2013 SEASON OUTLOOK

FMU armed for 2014 baseball season The Francis Marion University baseball team will open its 2014 campaign this weekend as the Patriots play host to the ninth-annual Carolinas Hospital System Baseball Classic. The four-team event will begin on Saturday morning and continue through Sunday evening with three games each day on Cormell Field at Sparrow Stadium in FMU’s Griffin Athletic Complex. On Saturday (Feb. 1), Mars Hill University will play Limestone College at 11 a.m., FMU will battle Limestone at 2 p.m., and Mars Hill will take on Pfeiffer University at 5 p.m. On Sunday (Feb. 2), Francis Marion will play Mars Hill at 11 a.m., Limestone will play Pfeiffer at 2 p.m., and FMU will take on Pfeiffer at 5 p.m. Francis Marion returns 16 lettermen, including four position starters, the designated hitter, and two starting pitchers, from last season’s 28-20 squad that placed sixth during the PBC regular season. The Patriots have advance to the NCAA Tournament in four of the past five years. “The keys to our success in 2014 will be infield defense and starting pitching,” said Patriot head coach Art Inabinet. “Our bullpen is as good as any we have had at FMU in my 14 years. Our goal will be to get our starters through the sixth or seventh inning and turn it over to our bullpen. I feel as though we will have the make-up to win some games late.” For the opening weekend, Inabinet pointed to junior college transfer Jordy Santak as his starter in Saturday’s season-opener against Limestone. Sophomore left-hander Daniel Barfield will start Sunday’s contest against Mars Hill, and senior righty Spencer Jordan will get the starting nod against Pfeiffer. Santak posted a 4-2 record and a 2.50 earned run average in 12 appearances last year for Cecil College in Maryland. Barfield was 1-1 with a 4.03 ERA in 14 appearances as a Patriot freshman. Jordan missed all of last season with an injury after earning All-Conference and All-Region honors in 2012 with a 10-4 record and a 2.97 earned run average. Leading the position returnees are senior shortstop Michael Wilson (.254, 2 HRs, 36 RBIs), senior center fielder Isaac Davenport (.303, 21 RBIs), senior first baseman David DeWolfe (.300, 20 RBIs),

senior outfielder Dalton Gress (.278, 10 RBIs), senior third baseman Luke Tollison, and sophomore second baseman Cole Morris (.292, 11 RBIs). Tollison batted .278 with a homer and 17 RBIs in 2012, but missed last season with a back injury. Gress, a career .304 hitter, was named to the Capitol One Academic All-District III Team last season and earned PBC All-Academic Team recognition. Also returning on the mound are junior righty starter Chris Harrison (5-0, 2.89 ERA), senior right-handed closer Jeffrey Stoner (4-3, 3 saves, 3.55 ERA) and sophomore righty reliever John Rossi (31, 3 saves, 2.73 ERA). Last year, the FMU staff ranked 19th nationally in strikeouts per nine innings (7.8). Among the newcomers who may crack the opening day starting lineup are senior outfielder Marquis Currie (Texas Southern University), junior outfielder Zac Lenns (Georgia Southern University), sophomore third baseman and catcher JD Crowe (Auburn University), junior catcher Nicholas McGee (Southeastern Community College), junior first baseman Conner Wessel (Gateway Community College), and red-shirt freshman utility player Devin Walker (Winthrop University).

“In addition to our strong bullpen, another strength for us this year should be more overall team speed,” Inabinet said. The Patriots stole only 48 bases in 48 games in 2013. “This should also allow us to hit-and-run more. We will be able to load our line-up with as many as seven left-handed bats when facing a righthander. When we get our offensive attack going, it should be fun to watch. “It is always exciting to start a new season. New opportunities abound for this group to mold themselves into a successful team. So far, this squad has had a great attitude and been a joy to coach.” Francis Marion’s 50-game schedule includes 31 home games on Cormell Field at Sparrow Stadium. FMU will play its first 12 games at home, including the opening PBC series against USCA on Feb. 21-22, with the Feb. 21 contest being Fireworks Night (later changed to April 1 vs Mount Olive College due to rain). The 2014 Peach Belt Conference Tournament will be held May 10-11 at Roberto Hernandez Stadium in Aiken, S.C. Inabinet is entering his 14th season as the Patriots’ head coach and his 17th season as a four-year college head coach. He owns a 525-300-2 career record. Francis Marion begins its 42nd year of sponsoring intercollegiate baseball, and the Patriots have an all-time record of 1097-681-3 (.617 winning percentage).

In 2006, Inabinet directed the Patriots to a program-best 41-18 record, a No.6 national ranking, and the program's first-ever trip to the NCAA Division II College World Series. The Patriots were ranked as high as third in the national poll during the 2006 campaign and spent seven weeks in the Top 10. FMU placed second in the Peach Belt regular-season standings.

Cormell Field at Sparrow Stadium

Opened in the spring of 2012, the R. Gerald Griffin Athletic Complex houses the new home for Patriot baseball -- the new Clifford S. Cormell Field at Sparrow Stadium. The street address for the complex (GPS) is 4700 East Palmetto Street, Florence, SC 29506. The field is part of the $11.1 million west campus athletic complex that includes a lake, fieldhouse, softball stadium, and soccer stadium. One main ticket office -- on the east side -serves the entire complex. The baseball facility consists of 800 seats with capacity of 1,755, and includes concession area, restrooms, two VIP suites, and pressbox. The field dimensions are 330 feet down each line, 375 feet to the power alleys, and 400 feet to center center, with approximately the same foul territory as at old Cormell Field. Bullpens are located down each foul line, and the first phase of the fieldhouse is located adjacent to the bullpen down the right field line.

Old CLIFFORD S. CORMELL FIELD Named in honor of Florence businessman Clifford S. Cormell, Cormell Field was offically dedicated on March 5, 1974. Cormell was instrumental in helping establish Francis Marion University, and early on he served as cochairman of the Patriots Brigade (now known as the Swamp Fox Club). When opened, The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cliff was one of only a handful of collegiate facilities with an astroturf infield. The astroturf was replaced by natual grass in the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The dimensions of the field are 320 to right and left fields, 365 to the power alleys, and 400 to center field. Seating accomodates 400 spectators with standing room for up to 1,000. FMU lost that first game in 1974, 5-3 to the University of South Carolina before a standing room-only crowd. Francis Marion ended its run at this field with a 20770-1 mark in its final 278 home games. FMU beat Flagler College 2-1 on April 7, 2012, in the final contest before moving across the street to the new Comell Field at Sparrow Stadium in the Griffin Athletic Complex.

Francis Marion stuns Gamescocks 5-4 in stadium debut FLORENCE, SC -Twentieth-ranked Francis Marion University plated all its runs with two outs and the Patriots held on for a 5-4 win over ninth-ranked and two-time defending NCAA Division I champion South Carolina, Wednesday evening (April 11) at the opening of the new Cormell Field at Sparrow Stadium. Francis Marion improves to 27-13 and avenges in a way an earlier christening loss against USC (24-10). The Gamecocks rallied for a 5-3 win on March 5, 1974, at the official dedication of the Patriots' former facility, "old" Cormell Field. Wednesday, FMU sophomore right-hander Jeffrey Stoner induced a sharp line-out to right field by USC pinch-hitter Sean Sullivan for the final out with the tying run on second base to send the capacity crowd of 1,755 into a frenzy. The victory was the 400th at FMU for Patriot head coach Art Inabinet, now in his 12th season as head coach. Junior first baseman Stephen Tarkenton was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs batted in, while sophomore third baseman Michael Wilson and junior right fielder Jarrod Reed both collected a pair of hits. Junior first baseman Christian Walker led South Carolina with a 3-for-4 night that included an RBI single and a mammoth 372-foot solo homer to left field. Francis Marion broke up the scoreless contest with three runs in the bottom of the third. After South Carolina starter Adam Westmoreland (2-1) retired the first two batters of the inning, Wilson singled to left center. Senior outfielder Tyler Boyd extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a bunt single to the left of the mound. Junior second baseman Tyler Hibbs plated the first run at the new stadium with an RBI single to center field. Senior center fielder Buddy Sosnoskie followed with a run-scoring single to left center, and he took second on the unsuccessful throw to third. After a pitching change by USC, Hibbs scored the third run on a wild pitch by Patrick Sullivan. Walker got one run back with his solo shot in the top of the fourth. An RBI single up the middle by catcher Dante Rosenberg drew South Carolina to within 3-2 in the fifth. However with the tying run at second base, FMU senior southpaw Matt Broderick (6-1) got the third out by covering first on a ball that eluded Tarkenton at first and was flagged down by Hibbs in the hole between first and second. Broderick limited the Gamecocks to two runs on four hits in five frames, while striking out three and walking one. Junior Patriot righty Don Sandifer then held the Gamecocks at bay with two scoreless and hitless innings. FMU added a pair of two-out runs in the seventh to go up 5-2. Wilson reached on a fielder's choice grounder, stole second, and moved to third after back-to-back walks to Hibbs and Sosnoskie. Tarkenton then poked an 0-1 pitch from Evan Beal up the middle to plate Wilson and Hibbs. Walker's run-scoring single in the top of the eighth cut the margin to 5-3, but Stoner stranded two runners by fanning Joey Pankake. In the ninth, pinch hitter Kyle Martin got the Gamecocks to within 5-4 with an RBI groundout, but Stoner got the final out to earn his second save of 2012. Francis Marion returns to Peach Belt Conference play this weekend with a key series at 30th-ranked Lander University, beginning with a single game on Saturday at 3 p.m. #20 Francis Marion Univ. 5, #9 U. of South Carolina 4 (Apr 11, 2012 at Florence, SC) ---------------------------------------------------------------------U. of South Carolina 000 110 011 - 4 7 0 (24-10) Francis Marion Univ. 003 000 20X - 5 9 1 (27-13) ---------------------------------------------------------------------Pitchers: U. of South Carolina - Adam Westmoreland; Patrick Sullivan (3); Evan Beal (7); Hunter Privette (7); Logan Munson (8) and Dante Rosenberg; Grayson Greiner.
