Media Procedures INTERVIEWS WITH PLAYERS / COACHES: If you are interested in conducting an interview with any of the BGSU players or coaches, please address sport information contact Ryan Gasser to set up an appropriate time and method. Please allow 24 hours of notice. MEDIA/GAME NOTES: Game notes will be published and available to the media at least one day prior to any BGSU baseball game. An abbreviated version of game notes will be provided the day before all weekday games. Full versions of media/game notes will be provided by Thursday afternoon for all weekend series. Updated statistics and any major story lines will be provided before each subsequent game of the weekend for the media. GAME CENTRAL: All information pertenant to BGSU baseball can be found in one location, BGSU Baseball Game Central. Located on the sidebar of the BGSU Baseball home page, Game Central provides links to audio (if available) and live statistics as well as updated statistics for each team. Information on each opponent can also be found at Game Central. A live blog will be kept and can also be found at Game Central. PRE-GAME MATERIALS: Lineup cards with statistics and team rosters will be provided for all BGSU Falcon home games and can be found in the plastic bins at each stairway when entering/exiting Warren E. Steller Field. Lineups will be posted inside the pressbox for media and outside of the pressbox for fans and scouts. POST-GAME MATERIALS: Players and coaches are available for interviews after each Falcon home game, per request. Please direct all requests to SID Ryan Gasser or an appropriate member of the BGSU Sport Information Department. Interviews can be done immediately after the game and on field level. Final statistics, box score and play-by-play report can be provided for media members on request. PRESS BOX ACCESS: Press box seating is limited and therefore will be granted under the discretion of the BGSU Sport Information staff. Preferential seating is given to BGSU staff, media and visiting staff (if present). Scouts are NOT permitted in the press box. The press box is a working environment and will not be accesible to fans, non-staff or non-media members. Cheering for or against either team and the umpires is strictly prohibited. RADIO/TV: Media requesting to broadcast BGSU baseball must submit notice two weeks prior to the desired game for assurance of coverage. No more than two media organizations may broadcast from within the press box at any given time. Auxilliary space is available on top of the press box.

Live Stats

Live stats for all BGSU home games and away contests are available on the BGSU web site (www.bgsufalcons.com). Stats can be accessed from the schedule page in the baseball section of the web site by clicking on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live Statsâ&#x20AC;? icon on the right hand side of the page.

Selected radio broadcasts of BGSU baseball games will be done by the Bowling Green Radio Sports Organization (BGRSO) on 88.1 WBGUFM or Falcon Radio (formerly WFAL Radio).

Previewing the 2011 Falcons A YEAR IN REVIEW The 2010 season started like a wild roller coaster ride up and down ‘Falcon Mountain’ with the way that Bowling Green performed over the team’s first 22 games. Competing in but losing its first six games against nationally-ranked competition, BGSU rebounded during their annual spring trip to Winter Haven, Fla. winning or tying six of seven games they played in against some very versatile competition followed by sweeping Eastern Kentucky on the road. Despite floating just below .500 at that point, the Falcons lost seven of their next eight games and ten of their next twelve. Standing 26 games into the season with an 8-17-1 record and fresh off the worst loss in program history, their 32-10 defeat to Ball State served as an eye-opening experience and the beginning of one of the biggest turnarounds in BGSU history. At that point the bats woke up, the pitching became more consistent and lively and the Falcons’ record flipped from sub-.500 to a first place caliber mark. Three games following one of the worst losses in program history, the Falcons put together the third longest winning streak the program had ever witnessed. From April 16 to May 1 the Falcons went unbeaten, spanning 11 games. From that April 16 matchup with Toledo through the rest of the regular season Bowling Green won 18 of its next 21 games and only lost one conference series, that being against Kent State. Include the Mid-American Conference tournament; the Falcons won 21 of their final 26 games of the 2010 campaign. Earning the fifth seed of the MAC Tournament, BGSU won its first postseason game in the last five tries with an opening round victory over Ball State. A loss to Central Michigan the following day put the Falcons on the hot seat but on the third day of the tournament, BGSU eliminated Ball State and gave CMU its first tournament loss to advance to the semi-final round of the tournament. However, the Falcons’ season came to an end when the Chippewas mounted a ninth-inning, come-from-behind victory on the final day of the tournament.

were a part of the back-to-back Mid-American Conference regular season championships in 2008 and 2009 and have been involved in the program’s current streak of three straight MAC East division championships. Together they have built offensive numbers that include a combined .286 batting average (206-for-720), 119 RBI and ten home runs between the three position players. The pitching staff including Wooten, Parsons and Berry has combined numbers of a 6.52 earned run average, 136 strikeouts and a 14-5 overall record.

Berti’s Andrew Kuns range deep in the hole accompanied Newcomers with his strong Logan Walker arm and improving Brandon Howard glove have gained Levi Fisher him recognition in Jeremy Shay the field but when taking his place in the batter’s box, he lifts himself to new heights. Last year Berti set a school record with 93 hits in a season and now resides with the secondbest single-season batting average, hitting at a .423 clip. His combination of speed and natural instincts on the base paths not only make him a fantastic base stealer (29-of-35 in 2010) but has regularly turned doubles into triples and singles into doubles, creating more scoring opportunities for the Falcons.

USHERING IN THE 2011 SENIOR CLASS The senior class is composed of five individuals, two of which will be serving as captains. Clay Duncan (INF) and Frank Berry (INF) will join Jon Berti in captaincy while Dan Parsons (LHP), Charles Wooten (RHP) and Ryan Schlater (C) round out the senior class of 2011.

Though his services were more valuable to his team last year as a designated hitter, Matthew Pitzulo (Poland, Ohio) will be called upon to replace Logan Meisler at second base this season. Pitzulo underwent Tommy John surgery to repair a lingering injury, but the sophomore is expected to be back stronger than ever and bring a flash of leather to the table defensively. Last season, he earned All-MAC Second Team honors while batting .352, hitting four home runs, 28 RBI and 13 doubles serving as the DH for the Falcons. He and Berti will make for a strong middle infield once they work out together more regularly.

The senior class over the last three years has a combined overall record of 91-65-1 (.582) and a conference mark of 52-25 (.675). While at Warren Steller Field, this senior class has defended their home field with a 40-20 (.667) record. They

On the corners will be familiar faces from the lineup but each with their own interesting story as to how they got there. Co-captain Clay Duncan (Norwalk, Ohio) found his way as the regular first baseman last year midway through

the conference season after serving as a utility player previously. Before making first base his home Duncan had played third base, each corner outfield spot and even pitched an inning of relief. With Duncan’s fielding percentage (.994 in 2010) and leadership in the field, he will hunker down the first base responsibilities. Co-captain Frank Berry (Virginia Beach, Va.) is slated to begin the 2011 season manning the hot corner but does so after fighting through a junior season with an arm injury. Berry was recruited as a position player for the Falcons but his live arm made him a viable candidate to throw out of the bullpen. He sustained an arm injury that forced him to sit out the 2009 season. Last season, Berry was relegated to only four relief appearances on the bump and now he finds himself back in an everyday role with a bat in hand. He has not taken an official at-bat since the 2008 season, but Berry is set to fill the hole left by Derek Spencer last year. Logan Walker (Richmond, Va.) has impressed the coaching staff with exceptional athleticism and versatility. The freshman, who comes from one of the strongest summer league programs in the nation, is a jack of all trades. He possesses

Previewing the 2011 Falcons good speed both with his legs and his bat, can flash the leather and has good baseball IQ. He is seen as being one of the freshmen with the highest upside as his career progresses but his raw ability will make him a viable backup at third base, a strong option off the bench and even better prospect down the line. Another strong prospect that is likely to see playing time sooner rather than later is freshman Brandon Howard (Cincinnati, Ohio). A middle infielder by trade, Howard can light up base paths and cover a lot of ground defensively. Should Pitzulo’s arm not be ready by the beginning of the season or if he is switched to serve as the team’s designated hitter, Howard would likely step in to fill the vacancy at second base. THE OUTFIELDERS One of the greatest challenges BGSU will face this season will be replacing all three of its regular outfielders from a season ago, especially in a park where Outfielders gaps are large Returning Letterwinners and space is Patrick Martin plentiful. The Andrew Kuns only returning Ryan Schlater player that has any outfield Newcomers experience is Andrew Kubuski Patrick Martin Jake Thomas (Oregon, Ohio) Alex Davison who is being Patrick Lancaster called upon to anchor centerfield this year for the Falcons. Martin primarily served as a left-handed pitching specialist but also played 22 games in the field as a defensive substitute in left field. Though last year’s .125 batting average (3-for-24) is an obvious area to improve upon, the redshirt-junior has speed to not only cover ground defensively but also move around the bases when he is aboard. To Martin’s right in left field is a former teammate from their days at Clay High School, Andrew Kuns (Oregon, Ohio). The sophomore will make the move from first base to the outfield mainly to find a way to keep his bat in the Falcon lineup every day. A super athlete in high school, Kuns’ transition is expected to be a smooth one and for what he is behind in defensively in the outfield, he is expected to make up for with his stick. The first freshman expected to get serious starting time will be right fielder Alex Davison (Grand Ledge, Mich.). The coaching staff believes that Davison has many of the qualities that look promising for development into a regular right fielder with a consistent bat, strong arm and defensive skills to help overcome inexperience in

the outfield. Freshmen Jake Thomas (Litchfield, Ohio), Patrick Lancaster (Woodhaven, Mich.) and Andrew Kubuski (Elyria, Ohio) will also play a significant role in finding additional options in the outfield. When Martin is on the hill, Kubuski with his speed and contact hitting skills is the early favorite to come off the bench to fill the vacancy. CATCHERS To support Coach Schmitz’s theory of “strong up the middle”, he returns one of his five seniors behind the dish with Ryan Schlater (St. Paris, Ohio). He is the Catchers lead candidate Returning Letterwinners to take the Ryan Schlater weekend starts Matt Vannett behind the plate and is the team’s Newcomers best defensive Jeremy Shay and offensive T.J. Losby backstops having hit .314 and slugged .466 with his five home runs in 2010. He also posted the third-highest fielding percentage on the team at a .971 clip. When he isn’t catching Schlater will also share duties in the outfield, having played mainly right field on his “days off ” in seasons past. Though not named a captain, he is a classic “lead by example” player who will be integral in developing all of the 14 Falcon freshmen. Matt Vannett (Bowling Green, Ohio), Michael Fahle (Woodville, Ohio) and T.J. Losby (Bryan, Ohio) are in the heat for the number two spot behind Schlater. Vannett appeared in 17 games and started 12 last season. Of the eight runners that attempted to steal a base against him, five were caught stealing.

Jeremy Shay (Garden City, Mich.) is also in the mix for reps behind the plate. Shay is a big, strong, right-handed hitting catcher who can also play the corner positions should he not have a spot behind the plate early in the season. His bat is his most valuable asset being a power hitting player but an outstanding arm will also contribute to the coaching staff sifting through his talents to find a permanent home as he matures into a full-time ball player. Losby is characterized as a phenomenal athlete whose overall talents will find him chances to play perhaps in different roles for the team. He still has very fresh legs since he only began catching late in his high school career but also bring inexperience to the position. His raw athletic ability is expected to be able to make up for the lack of experience as he will learn from Schlater, Vannett and the rest of the staff. Patrick Martin - R-Jr. - OF/LHP

Previewing the 2011 Falcons STARTING PITCHERS Bowling Green loses two-thirds of its weekend starting rotation with the departures of Kevin Leady and Brennan Smith, leaving only two Falcons with significant starting experience returning from the 2010 team. Both are sophomores and both are expected to compete for spots in the weekend starting rotation. Michael Frank (Maumee, Ohio) and Cody Apthorpe (Windham, Ohio) both started games for the Falcons this year, with Frank (12 GS, 2-4, 6.06 ERA) getting a majority of the starts on Saturdays early in the season. Apthorpe came on strong late, especially after a strong performance against the University of Michigan where he allowed only two hits and a run over five innings against the Wolverines. He finished the year with one of the healthiest earned run averages on the team (3.51), a 3-2 overall record with his final win in the Falcons second victory over Ball State in a MAC Tournament game. Also returning from injury is Matt Malewitz (Grand Rapids, Mich.), who missed the 2010 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Malewitz earned All-MAC honors in 2009 and is expected to serve as the team’s ace in 2010. Also in the mix for starting positions is Nick Bruns (Saint Henry, Ohio), who went 3-1 and started four games for the Falcons last season. Bruns is also a candidate for this year’s closer role with the departure of Patrick O’Brien so members of the freshman class may be called upon to contribute for weekday starts. Those freshmen being considered include Ethan McKenney (Defiance, Ohio), Kevin Delapaz (Plymouth, Mich.) and Chris Miller (Batesville, Ind.). All three have shown in their respective high school career that despite their different styles, they all can get batters out.

RELIEF PITCHERS Returning reliever Ross Gerdeman (Fort Jennings, Ohio) is set to serve as one of the key components to the Falcons’ bullpen after a hot start to 2010. Through the first two months of the season, Gerdeman held an ERA near 2.50 and held his spot as the Falcons’ top

middle reliever. Charles Wooten (Elmore, Ohio) will bring the heat for his senior season and contend for the closer’s role or serve in support to Gerdeman and the rest of the BGSU pitching staff. Patrick Martin (Oregon, Ohio) may spend a majority of his time as the team’s centerfielder to start, but will remain a top option against left-handed hitters, who hit only .244 against last season. Rounding out the options in the Falcon pen and bringing experience to the hill is left-hander Dan Parsons. Freshmen lefty Patrick Lancaster (Woodhaven, Mich.) and righty Ben Singer (Midland, Mich.) will also join the staff to add some versatility to the bullpen. COMING OFF THE DL Head coach Danny Schmitz and pitching coach Rick Blanc are looking for another year in which a Falcon pitcher who was sidelined the previous year returns off of injury and has a career year. Last season, graduated senior Kevin Leady returned to the hill and helped lead the Falcons to their third straight division title. This year, redshirt-junior Matt Malewitz returns from Tommy John surgery after having missed the 2010 campaign. The left-hander was named to the All-MAC team in 2009 after building a 4-1 conference record in nine starts, including one shutout. Working with an off-speed repertoire, Malewitz will likely serve as a top-end starter in the BGSU rotation. Last season, sophomore Matt Pitzulo (Poland, Ohio) put together an excellent rookie season, being named to the All-MAC Second Team in a utility role. However, nursing an arm injury for a majority of the season, Pitzulo underwent Tommy John surgery in the offseason and has been through an intensive rehabilitation program to be ready by the beginning of the season. All signs indicate that the sophomore will be healthy and ready to play, but may begin as either the team’s designated hitter, a role he held most of last season, or if he is of good health he will move to be the everyday second baseman. THE SCHEDULE - IN BRIEF The Falcons’ 55-game schedule will provide the team challenges and allow time to sort through a young, talented roster. The team begins with two trips to Kentucky, much like it did in 2010, but this time face off against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (Bowling Green, Ky.) and Murray State Racers (Murray, Ky.). The season opens on Feb. 18 against WKU for a three-game set on the road. Bowling Green then heads to Florida for their annual spring trip and will participate in the RussMatt Invitational for the third year in a row. The team will play eight games in as many days between Winter Haven and Auburndale, Fla. from March 5 to March 12.

Cody Apthorpe - So. - RHP The home opener at Warren Steller Field is set for March 15 against Indiana State University and will be followed the next day by a second home game against the University of Northwest Ohio. The Falcons will play in ten additional non-conference games following those two, including Big Ten opponents Ohio State and Michigan. Twenty-one games will be played in-conference, twelve of which at home. Bowling Green opens its conference slate on the road against Northern Illinois on March 25 and brings MAC action back to Warren Steller Field to begin the month of April. This year’s MAC Tournament will again be held in Chillicothe, Ohio from May 25 to May 28.

Head Coach Danny Schmitz The Schmitz File

Full Name: Daniel John Schmitz Date Appointed: August 28, 1990 Date of Birth: March 1, 1955 Place of Birth: Detroit, Michigan Hometown: Ferndale, Michigan High School: Hazel Park High School ‘73 Education: Eastern Michigan ‘79 Record at BGSU/Seasons: 548-486-5/20 Career Record: 548-486-5/20 Family: Wife, Cindy; son, Spencer; daughter, Jamie To fully appreciate how far the Bowling Green State University baseball program has come under the guidance of head coach Danny Schmitz, you only have to consider what his teams have accomplished. Over the last 15 years, the program has averaged almost 30 wins per season, won seven regular-season and/or division titles in the Mid-American Conference, won two MAC Tournament titles - and the NCAA Tournament bid that goes with that, and his teams have qualified for the conference tournament eight times. Prior to Schmitz’s arrival, the program had one MAC title, in 1972, on its resume. Before hitting the halfway point of the 2009 season, Schmitz reached a milestone that only 68 active baseball coaches on the Division I level have reached in their tenures. Having needed only 11 wins to accomplished the feat, last year’s Falcons helped loft Schmitz to 500 career wins and beyond when Bowling Green defeated the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. on March 31, 2009 in an 8-3 decision. With the Falcons’ 28 wins a year ago, Schmitz now has 517 career wins on his resume. Schmitz, the 10th skipper in the 90-year history of the sport at BGSU, and just the fifth since 1928, has left his mark not only with the Brown and Orange, but in the Mid-American Conference and beyond. Well over half of his career victories, 353, have come in the last 11 seasons at Bowling Green, including six of his seven 30-plus win seasons. Twelve of his last 16 teams have finished better than .500, with eight of those teams playing better than .600 baseball. And while he has consistently put winning teams on the field, Schmitz has also seen his teams achieve another goal they have each season - winning championships. Included in that stretch have been six Mid-American Conference division championships (over the last 10 years), four MAC regular-season championships (over the last 13 seasons), two MAC Tournament titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 10 years. A coach who is widely-recognized for developing players, Schmitz has had four All-Americans, two MAC Players of the Year, seven draft picks, and six additional players sign as free agents since 2000. Nolan Reimold was selected in the second round of the 2005 MLB draft by Baltimore while Corey Loomis was taken in the 21st round in the 2002 draft by Detroit. Kelly Hunt heard his name in the 29th round of the 2003 draft by Detroit, and Burke Badenhop was a 19th-round selection by Detroit in the 2005 draft. The ace of the 2006 staff, Alan Brech, was selected by the Cleveland Indians that summer

in the 35th round. Most recently, current BGSU Falcon outfielder Derek Spencer was taken by the Kansas City Royals in the 42nd round of last season’s draft. In 18 years at the helm, Schmitz has had 26 players drafted or sign professional contracts, including majorleaguer Andy Tracy, who was a member of the Philadephia Phillies squad that captured the 2008 World Championship. Badenhop, the Tigers minor league Pitcher of the Year in 2007, was traded to Florida in the off season and made his major league debut on April 9 last season. He made eight starts and had 13 appearances in his first season in the majors. Reimold played in the 2006 All-Star Futures Game and is on the 40-man roster as the Orioles go to spring training in 2009. Schmitz came to BG with an abundance of baseball experience from almost every conceivable level. His primary goal upon arriving on campus in August of 1990 was to rebuild Falcon baseball’s winning tradition. He and his staff have done just that and more. In just five short years after his arrival on campus, Schmitz lifted Bowling Green from the depths of the Mid-American Conference standings to a program that is respected across the country and is in the hunt for conference honors on a yearly basis. The Falcons made school history in 1994 when they qualified for the league tournament for the first time after placing third during the regular season. BG’s conference mark of 16-10 was the school’s best since 1980 (not including divisional play in 1982 and 1983). The Falcons ended the year with an overall ledger of 29-18, the team’s highest victory total in five years. The Brown and Orange improved six spots in the league standings from the year before and

advanced to postseason play of any kind for the first time since 1972. For his efforts, Schmitz became the school’s first MAC Coach of the Year honoree. BGSU not only returned to the MAC Tournament in 1995, but recorded its first conference title in 23 seasons, as the team posted an impressive league mark of 22-8 and were 34-20 overall. It was the second-highest win total in school history while BGSU earned the right to host the MAC Tournament. And for the second consecutive season, Schmitz was named MAC Coach of the Year. In 1998, the Falcons took yet another step forward as it won the MAC East Division title, captured the MAC Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in school history. BGSU’s first appearance was in 1972. BGSU finished 34-21 in 1998, including 17-10 in the conference. The 1999 squad repeated its performance from the previous year by claiming the MAC East Division title, winning the conference tournament and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament. The Falcons set several team marks and tied a school record with 36 victories overall and 22 wins in league play. The 2000 season saw BGSU’s power surge continue when many team records for a season were broken, including the marks for doubles (121) and homers (46). Many individual season batting records were also challenged in the 2000 campaign. Bowling Green finished 19-5 at Steller Field. Bowling Green tied a school record with 36 victories in 2001 en route to the MAC East Division title. On their way the the 36 wins, the Falcons led the nation in team batting average (.360) and team slugging percentage (.599). BGSU broke a staggering seven school records in

Head Coach Danny Schmitz 2001, including runs scored (534), home runs (104), total bases (1,187), RBIs (492), doubles (135), batting average (.360) and hits (712). Over the last seven years, the program has continued to prosper with two MAC regular season and division titles to go with three MAC Tournament appearances. The Falcons used a 12-game win streak, second-longest in school history, to propel them to the MAC regular season and division titles last season and a berth in the MAC Tournament. A 1973 graduate of Hazel Park High, Schmitz earned four letters as a second baseman at Eastern Michigan between 1974-77. During his career at EMU, he played a big role in the Hurons (now Eagles) winning back-to-back MAC titles in 1975 and 1976, thus earning the right to host the NCAA Mideast Regional Championships. On both occasions, the Green and White, which had future big-league pitchers Bob Welch (1990 Cy Young Award winner) and Bob Owchinko on its staff, won the regional tournament to advance to the College World Series. In 1975, the Hurons won their first game in the CWS (2-1 over Florida State in 10 innings), but were eliminated when they fell in their next two contests. The following year, EMU became one of only two MAC teams to advance to the CWS final. Schmitz and the Hurons won their first three games in the series before losing to Arizona twice - including a 7-1 decision in the title contest - to fall just short of the championship trophy. For his outstanding play, Schmitz was named to the all-tournament squad. He was an honorable mention All-MAC pick his junior season. EMU was ranked third in the final Collegiate Baseball poll, up five spots from its final rating the year before. Following the CWS, Schmitz played with Team USA, serving as captain of the squad which went to Korea and Taiwan.

At the conclusion of his senior campaign, during which he was co-captain, earned team â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most Valuable Playerâ&#x20AC;? honors, and hit a career-high .339, Schmitz was drafted in the 20th round by the New York Yankees. He joined the Yankee rookie team in Oneonta right after the draft and helped his new club to a league crown - the first of five teams in a six-year span that would earn titles with the assistance of Schmitz. The Ferndale, Mich., native then made the big jump to AAA for the 1978 season playing for Tacoma before spending the 1979 year in Columbus under manager Gene Michael. In 1980, Schmitz played in Nashville for former Yankee manager Stump Merrill prior to going back to Columbus for both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. He completed his eight-year minor league career with stops in Tidewater (Mets affiliate) in 1983 and Toledo (then Twins affiliate) in 1984, where he also began his instructional career serving as player-coach. In 1985, the Minnesota Twins hired Schmitz to manage their Class A affiliate, Visalia, in the California League. In his second year at the helm, he led Visalia to the second half Northern Division pennant and a spot in the championship series. After his stint at Visalia, Schmitz returned to his alma mater, where he spent three campaigns as an assistant coach under Roger Coryell. During that time the Hurons finished second in both the 1988 and 1990 MAC races. In his final year as an assistant, EMU won more league contests (20) than any other team, but finished one game behind league champion Central Michigan. Born March 1, 1955, the BGSU field boss earned his undergraduate degree from EMU in 1979 in physical education. He also started work toward his graduate degree in physical education while coaching at EMU.

Bowling Green sealed its third straight MAC East title when Derek Spencer helped the Falcons won the season finale versus Buffalo with a walk-off, solo home run on May 20, 2011.

The 2008 team captured the Mid-American Conference East Division title and the regular-season championship after winning the last 11 games of the regular season, 10 of those league games, before extending that winning streak by taking the first game of the MAC Tournament.

BGSU Facilities - Steller Field The Bowling Green State University baseball team plays its home games at Warren E. Steller Field, one of the Midwest’s finest baseball facilities. Steller Field features seating for 1,100 spectators, a spacious press box, a pair of batting cages, and one of the best-groomed playing surfaces in the country. Located between the BGSU Ice Arena and the Forrest Creason Golf Course, Steller Field is situated at the corner of Mercer Road and Stadium Drive in the northeastern section of campus. On many occasions, home runs land on the 16th fairway of the golf course behind the left-field fence. Steller Field is named in honor of Warren Steller, who served at BGSU for 41 years, including a lengthy stint as athletic director from 1924-41. A graduate of Oberlin College, he was also an outstanding athlete and coach. Steller guided the fortunes of five Falcon sports, including baseball and football. He compiled a 221-154 (.589) mark over 31 seasons as baseball mentor and an 11-year record of 40-21-19 as the gridiron tactician. His 1944 baseball team captured the mythical Ohio state crown with a 20-3 ledger. Steller, who led BG to three Northwestern Ohio Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships, was also head of the University’s physical education department. Steller Field began a facelift in the summer of 2001 when seating was re-done to create a better atmosphere for the Falcon fans and players. The project included new bench seating, press box and backstop. The project was completed by the 2002 baseball season. After the conclussion of the 2009 season, new dugouts that featured heating units, more spacious layouts and additional equipment storage were constructed through the generosity of a collection of alumni and donors. Following the 2010 season, those dugouts were lined with graphics honoring those who so generously gave toward the project. In 1972, the Mid-American Conference champion Falcons hosted the NCAA Midwest Regional (District IV) tournament and narrowly missed a trip to the College World Series. BG finished the season ranked 13th in the final Collegiate Baseball rankings. Steller Field has also been the site of the Mid-American Conference Tournament three times - in 1995 after the Falcons captured the league’s regularseason title, in 1998 following the Brown and Orange’s East Division championship, and again in 2002 when BGSU won the MAC regular-season title. In past years, Steller Field has served as home to the Ohio American Legion District Tournament, the now defunct Bowling Green Breeze (1988-91) of the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League, numerous professional try-out camps and clinics, and BGSU’s popular summer baseball camp. Steller Field has also hosted games for the Great Black Swamp Classic (Connie Mack) since its inaugural season in 1997. The dimensions at Steller Field, dedicated May 26, 1964, are 340’ down the lines in left and right field, 375’ in the power alleys and 400’ to straightaway center field. Bowling Green has compiled a record of 396-270-7 (.594) at Steller Field since its completion in 1963. The Falcons have posted a 169-82 mark (.673) at home over the last 12 seasons. Warren Steller Field has seen two conference tournament champion, five MAC regular season title-winning and seven MACEast Division champion teams play on its surface. It is known this year as the home of the three-time defending MAC East Champion Falcons.

WHY...

THE FALCONS?

The 2008-09 athletic year marks the 81st anniversary of Bowling Green’s nickname, Falcons. Before 1927, BG teams were called the Normals or Teachers. Ivan Lake ’23 suggested the nickname after reading an article on falconry. Lake, managing editor and sports editor of the Sentinel Tribune in Bowling Green at the time, proposed the name change because it fit headline space and because falcons were “the most powerful bird for their size and often attacked birds two or three times their size.”

ORANGE & BROWN?

Orange and brown have been the school colors at Bowling Green State University since 1914, the first year of classes. Legend has it that Leon Winslow, an industrial arts faculty member, got the idea from seeing a woman’s hat on a bus to nearby Toledo, Ohio. He liked the brown and orange color combination. So, too, did former Cleveland Browns head coach Paul Brown. Following a trip to BGSU in the 1940s, Brown used the colors for his All-America Football Conference team, which joined the NFL in 1950.

FREDDIE & FRIEDA FALCON?

Freddie and Frieda Falcon are the official mascots of the Bowling Green Falcons. Together with the BGSU cheerleaders, Frieda and Freddie boost spirit at intercollegiate athletic events. Tryouts are held each spring, and winners remain anonymous to the student body until each is “beheaded” at the last home basketball and hockey game. The Freddie Falcon tradition began in 1950 while Frieda Falcon was added for the 1979-80 athletic year.

As part of its marketing push heading into 2011 and beyond, BGSU Athletics is encouraging Falcon fans everywhere to begin using the greeting “Roll Along!” with one another. Taken straight from the lyrics of Ay Ziggy Zoomba, the Official BGSU Spirit Song, “Roll Along!” is also being incorporated into all marketing collateral as the department’s new call to action.
