah, played host to the seven-team Independent Invitational Tournament, and SDSU was ready. In its first two games, SDSU was dominant, defeating New York Tech and Chicago State 19-4 and 20-2 respectively.

The Jacks wrapped up play in the tournament with two games on Friday, May 25, against Northern Colorado and New Jersey Tech. The sixth meeting between the Jacks and Bears again was drama-filled, as SDSU broke it open in the middle innings, only to see UNC trim the gap late. SDSU pitchers left 13 Bears stranded, however, and that was enough for the Jacks to hang on, 11-6. A perfect ending would have been winning the last 10 games. It was not to be, however. New Jersey Tech chased Thielbar after four, and although SDSU scored two in the ninth, the Highlanders claimed a 7-4 win. The following day, as the team was returning to Brookings, it found out that it was the tournament champion. THE FINAL STRETCH DETAILS Beginning with the finale at Missouri State, SDSU won 25 of its last 33 games, outscoring the opposition 299-159 during that span. SDSU hit .336 in the two-month stretch, and made only 41 errors, a .967 percentage. Even more impressive were the Jacks’ power numbers. SDSU hit 12 more doubles, 16 more triples and 17 more home runs than their opponents, slugging .539 as a team. Lewis hit 12 of his 16 homers during the span and ten Jackrabbits hit .299 or better, with seven coming in at over .330. SDSU’s weekend starters combined to go 19-3, walking only 44 batters in nearly 200 innings of work. Martin continued to shut down the running game, throwing out 12 of 18 runners who tried to steal on him, and the Jacks turned 23 double plays.

JAKE ROGERS: FROM SOUTH DAKOTA STATE TO THE MINOR LEAGUES Jake Rogers came to South Dakota state from Walla Walla Community College to play Division I baseball, hoping that he could do so well enough to attract Major League scouts. Ironically, it wasn’t his statistics, but his battling nature against one of the nation’s best pitchers that impressed the Washington Nationals. The date was March 16, and Rogers was facing off against Missouri State ace Ross Detwiler. The southpaw was being scouted by the Nats, who would take him with the sixth overall pick. Rogers’ prolonged at-bats and his ability to keep up with the lefty’s stuff impressed the Washington scouts. Three months later, in the 22nd round of the Minor League draft, the 670th pick belonged to the Nationals, and they selected Rogers. Rogers left Brookings, where he was helping coach the local American Legion squad, for Burlington, Vermont, the home of the Class A Vermont Lake Monsters. The Lewiston, Idaho, native started 59 games at second base, hitting .232 with nine doubles and 20 RBIs. The Lewiston, Idaho, native impressed the Nationals enough to earn an invitational to participate in winter ball this January. This spring, Rogers will be in Florida to take part in spring training. Following that, the former Jackrabbit will likely be assigned to another team inside the Nationals farm system. DARNELL COLES

VERMONT LAKE MONSTERS

“

Jake is a nice young man, the kind that you’d want your daughter to marry. He’s easy going, ac hard worker who made the adjustment from playing shortstop to second base for me. The more versatility a kid shows as they start to move up, the better off they will be. We knew that he could play shortstop, but watching him play second base, he’s absolutely incredible.” REGGIE CHRISTIANSEN

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE

“

Jake’s impact on and off the field over the past two years has been a big reason for the progress of our program through the Division I transition. He proved that you truly can go anywhere from here, even in a baseball sense. Jake’s best playing days are in the future, he can go as far as he wants.” JAKE ROGERS

“

Playing baseball at South Dakota State prepared me for so much after college. Reggie Christiansen is a great coach and teacher, and he’s also a true student of the game. He prepared me with the knowledge and skills of the game in a different manner than any other coach has ever done. Choosing SDSU was the best decision that I ever made.”

ALL-TIME COACHING RECORDS

Erv Huether, holding a game ball after his 200th career win in 1973, led the Jackrabbits from 1950-1983. Under his tutelage, SDSU won six North Central Conference titles and advanced to three NCAA regionals. In 1975, the on-campus field was renamed after Huether, and SDSU’s brand new faciliy wil also bear the legendary coach’s name.

Mark Ekeland had the dubious task of following up Erv Huether’s tenure as baseball coach. All Ekeland did in year one was lead the Jacks to their first NCC title in nine years and their only trip to the College World Series. Ekeland’s teams had an amazing run of 16 consecutive appearances in the NCC playoffs. His teams also earned six postseason trips during his 20 years at SDSU.

When the topic of greatest SDSU pitchers comes up, Bob Ehrke’s name is often forgotten. It shouldn’t be, as from 1952-1954, he compiled a 2.09 earned run average, striking out 130 batters in 120.2 innings. During his senior season, Ehrke set a record that’s likely to never be broken - an 0.49 ERA in 37 innings, going a perfect 5-0. 1967 Ron Hofmeister Mike Kelley 1966 Ed Maras 1965 Bernie Van Essen 1964 Ed Maras 1963 Sheldon Johnson 1962 Jerry Johnson 1961 Brent Wika 1960 Charles Risse 1959 Charles Risse 1958 Howie Rice Dean Veal 1957 Don Frank 1956 Don Jorgenson Deane Antoine 1955 Don Jorgenson 1954 Bob Ehrke 1953 Porter Howard 1952 Bob Ehrke Porter Howard

Gary Olechoski made the difficult transition from North Central Conference starter to Division I closer, but starred in the latter role. His two-year total of 14 saves is a career record, and no Jackrabbit pitcher has made as many appearances as Olechoski. While everyone remembers Olechoski the closer, the Omaha, Neb., native also led the Jacks in strikeouts as a freshman, making eight starts in 2003.

Terry Van Engelenhoven had an all-American junior season in 1993, hitting an SDSU record 17 home runs and tying the school mark for total bases with 127. He also had 67 hits, which at the time was a school record. Not bad for a guy who went 1-for-12 during his first two seasons as mainly a pitcher. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Billy McMacken is the only Jackrabbit to earn multiple All-American awards. In fact, he received the honor each of his last three years at SDSU. And while most remember his impressive offensive numbers, he was also an excellent pitcher. The lefty went 18-11 over his career, logging 178 innings for the Jacks. 8. 9. 10.

1984 JACKRABBITS: COLLEGE WORLD SERIES QUALIFIERS When Mark Ekeland became the fourth coach in SDSU baseball history, no one expected a whole lot. After all, the team was 14-16 in 1983, and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made the NCAA Tournament in seven years. That 1984 season turned into one of the most memorable in school history, as SDSU finished 27-13 and advanced to the College World Series. The Jacks won the NCC Tournament, twice defeating host Minnesota State, Mankato. SDSU earned the right to host the Midwest Regional, and defeated Missouri-St. Louis in the championship, earning a trip to Riverside, Calif., and the CWS. Though the Jacks would lose both games in California, it could not diminish the accomplishments of the squad. During the season, the 1984 team accounted for 19 records. While 18 of those have since been broken, Dave Lane, as a sophomore, set a new benchmark for career stolen bases. He still holds that mark, with 76. In addition, Ekeland was named Midwest Regional Coach of the Year. 2008 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

From 1964-1966, the rotation of Dick Barnes, Bernie Van Essen, Ed Maras and Bill Iverson earned 28 wins, averaged over one strikeout per inning, and helped the Jackrabbits to NCC championships in 1965 and 1966. Both Barnes and Maras were all-NCC selections in 1965 and 1966, while Van Essen was also an all-conference pick in 1966.

2008 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

JACKRABBIT ALL-AMERICANS ED MARAS

WINDOM, MINN.

1966 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 1ST-TEAM The 6-foot-2, 225 pound righty was described in his All-American candidacy as “strong as the proverbial bull.” The proof? Before he graduated from SDSU, the Windom, Minn., native was drafted by the NFL’s Green Bay Packers and the American League’s Baltimore Orioles Maras earned his baseball recognition with a tremendous senior season, which led to the first all-American from the Jackrabbit baseball program. Before 1966, no SDSU pitcher had ever won more than five games. Maras topped that, going 7-2 with a 2.61 earned run average. He led the Jacks to their second straight North Central Conference title, striking out a teambest 58 batters in 69 innings of work. Of his two losses, one came at the hands of Minnesota, runners up in the Big Ten that season, and the Gophers only managed six hits and one earned run off him. He was more than just a pitcher, however, as Maras also stood out as an all-conference first baseman that season. Maras hit .357 with 12 extra-base hits (four doubles, four triples and four home runs), ending the year with a .602 slugging percentage. The Jackrabbits, led by Maras, finished that year 15-12, but 10-2 inside the NCC. Maras was responsible for nearly half of the squad’s wins on the mound, and led the team in nearly every offensive category.

JIM LANGER

ROYALTON, MINN.

1969 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM Everyone recognizes Jim Langer as a Pro Football Hall of Famer and the starting center on the 1972 World Champion and undefeated Miami Dolphins. Jackrabbit historians, however, remember him just as much for his prowess on the diamond as the gridiron. Langer’s junior season earned him second-team All-America honors in the college division, which would later be known as Division II. Selected as an outfielder, Langer won SDSU’s proverbial “triple crown,” as he led the Jackrabbits in hitting, pitching and fielding. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, Langer hit .399 while setting then-single season records with 37 hits and 25 runs batted in. he hit five doubles, two triples and three homers, slugging .505 As a starting pitcher, he compiled a 5-3 mark with a 3.19 earned run average. As you can imagine, Langer was much more power than finesse, striking out 50 batters in 53.1 innings. On top of it all, Langer did not commit an error while patrolling the outfield, leading the Jacks to a share of the North Central Conference crown, SDSU’s third in five seasons.

DEAN KROGMAN

LISMORE, MINN.

1971 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM The 1971 South Dakota State University baseball squad finished one game shy of a North Central Conference championship - but don’t blame Dean Krogman. All that the Minnesotan did was set a record for slugging percentage that still stands today, set four more records that have since been broken, and led the NCC in six different offensive categories. Krogman hit for the highest average, at that time, in SDSU history, ending the season with a .417 average (42-for-101). He hit 10 homers, drove in 34 runs, and tallied 42 hits, all of which were also records that have since been eclipsed. The most amazing stat about Krogman’s season was his ability to hit for power. Of his 42 hits, 24 went for extra bases, leading to a school record .881 slugging percentage. That mark still stands, after 36 years. He hit 11 doubles and three triples, striking out only 14 times in 30 starts. As previously mentioned, he was an even bigger factor against conference foes. He hit at a .418 clip in the NCC, tops in the conference. He also held top honors in the league for hits (28), home runs (9), total bases (66), triples (3) and runs scored (23). South Dakota State started the year with a seven-game losing streak, but with the help of Krogman the Jacks won 14 of their last 23 games, posting a 13-7 mark in the NCC.

2008 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

JACKRABBIT ALL-AMERICANS DAVE MANKE

MARSHALL, MINN.

1976 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM When asked to describe Manke, legendary Jackrabbit baseball coach Erv Huether said “he’s one of the best I’ve ever coached.” Talk about high praise. Manke, who did just about everything during his time in blue and yellow, was a three-time all-District V selection, earning All-America status following his senior season. During his final year, Manke helped SDSU to an 18-16 mark, including a 13-7 record and a runner-up finish in the North Central Conference. Manke, a native of Marshall, Minn., led SDSU with a .386 batting average, scoring 27 runs while tallying seven doubles, a triple and two long balls. He drew 24 walks compared to only five strikeouts in 131 plate appearances. That’s a ratio of one strikeout every 26 times up.

BILLY MCMACKEN

BROOKINGS, S.D.

1988 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM The beginning of something special was McMacken’s 1988 campaign, the first of three consecuive AllAmerica seasons for the Brookings product. The designated hitter lived up to the position’s name, hitting at a .409 clip, and set a then-school record with 35 runs batted in. When he towed the rubber, the southpaw was just as impressive. He was a perfect 5-0, and while his earned run average was above five, opponents hit only .302 against him. In addition to his pitching and DH duties, he saw plenty of action at first base, where he was perfect defensively, not making an error the entire season. McMacken’s numbers would have been even more impressive, but SDSU had to forfeit its first 10 games of the season. While all the other statistics stand from those games, McMacken’s three pitching victories do not, and therefore he’s only credited for a 5-0 season. The Jackrabbits went 27-15, winning the NCC’s Southern Division. In fact, SDSU played its way to the NCC Tournament’s title tilt, falling to host Minnesota State, Mankato 1989 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM As a junior, McMacken became the first Jackrabbit to ever earn multiple All-American honors. In leading SDSU to a 30-16-1 record, McMacken topped the Jackrabbits in batting average (.416), home runs (10), runs batted in (52), total bases (109), hits (62) and runs scored (48). He also hit 13 doubles, which tied for tops on the squad. For the second consecutive season, McMacken was errorless in the field in 36 total chances. He also pitched in 11 games, going 5-6 with a 6.55 ERA. Even though McMacken still had a year to play, he’d already set the career record for runs batted in, which at that point was 142. SDSU rattled off a 30-win season in 1989, going 11-1 to win the Southern Division title. Despite hosting the NCC Tournament, SDSU was eliminated prior to the championship game. 1990 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM South Dakota State won its sixth consecutive NCC Southern Division crown, claimed a runner-up finish at the NCC Tournament, and earned a postseason berth to the Central Regional. The year 1990 also marked an unprecedented third-consecutive All-America season Billy McMacken. School records the lefty set during his senior season included 16 homers, 60 runs batted in and 127 total bases. The total bases mark remains a school mark, which Terry Van Engelenhoven tied in 1993, while his 60 RBIs and 16 home runs each rank second on the list. He also smacked 18 doubles, which is still a school mark, one he shares with Russ Langer and Greg Geary. On the mound, he went 5-5 with a 5.12 ERA, holding opponents to a .276 batting average

JACKRABBIT ALL-AMERICANS TREVOR SCHULTE

MONTEVIDEO, MINN.

1993 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 1ST-TEAM One could argue that Trevor Schulte is the greatest pitcher in Jackrabbit baseball history – and it would be hard to refute. The left-hander from Montevideo, Minn., got off to a rocky start as a junior, losing each of the first two games he pitched. He would not lose a game for another 14 months. Schulte started 11 more games, winning 10 of them, and finished the season with an earned run average of 2.88. He also made two appearances out of the bullpen, notching one save in his 81 innings of work. He recorded 72 strikeouts while only walking 38. In fact, he allowed just 57 hits all season for an opponents’ batting average of .197. Schulte was named Most Valuable Pitcher of both the North Central Conference and the North Central Region, setting a single season record for wins that he would break again the next year. Following his 10-win streak to end the 1993 season, Schulte won his first 11 outings of his senior season, which tied an NCAA record that still stands today – 21 consecutive wins.

TERRY VAN ENGELENHOVEN

LUVERNE, MINN.

1993 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM In his first two years as a Jackrabbit, Terry Van Engelenhoven had a total of 12 at-bats. While his one hit was a home run, there was no reason to think this pitcher was going to be anything special with the bat. And then came 1993. Van Engelenhoven started 54 games as a first baseman/designated hitter and turned in single-season records with 67 hits and 17 home runs, finishing the year with a .416 batting average. He also turned in some big innings on the mound, throwing one complete game – the championship game of the NCC Tournament, as he shut down North Dakota. He went 3-4 in 63 innings of work this year. To add even more irony to it all, Van Engelenhoven wasn’t even a first-team all-North Central Conference selection. The Luverne, Minn., native was merely selected honorable mention. While Van Engelenhoven’s outing against North Dakota gave the Jacks a conference crown, it was UND who got the last laugh. SDSU won a school-record 39 games and hosted the Central Regional, where it won its first two games, but UND beat the Jacks in back-to-back games to go to the College World Series.

COLE IRISH

PLAINVIEW, MINN.

1996 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM The last Jackrabbit to earn All-America status, Irish shattered the SDSU record books in 1996, and some of those marks still stand. Irish hit at a .449 clip, 75-for-167, the highest average ever put up by a Jackrabbit with at least 100 at bats. In addition, he put up several numbers which, at the time were school records: 75 hits, 63 runs and 63 RBIs. He also added 14 doubles and three triples, earning NCC Southern Division Most Valuable Player and first-team all-NCC honors. The .449 average, 63 runs scored and 63 runs batted in remain single-season school records. His 28 runs scored and 19 walks in conference play set NCC records, both of which have since been surpassed. He hit safely in 41 of the 47 games he played, tallying 22 multiple-hit games. Irish’s numbers weren’t just against fluff competition. In the NCC Tournament, he had four hits, including a double and two home runs, against league champion Minnesota State, Mankato. The Jacks, led by Irish, finished the year at 34-13, winning their 11th NCC Southern Division crown in 12 seasons.

THE TRIPLE CENTURY CLUB Nineteen Jakcrabbit players are currently enshrined as members of the Triple Century Club, including two current Jacks that made the list last year – first baseman Tyson Fisher and right fielder Nick Adams. To earn membership into the Triple Century Club, an SDSU baseball player must compile the following statistics: • 100 or more games played • 100 or more runs scored • 100 or more hits • 100 or more runs batted in Three Jackrabbits have been recognized in the Triple Century Club since SDSU began its transition to Division I. Greg Geary’s senior season coincided with SDSU’s first in D-I, and Geary completed his run at becoming a member of the prestigious club. Both Fisher and Adams have done it exclusively at the Division I level.
