The 8,000 seat, natural grass stadium includes 28 luxury suites, five party decks, six food and beverage outlets, a souvenir shop and a club lounge. One of the premier college ballparks in the country, Hammons Field was built by Missouri State alumnus John Q. Hammons. The facility features offices for the Missouri State coaching staff as well as separate dressing room and training facilities for the Bears. The Bill Rowe Indoor Training Facility is a 120-feet by 120-feet indoor practice facility that includes retractable batting cages and a FieldTurf surface. Hammons Field also became the home of the St. Louis Cardinals AA affiliate, the Springfield Cardinals, in 2005. In 2004, in the Bears’ first year at Hammons Field, Missouri State averaged 3,759 fans per game. With 20 home games and 75,186 total fans attending Bears games, MSU ranked ninth in the NCAA in attendance average, and 26th in total attendance.

2010 Missouri State Season Outlook

New Look Bears Strive to Repeat as MVC Champs Solid mix of veterans and newcomers make up talented roster

The 2010 Missouri State Baseball Bears look much different than the squad that claimed a Missouri Valley Conference championship a year ago. While losing four All-Americans off the roster might spell trouble for some clubs, 28th-year head coach Keith Guttin reloaded with young talent and plans to field another contender in 2010. As for the team’s predicted second-place MVC finish in the league’s preseason poll, Guttin said, “People in the league feel like we have talented players, and we feel that way as well.” That talent is centered around defense up the middle, with Aaron Conway (Jr., Edwardsville, Ill.) patrolling center field, Kevin Medrano (So., Lee’s Summit, Mo.) at second base and Travis McComack (So., De Soto, Mo.) at shortstop. Starting pitchers Aaron Meade (Jr., Kansas City, Mo.), a preseason all-conference pick, and Pat Doyle (Sr., St. Louis, Mo.), have a combined five years in the program under their belts and will anchor a talented staff with a number of new faces with solid credentials.

at Missouri State. A preseason All-America selection according to Ping!Baseball, Meade went 9-2 with a 3.39 ERA as a first-team all-MVC pick in 2009. He parlayed that success into an allstar selection in the Cape Cod League over the summer, where he went 3-1 with a 1.91 ERA and 47 strikeouts, ranking fourth in the league in Ks. Pat Doyle joined the weekend rotation with two weeks to go in the 2009 regular season, earning wins against Creighton and Indiana State to help the Bears secure a league title. The righty logged 48 innings and posted a 4.12 ERA, a 4-2 record and a pair of saves. Several hurlers will vie for the third spot in the weekend rotation as the Bears possess many options as Sunday and midweek starters. Blake Barber (Jr., Kenner, La.), a transfer from Northeast Texas Community College, totalled 127 strikeouts in 120 innings over two seasons in junior college and has the make-up to start or relieve at the Division I level. Mike Kickham (So., Springfield, Mo.) returns home after a season at Crowder College in Neosho, Mo. The lefty has a good arm and fanned 47 hitters in 41 innings as a freshman Solid Mix on the Mound A number of veteran arms welcome an in 2009. intriguing nucleus of newcomers to a pitching A pair of rookies in Grant Gordon (Fr., staff which shows plenty of promise in 2010.

The righty went 12-0 with a 0.38 ERA and 152 strikeouts as a senior, and fanned 34 against one hit in two appearances during an injury-shortened junior season. Johnson was a 15th-round pick of Tampa Bay in the 2009 draft despite missing half of his senior season at Faith Christian Academy due to injury. Johnson struck out 45 batters in 25 innings last year, posted a 0.54 ERA as a junior and went 10-0 with a four-hitter in the state title game as a sophomore. Clay Murphy (Fr., Wolf Lake, Ill.) is projected as the team’s closer. He has a strikeout breaking ball that helped him fan 355 hitters over the his final three Aaron Meade went 9-2 with a 3.39 ERA as a first-team all-MVC pick prep seasons, as well as the last season.

competitive nature and bounce-back ability required of a stopper. Five veterans and a freshman round out the pitching staff and provide much-needed depth and experience. J.C. Casey (Jr., Springfield, Mo.) made marked improvement between his first and second seasons at Missouri State and looks forward to another jump this season. He split time between bullpen and starting roles last year, throwing 26.1 innings. Over the summer, Casey led the Coastal Plain League with 80.2 innings pitched, 11 starts and five pickoffs while putting up a 2.79 ERA, 60 strikeouts and a .223 opponent average. In addition to his mound prowess, Casey worked out in the field during fall practice to add another dimension to his game and depth to the defense. Sean Toler (Sr., DesPeres, Mo.) has 56.1 innings to his credit in three seasons as a Bear with a career average of nearly a strikeout per frame. The hard-throwing righty has come out of the bullpen for all but two of his 36 career appearances. Another veteran is Cody Aycock (Jr., Batesville, Ark.), whose 3.79 ERA in 2009 was the best among Missouri State relievers. Aycock logged 81 innings over 29 appearances and seven starts over his first two seasons, combining for a 4-1 record and 4.22 ERA.

at shortstop, and the Bears went 26-11 with him at the position. Like McComack, Tyler Ryun (Jr., Platte City, Mo.) provided a spark to the Bears last season when he became the starting first baseman in early March. The junior hit .268 with eight homers and 28 RBIs and batted a solid .345 against MVC pitching. Stepping in for Drake at the hot corner is another middle-of-theorder hitter in Beau Stoker (Fr., Kansas City, Kan.). Stoker opted for college ball after Minnesota selected him in the 18th round of the 2009 draft. He can hit for power and average, and comes from a Bishop Ward High program that won three state titles in his four seasons. Stoker Aaron Conway is a preseason all-MVC choice in the outfield. hit .460 as a senior and .500 as a junior, earning all-state recognition Adam Maddox (So., Concordia, Mo.) in Kansas both seasons. worked himself into a valuable member of the Curt Courtwright (Sr., Lincoln, Ill.) rounds MSU bullpen as a redshirt freshman last season, out the infield group and can play both positions culminating with a win over Illinois State in on the left side. Courtwright saw action in 107 the MVC Tournament when he pitched the games over his first three seasons and possesses final 4.1 innings, and should assume a similar exceptional defensive skills. He set the school role this season. Tyler Bean (Jr., Topeka, Kan.) made one record with 10 assists in a game at Creighton appearance in 2009 before an injury sidelined in May of last season, and concluded his junior him for the season. Coming off successful campaign with 59 consecutive errorless surgery, Bean looked good during fall chances. practice. Ryan Modglin (So., Scott City, Mo.) and Barrett Noirfalise (Fr., Joplin, Mo.) are both two-way players who could provide a spark on the mound and contribute in the outfield and offensively.

with 29 RBIs, 22 extra-base hits and 18 steals in 20 tries. Known for his speed, Conway slugged .464 last season and drew 40 walks to rank second in the MVC and seventh in school history. He continued to hone his base-stealing skills in the summer, going 44-for-47 for Green Bay of the Northwoods League to finish one shy of the league record. Keenen Maddox (Fr., Ballwin, Mo.) should fill in nicely in left field. Another speedy outfielder with some power, Maddox was a four-year starter in high school at Parkway West outside St. Louis. He showed glimpses of his bright future after hitting .482 as a freshman in high school and earning the Missouri High School Coaches Newcomer of the Year award. Likely sharing time at the other corner outfield spot are veterans Christian Overstreet (Sr., Nixa, Mo.) and Trevor Rogers (So., Magnolia, Ark.), who can each provide some power from the left side of the plate.

Speed in the Outfield

Preseason all-MVC centerfielder Aaron Conway leads the MSU outfield following a a solid sophomore campaign where he hit .291

Experience on the Infield

Three-fourths of the infield returns with only the large shoes of 2009 MVC Player of the Year Brayden Drake to fill at third base. Valley Freshman of the Year Kevin Medrano returns to man second base after hitting .329 with three homers and 40 RBIs as a rookie. In addition to his bat, Medrano’s fielding prowess was on display as he fielded .980 at second for the season, bettering that number at .990 in MVC games. He also stroked 76 base hits, fourth in school history among freshmen, and ranked fourth in the conference with 53 runs scored while logging 24 multihit games. Joining Medrano up the middle is fellow sophomore Travis McComack, who hit .276 with 24 RBIs with a 7-for-7 stolen base ledger as a freshman. McComack made 37 of his 44 starts

Tyler Ryun started 41 games at first base as a sophomore and belted eight home runs.

Overstreet has seen nearly half of his hits go for extra bases in 76 career games while swiping 11 bases in 14 tries. Rogers saw significant time as the Bears’ designated hitter as a freshman, playing in 41 games and finishing the season with a .247 batting average, two home runs and 15 RBIs. Zak Swyhart (So., St. Joseph, Mo.) is a switch hitter with speed who batted .247 with 12 RBIs in 34 games last season and will provide depth at any outfield spot, while Modglin is a powerful left-handed bat who could also see time. Pat Doyle posted a 4.12 ERA and 4-2 record last season after joining the Bears’ weekend rotation late in the year.

Catching Duties Shared

Brett Marshall (So., Springfield, Mo.) and Luke Voit (Fr., Wildwood, Mo.) will likely split time behind the plate. A Springfield native, Marshall saw limited action as a freshman but was thrust into the starting role during the conference tournament last season when Dallas Hord went down with an injury. Marshall is a solid defender who played error-free in 50 chances last season and hit .238 with two RBIs and six runs scored in 21 at bats. At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, the powerful Voit was a first-team all-state backstop as a senior, hitting .486 with a .892 slugging percentage and .582 on-base figure to help Lafayette High to a 22-4 record. He was a 32nd round selection of Kansas City in the June draft.

Options at DH

The Bears’ will use the designated hitter position to gain favorable match-ups against opposing pitchers, with Voit, Modglin, and transfer Tyler Paxson (Jr., Toulon, Ill.) among the leading contenders. A right-handed hitter and catcher by trade, Paxson spent two seasons at Black Hawk College in Moline, Ill., before joining the Bears. He ranks in the top 40 in Illinois high school history in career RBIs (18th), doubles (33rd) and hits (39th).

The 2010 Schedule

The 2010 schedule features 25 home dates and 30 games away from Springfield, 22 contests against teams that qualified for the 2009 NCAA Tournament and four versus 2009 C o l l e g e Wo r l d S e r i e s participants. “The schedule allows us to play strong opponents and highRPI teams,” Guttin stated. “You look at Georgia Tech, Southern Miss, renewing the home-andhome series with Kansas as well as the rest of the non-conference schedule, it’s going to be a good test.” The MVC schedule is 21 Travis McComack started 44 games on the infield as a rookie, hitting .276 with 24 RBIs and seven steals in as many tries. games this season with UNI’s departure from the league, leaving 34 nonconference contests. NCAA teams from 2009 on the MSU schedule include Georgia Tech, Southern Miss, Wright State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Oral Roberts, Missouri, Arkansas and Wichita State. The Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Championship will be held May 25-29 in Wichita, Kan. All eight league schools will participate in two four-team, double-elimination pools. The winners of each will advance to a one game championship.

NCAA Baseball Championship in 64th Year The 64th annual NCAA Division I Baseball Championship will conclude with the NCAA College World Series. The event is held in Omaha, Neb., for the 61st time in its history. For the 12th year, the tournament will continue with a highly-successful new format which was implemented in 1999. Another significant change to the format in 2003 occurred in the World Series’ final round. The championship round is now a best-of-three showdown involving the winners of each bracket in the CWS field. The 64-team tournament field will again include 30 conferences whose champions (determined either by a league tournament or regular season play) automatically qualify for NCAA play, with the other 34 slots to be filled on an at-large basis. There are a total of 293 schools sponsoring Division I baseball in the NCAA. Following the conclusion of conference tournament play the last weekend in May, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee will select and announce its 64-team field for the tourney. The teams will go into 16 double-elimination regionals of four teams each, with the regionals to be held June 4-7 either at campus or neutral sites. The NCAA will announce the 64-team field May 31. The 16 regional winners will advance to best-of-three Super Regionals at eight campus sites the weekend of June 11-14, with those

sites to be announced June 8. The Super Regional winners will advance to the 64th College World Series, held at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, June 19-30. Missouri Valley Conference member Creighton University is the College World Series host.The eight teams in the CWS are divided into two doubleelimination pools of four schools each. Pool winners meet in the new best-of-three championship June 28-30. All CWS games are nationally televised on ESPN. Once the field of 64 teams is determined, the committee will select 16 teams each to receive regional seeds one, two, three and four. From the 16 No. 1 seeds, the committee will select the top eight national seeds and rank them, one through eight. The eight national seeds will be placed in separate regionals so they cannot meet before the first round of the College World Series, and the eight remaining No.1 regional seeds will be placed geographically in the 64-team bracket for potential Super Regional meetings with the eight national seeds. Teams from the same conference will not go into the same regional and teams from the same conference who are number one regional seeds cannot meet in the Super Regionals. The 64-team field will not be reseeded once the initial bracket is announced May 31. Thirteen schools have represented the MVC in the NCAA Division I championship, including

all nine current MVC baseball schools. Wichita State is the leader, having made 27 NCAA appearances since 1980, with six trips to the College World Series and an overall tourney record of 77-54. The Shockers won the NCAA championship in 1989 and were College World Series runners-up in 1991 and 1993. Missouri State was the only Valley team until WSU in 2007 to advance to the Super Regionals and the only league school to advance to the CWS under the current 64-team format. Southern Illinois is 39-30 in 14 NCAA visits, Indiana State is 8-14 in seven, Bradley is 3-12 in six, Creighton is 12-16 in eight, Missouri State is 13-15 in seven, Evansville is 5-6 in three, and Illinois State is 1-4 in two. Some NCAA appearances by current MVC members were made prior to their joining the conference. Previous league members representing the MVC in NCAA play were UNI, Tulsa, Saint Louis, Oklahoma State, Houston and Cincinnati. The MVC representative to the NCAA tournament will be the champion of the Valley tournament, May 25-29, in Wichita, Kan. All eight members of the league will participate in the postseason tournament this season. A pair of four-team, double-elimination pools will be formed, with the winners of each pool to meet in the winner-take-all championship game.

2010 Guide

Keith Guttin, Head Baseball Coach

Beginning his 28th year of guiding the Missouri State baseball program, head coach Keith Guttin continues to build the Bears into one of the top programs, not just in the Missouri Valley Conference or Midwest, but in NCAA Division I. Under Guttin, the Bears are 938-573 (an average of 35 wins and 21 losses per season) and have won 62 percent of their games. Guttin has had eight 40-win seasons. Missouri State returned to the top of The Valley in 2009, finishing the league schedule with a 17-5 record after sweeping Creighton and Indiana State in the final two weeks of the season. Both CU and ISU entered its series with MSU atop the MVC standings. In 2003, MSU advanced to its first-ever NCAA Division I College World Series to cap a season in which the Bears won the MVC regular season title for the second time in three seasons. The Bears’ NCAA Tournament trip was the second straight NCAA trip and the sixth appearance in the past nine years. That year, Guttin garnered the American Baseball Coaches Association Midwest Region Coach of the Year award and his second MVC Coach of the Year honor in three seasons. It was his third conference honor since the Bears joined the Valley and it was Guttin’s ninth conference

Coach of the Year recognition in 23 years as a head coach. In 2002, the Bears posted their first 40-win season since 1991 and won the secondmost games in school history and the most since winning a school record 47 games in 1987. Missouri State advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in eight years but the first time since 1999. In 2001, Guttin led the Bears to their firstever MVC regular season championship and, in the process, dethroned perennial league powerhouse Wichita State. The Shockers had previously won outright or shared the Valley regular season crown in the previous 14 years, but the Bears posted a 22-10 record in 2001 and beat WSU by one game in the final league standings. While the accomplishments of Guttin’s teams on the field speak volumes about the success of his program, another dream came true in April 2004 when the Bears opened a sparkling 8,000-seat stadium just four blocks north of the Missouri State campus. The Bears finished the year ninth among NCAA Division I teams in attendance and that was playing only a portion of their home schedule at Hammons Field. It’s just a coincidence that the crown jewel of the Missouri State baseball program came one year after the Bears exploded onto the national college baseball radar in the College World

Series. But both events show the growth of college baseball in the Ozarks and the amount of community and administrative support the program had received in the last several years. Throughout those years, Guttin has been the face of Missouri State baseball. A part of the MSU baseball program as a player, assistant coach and head coach for 32 of the program’s 46 years, Guttin took the helm of Bears baseball at the start of the 1983 season, coinciding with the move of Missouri State athletics to Division I status. He inherited the reins of the program from its only previous head baseball coach, former Missouri State Director of Athletics Bill Rowe. Guttin stretched the str ing of MSU consecutive winning seasons to 32 in a row; easily the longest of any Missouri State athletics team. The Bears have finished in the top half of the conference race every year but three in the last 35 seasons. Missouri State slipped to 10-11 in 1992, 1517 in 2000, 10-14 in 2005 and 7-17 in 2007 in the Bears’ only years in the past 35 seasons without a winning league record. The Bears have finished lower than third in the league standings just five times since Guttin took over. Guttin directed Missouri State to six straight league titles in Mid-Continent play from 1984 through 1989. He gave MSU its first two Valley postseason tournament championships in

Missouri State Assistant Baseball Coaches

Brent Thomas

Paul Evans

Jon Ubbenga

28th season Missouri State ’82

22nd season Southern Illinois ’81

1st season William Jewell, ‘09

A veteran assistant coach who’s been at Missouri State alongside Bears’ head coach Keith Guttin since Guttin took over the baseball reins in 1983, Brent Thomas is one of the senior assistants in the Missouri Valley Conference as he enters his 28th year on the MSU staff. Thomas has been the Bears’ first base coach for six Mid-Continent Conference championship years, MVC titles in 1996, 1997, 2001, 2003 and 2009, and all seven of the Bears’ trips to the NCAA tournament. In addition to coaching, Thomas’s duties include academic evaluation of players and game administration, as well as working with hitters and outfielders. Thomas stayed with the program after his days as a Bear outfielder in 1981 and 1982. He came to MSU after earning MVP honors twice at Crowder College in Neosho, Mo. A native of Marshfield, Mo., Thomas played for the Bears’ unbeaten MIAA Southern Division champs in 1981 and the 1982 team which closed the Bears’ Division II days with a regional title and a trip to the NCAA World Series in Riverside, Calif. Thomas hit .380 for the 32-12 MSU team in 1981 as the Bears came within a game of winning the MIAA crown and advancing to NCAA play. He hit .352 his senior year as Missouri State was 31-14 and won its final Division II regional, competing as an independent. Thomas was a four-year baseball starter at Marshfield and also played football and basketball. He was a four-year all-conference pick in baseball and two-time all-leaguer in football. Coach Thomas also coached the Marshfield American Legion team two summers. He and his wife, Debbie, have a son, Evan, and a daughter, Allie.

Paul Evans moves into his 22nd season with the Bears, having come to Missouri State as pitching coach in 1989 after three years as head coach at Rend Lake College. Evans also serves as the recruiting coordinator for the baseball Bears. Over the past four seasons, Evans has coached the two highest draft picks in MSU history, with Brett Sinkbeil going 19th overall in 2006 and Ross Detwiler as the sixth overall pick in 2007. Detwiler made his major league debut with the Washington Nationals on Sept. 7, 2007, a mere 108 days after his final outing in a Bears’ uniform. In fact, Evans has coached three first round pitchers in the last seven seasons, including John Rheinecker as the 37th overall pick in 2001. A total of 44 hurlers have signed pro contracts under Evans’ tutelage, with at least one in each of his 22 seasons and seven advancing to the major leagues. Additionally, Evans has seen three Bears selected to pitch for Team USA: Jarrod Mays (1995), Bob Zimmermann (2001 and 2002) and Detwiler (2006). In 2001, the Bears led the MVC and were 17th in the country with a 3.63 earned run average. Rheinecker became the highest draft pick in MSU history in June of 2001 and Zimmermann led the USA National Team in saves and appearances. In 1990, Evans coached the staff to a school record ERA of 2.91 which was sixth in Division I. Evans guided Rend Lake to a 201-95 mark in three years which included two Illinois juco sectional titles. Rend Lake missed the 1986 juco World Series by one game. A native of Granite City, Ill., Evans played football and baseball at South High School. He pitched his American Legion teams to back-to-back state runner-up finishes and had a 50-8 combined career record in high school and American Legion. He gained Illinois all-state honors in baseball while in high school and in 2000, he was inducted in the Granite City Sports Hall of Fame. Evans was 18-7 at Southern Illinois before graduating from SIU in 1981. His 0.84 ERA as a sophomore was third in Division I and he had a no-hitter against SIU-Edwardsville. Evans was head coach at Shawnee Junior College and assisted at RLC two years before becoming head coach. A Central Illinois Collegiate League and Cape Cod League hurler, he returned to Cape Cod in 1988 as pitching coach at Yarmouth-Dennis. Evans has three children, Kyle, Kameron and Kassidy.

2010 Guide

Missouri Valley Conference The Missouri Valley Conference enters its 103rd year at the start of the 2009-10 academic year, and the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics. The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions. While the success of men’s basketball has received the greatest attention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually every sport continues to raise the national profile of the conference. There were plenty of other milestones for The Valley in the athletic arena in 2008-09. For the second-straight year, the conference staged a neutral site women’s basketball tournament at the St. Charles Family Arena before good crowds, with Evansville earning the title and representing the league in the NCAA Tournament. Regular-season champ Illinois State reached the semifinals of the WNIT. In baseball, Wichita State again represented the league in the NCAA Tournament, and reached the regional final, falling to Washington State. Over the past three decades, the Shockers have made 26 NCAA Tournament trips, with seven CWS berths and a 1989 NCAA Championship to their credit. In one of the closest results in league history, Wichita State earned the 2008-09 All-Sports crown, edging secondplace Illinois State by 0.06 points. The Shockers won a league-best four titles (women’s cross country, volleyball, men’s golf and women’s tennis), while placing in the top four in 12 of 15 sports in which they sponsor. Based in St. Louis since 1985, the league is assertive in its approach to hosting NCAA basketball championship events, operating a revenue-producing in-house television network, bidding out the right to host sport championships and landing title sponsorships for those events. The success of The Valley television package is one of the great stories in the league, in terms of the clearance of the men’s basketball tournament title game on national broadcast television, the excellent national and regional coverage for basketball and other sports, and the effective sale of advertising content to more than 25 companies. The MVC Television Network has blossomed into a revenuegenerating vehicle and The Valley’s most visible marketing tool. During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. This continuing involvement of the MVC in hosting NCAA events represents one of the most concentrated stretches of host opportunities for any university or conference in the 70-plus year history of the national championship tournament. In 2010, the Missouri Valley will host an NCAA men’s basketball regional, while The Valley has hosted three Final Fours this decade (women’s events in 2001 and 2009, and the Men’s Final Four in 2005). The league had previously hosted men’s regionals in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2007; and a men’s first/second round event in 2002. Additionally, Creighton and The Valley co-hosted a men’s basketball first and second round in 2008 in Omaha. And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progressive in pursuing NCAA events, it has continued to be a national leader in the athletic arena. And starting in 1995-96, the conference broke new ground by allowing league members to bid for hosting rights for select team sport championships. By establishing uniform host criteria, the conference is able to assist a host institution in a season-long promotional campaign and provide an avenue where hosts can acquire sponsors and achieve a profit for the event. Meanwhile, the league has been progressive in other

areas, as it has taken its merchandise program in-house, while offering e-commerce solutions for league apparel, championship photography and a conference-wide videostreaming package. The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted. In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. This season, the league will conduct its 99th outdoor track and field championship, its 92nd tennis championship, its 56th baseball tournament, and its 72nd golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (51 years), indoor track (43), soccer (19) and swimming and diving (16), have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Conference as one of the most respected conferences nationally. Athletic accomplishments on the men’s athletics side include 10 national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qualifiers. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) in women’s basketball, while MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance, and Creighton (2003), Drake (1999) and Illinois State (2009) have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament. Indeed, the inclusion of women’s programs under The Valley banner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference -- which began in 1982 -- merged with the Missouri Valley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conference on July 1, 1992. And while the inclusion of women’s sports under a comprehensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league’s storied history, over the years, Valley student-athletes and coaches have become household names during the league’s illustrious history, both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professional careers. In fact, The Valley began honoring that tradition in the summer of 1997, when the conference began its athletics Hall of Fame. Hersey Hawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State, Wes Unseld of Louisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State, Dave Stallworth of Wichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis, and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati were members of the initial induction class. Currently, nearly 40 former players, coaches and alums dot the league’s Hall of Fame. From its early beginning to its current standing on the map of college athletics, The Valley will always continue to be proactive in its approach. League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is an affiliate member in men’s soccer, while Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville begin affiliate men’s soccer membership in 2010.

The Bears Fund The Bears Fund is the annual fund-raising program for Missouri State intercollegiate athletics that was established in 1981 in conjunction with the move of MSU athletics to NCAA Division I status. The fund’s name stands for “Building Excellence in Athletics through Recruiting and Scholarships,” and the fund has grown substantially throughout the 26 years of its existence. The 2008-09 drive netted over $2.98 million, marking the 21st year in a row in which total contributions to The Bears Fund have gone beyond $1 million. The fund is administered by the Missouri State University Foundation with additional input from coaching and administrative staff members in intercollegiate athletics. Contributors of $50 or more during each year are recognized as members at various giving levels in The Bears Fund, and, as such, receive benefits within the athletic program, including game program recognition, online athletics newsletter, and parking and postseason ticket considerations. Bears Fund gifts may be earmarked for specific sports or general use and the money is used to enhance MSU athletics, particularly in the areas of scholarships and recruiting. Contributions may be cash, gifts in kind of goods or services, matching gifts from employers, bequests or life income trusts and honorary or memorial gifts. An additional fund-raising event that’s a popular late-summer social event for MSU fans is the Missouri State Auction Benefiting Athletics. Held in late August for each of the past 21 years, the auction has generated additional income for athletic uses with an evening of food, fun and entertainment. Individuals and businesses donate goods or services for sale at the auction, and the income derived from that sale goes to intercollegiate athletics. Items available for purchase at the auction since it began in 1987 have included automobiles, a thoroughbred racehorse, country club memberships, advertising packages, travel opportunities including road trips with MSU athletic teams, furs, jewelry, sports memorabilia, and unique items such as the chance to join MSU coaches on the sidelines during varsity contests. Fourteen of the last 15 auctions have netted more than $100,000 for MSU athletics, and the 2006 auction set a record by raising more than $150,000.

2009 Bears Season Review

Bears Win MVC Title, But Left on Wrong Side of NCAA Bubble With a roster loaded with talent, the goals entering the 2009 Missouri State baseball season were simple enough: win the Missouri Valley Conference and go to the NCAA Tournament. After a 4-10 start, the Bears rebounded to go 30-10 over the season’s final 40 games, winning a league title and putting themselves in position for that coveted NCAA berth. While the team had the credentials, the NCAA selection committee felt otherwise and left the Bears on the outside looking in for a second year in a row. The Bears finished 34-20 overall and had two AllAmericans, seven all-conference players and six draft picks in a season that will be remembered for a great 10-week stretch and numerous individuals adding to Bears’ baseball history. SLOW START DOOMS THE BEARS High expectations entering the year didn’t transfer into results the first weekend as the Bears traveled to Middle Tennessee and were swept in three games by the high-powered Blue Raiders. Missouri State committed nine errors in the series, a theme that plagued the team for three weeks on the way to a disappointing 4-10 start that saw the Bears commit 36 errors and allow 39 unearned runs over 14 contests. In fact, the winless drought continued into the second week with a 14-12 loss to Nebraska before the Bears put things together in pounding St. Mary’s 17-3 behind Ben Carlson’s seven RBIs for the first win of the year. A six-error game later that same day led to a 15-11 loss to Sam Houston State, and a short night followed as the Bears had a 10 a.m. game against Nebraska the next morning. Buddy Baumann made his first start of the year against the Huskers, surrendering a single over five scoreless innings to set the tone in a 3-2 win. Back-to-back home losses to Central Arkansas in 10 innings and North Dakota, allowing six runs (one earned) in the ninth, sent the team reeling to a 2-7 record. The Bears easily handled UND the next two games, but South Dakota State came into town and swept a midweek series with some help from the Bears’ defense. The next day, the Bears boarded a plane to Portland, Ore., for a tough series with 23rd-ranked Oregon State. MSU’s fortunes would change at PGE Park, but not before an 8-7 loss to the Beavers in which the Bears allowed only two earned runs. THE WINS START COMING The Bears faced an uphill battle against a sound Oregon State team, but turned to Baumann to get out of the slump. The southpaw delivered with six scoreless innings before rain delayed what had the makings of a season-changing win to the next day. Aaron Meade, already scheduled to start Sunday’s contest against OSU, took the hill for the final three innings of Saturday’s resumption and saved a 5-3 win before throwing the first six innings of the Bears’ 4-2 win in the series’ final game. Jon Barnes struck out the Beavers’ cleanup hitter with the bases loaded in the ninth for the save. Missouri State brought the momentum gained in Oregon back to Hammons Field and stretched its winning streak to seven games with two wins over Southeast Missouri State (13-2 and 16-3) and an MVC sweep of Bradley by scores of 8-3, 15-3 and 9-2.

That was the first of five consecutive games that Drake would homer, as he barreled through Creighton’s pitching staff that weekend in a three-game sweep of the Bluejays, who entered the series atop the Valley standings at 14-3. On Friday, CU led 4-2 in the eighth before Drake swatted a solo shot, and Tyler Ryun added another in the ninth for the tie. Drake belted a two-run double later that inning and Barnes nailed down a shaky save. Saturday’s game at Rosenblatt Stadium swung the Bears favor at 10-7, with three more Drake RBIs and a 5-for-6 day from Hord. With Clubb now pitching from the bullpen, Pat Doyle took the hill Sunday and took a shutout into the ninth with a masterful performance.

fourth-seeded Creighton at 2-0 in the tourney. An error helped CU score two in the first, but the Bears answered with two and added another pair in the third to lead 4-3. The Bluejays scraped across runs in the fifth and sixth before Rogers doubled in the tying run in the seventh that eventually sent the game to extras. The Jays loaded the bases with one out in the 10th and a strikeout had the Bears an out away from preserving the tie, but Robbie Knight drove in a pair with a two-out single. In the bottom of the inning, Courtwright hit a one-out RBI single but was stranded on second as the potential winning run as the Bears were dispatched from the league tournament after losing only one game in extra-inning fashion. AWARDS AND HONORS It was another banner year for Missouri State baseball on the awards front, as the Bears landed two All-Americans and nearly swept the MVC’s specialty awards. Baumann nailed down spots on four All-America teams, garnering second-team recognition from Collegiate Baseball and the ABCA and earning thirdteam honors from the NCBWA and Ping!Baseball. He was also a College Baseball Foundation Pitcher of the Year finalist and a semifinalist for the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award. Drake was a third-team pick of Collegiate Baseball as the other half of the Bears’ All-America duo. He was also honored nationally on May 13 as the College Baseball Foundation Central Region Player of the Week. Collegiate Baseball continued to recognize the Bears by naming Medrano a Freshman AllAmerican. Baumann was also a CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Third Team selection, the second player in school history to gain All-America honors athletically and academically in the same season. The other player to accomplish that feat was Carlson, who repeated as an Academic All-American with a second team nod in 2009. Those two players were joined on the Academic All-District First Team by Chris Playter. Drake was the MVC’s Joe Carter Player of the Year, Baumann was the Pitcher of the Year and Medrano earned Freshman of the Year honors. Those three also made first-team all-conference along with Carlson, Hord and Meade, with Playter

Bears Baseball

earning honorable mention accolades. Bears earned seven weekly honors from the league, three for pitchers and four for players. Baumann garned Pitcher of the Week recognition twice (3/2 and 3/30) and Meade won it once (4/20), while Drake won Player of the Week three times (3/23, 5/11 and 5/18) and Carlson brought it home once (3/2). Academically, Baumann, Carlson, Drake and Playter were MVC Scholar-Athlete first team members, and Clubb won the league’s weekly scholar-athlete award on April 22. Carlson and Drake were voted by the region’s coaches to the ABCA All-Region Second Team, and Playter concluded his playing career with an MVC all-tournament nod, while the coaches of Missouri State’s male sports voted him the winner of the Virgil Cheek Award in May. Drake was voted by his teammates as the team’s A.E. “Ted” Willis Most Valuable Player after the season, while Baumann was the Dave Dickensheet Pitcher of the Year and Medrano the team’s Danny Cook Rookie of the Year. RECORD BOOKS UNDER REPAIR Drake made the biggest impact on the career record books, vaulting himself into the top 10 of nearly every offensive category. He left Missouri State as the career leader in doubles (67) and with the longest hitting streak (30 games), while ranking fifth in hit by pitch (28), hits (268), at bats (817) and extra base hits (101), seventh in RBIs (176), eighth in total bases (431), ninth in singles (167) and games played (212), 10th in game-winning RBIs, and 15th in home runs (28). Drake’s doubles total also ranks seventh in MVC history. Carlson leaves Missouri State as the career leader with 41 hit by pitch and seventh with 38 homers. Playter moved to sixth in school history with 17 game-winning RBIs, including 11 in 2009 for the third-highest total in MSU history. As for pitchers, Clubb ended his stellar career ranking third in innings pitched (278), fifth in wins (21) and sixth in starts (37) while narrowly missing the top 10 with 200 strikeouts. Baumann fanned 101 in 2009 to rank fifth for a season and vault himself to eighth in career punchouts with 215. Doyle used 16 appearances to jump to ninth in MSU history with 57 in his career. As for season marks, Carlson’s 22 HBP fell one short of the school record and Drake was plunked 12 times to finish fifth on that list. Conway slugged eight triples to tie for second

and walked 40 times to tie for seventh. Drake’s .414 average is ninth in MSU history and the highest since 1999. Baumann tied Clubb’s 2008 season with 11 wins for second all-time, while Meade’s nine wins rank seventh. Medrano successfully sacrificed 10 times for third place, just two off the record. Courtwright claimed the only individual game record of the year, recording 10 assists in a May 10 win at Creighton. WITH THE NEXT SELECTION... Missouri State saw six players from the 2009 roster drafted, and a total of 11 were taken when four Bears baseball recruits and a basketball signee were factored in. Carlson went off the draft board first, going to Cleveland in the sixth round as the 185th overall pick. Baumann followed a round later when Kansas City selected him 212th overall. Drake went to San Diego in the 12th round (354th overall), and 500 picks went by before the New York Yankees selected Meade 855th overall in the 28th round. The next Bear was chosen shortly thereafter when the Chicago Cubs took Clubb one round and 35 picks later. Hord was picked by Florida in the 32nd round (968th overall) to round out the 2009 MSU draft class. STAT LEADERS Five regulars finished the year hitting above .300 as the team batted at a .302 clip for the season. Drake led the way with a .414 average and 54 RBIs, the highest average for an MSU player in 10 years and ninth-best in school history. Hord hit .347 and slugged .556 while stealing 11 bases, and Medrano notched 76 hits and a .329 average with 40 RBIs. Eleven of Playter’s 46 RBIs were game-winners, the third-best total in MSU history, and the senior finished with a .308 average after a late-season charge. Carlson led The Valley with 16 homers, hitting .301 with 51 RBIs. Conway hit .291 and stole 18 bases while slugging 22 extra base hits. He drew 40 walks and finished sixth nationally with eight triples. On the mound, Baumann went 11-1 with a 3.23 ERA, 101 strikeouts and a .220 opponent average. Meade was close behind with a 9-2 record, 3.39 ERA and .232 opponent average in a team-high 90.1 innings. Tim Clubb won four games and struck out 74 in 88 innings. Doyle put together two solid starts late in the year to finish 4-2 with a 4.12 ERA. Barnes led the club with five saves, logging a 4.15 ERA in 18 appearances. Combs appeared in 22 games to lead the staff in that category. COACH KEITH GUTTIN Missouri State head coach Keith Guttin (MissouriSt. Louis, 1978) completed his 27th season with a career record of 938-573 (.621). Guttin became the first coach at Missouri State (in any sport) to reach the 900-win mark with the May 11, 2008, win over Middle Tennessee at Hammons Field. In 2003, Guttin led the Bears to the NCAA Division I College World Series for the first time in school history. Guttin has been a conference Coach of the Year nine times with three of those coming in the Valley and six coming during the Bears’ years in the Mid-Continent Conference. During Guttin’s tenure, the Bears have made seven Division I NCAA Tournament appearances -- six in the last 14 years.

Kevin Medrano earned Freshman All-America honors and was the MVC Freshman of the Year

Missouri State NCAA Tournament Results After 19 years in the NCAA Division II ranks which included seven appearances in the Division II tournament and four trips to the Division II World Series, MSU moved to Division I in 1983. MSU hosted the first four D-II World Series at Meador Park. The Bears played in two of those events, finishing as the national runner-up in 1969 and third in 1970. MSU won regional tournament titles and went to the Division II World Series in 1978 in Springfield, Ill., and in 1982 at Riverside, Calif. In 1987, the Bears made their first appearance in the NCAA Division I tournament at Tempe, Ariz., and in 2003 advanced to the Division I College World Series for the first time in school history. MSU had three straight NCAA visits in 1995, 1996 and 1997, competing in regionals at Fresno, Calif., Austin, Texas and Lubbock, Texas. After a one-year absence from postseason play, MSU returned to NCAA play in the 1999 Fayetteville (Ark.) Regional. In 2002, MSU made the regional tournament with a trip to Lincoln, Neb. The Bears returned to Lincoln in 2003 and won the regional before sweeping the Columbus Super Regional over Ohio State. The Bears were winless in their 1987 and 1995 NCAA outings but claimed two wins and played on the final day in each of the four subsequent regionals, finishing third in regional play in 1996 and second in the 1997, 1999 and 2002 regional fields. In 2003, MSU was 3-1 at the Lincoln Regional, 2-0 at the Columbus Super Regional and 0-2 in the CWS in Omaha, Neb.

#22 Bill Rowe On Saturday, May 8, 2004, former head baseball coach and director of athletics Bill Rowe became the first person in the 46-year history of the MSU baseball program to have his number retired. Rowe guided the baseball Bears as head coach for 19 years from the start of the program in 1964 through its final season in NCAA Division II in 1982. He led the Bears to a 394230-1 record and four Division II College World Series appearances. Under Rowe, the Bears finished as national runners-up in 1969 and finished third nationally in 1970 (just the sixth and seventh years of the program). As Athletic Director, Rowe guided the Bears from Division II to Division I and saw the Bears change leagues from the MIAA and Mid-Continent Conferences to a current membership in the Missouri Valley Conference. The retirement ceremony for Rowe’s jersey was held prior to the Bears’ doubleheader against Illinois State. The indoor practice facility at Hammons Field also bears Rowe’s name as of January 30, 2010.
