Barry McKnight is in his sixth season as the play-by-play “Voice of the Trojans.” A veteran of the broadcast industry, McKnight also serves as the co-host of a sports talk radio show on WMSP-AM 740 in Montgomery, where he has worked for parts of the last eight years. He has also worked in television broadcasting, serving as the primary play-by-play announcer for College Sports Southeast’s football, basketball and baseball coverage from 1997-2001. A nine-time winner of Associated Press awards for broadcast excellence, McKnight is a member of the American Sportscasters Association and National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. 4

Media Info Media Information The 2007 Troy University Baseball Media Guide has been prepared to assist members of the media in their coverage of the Trojan baseball team throughout the season. Should you have any questions, please contact the Troy Athletics Media Relations Office at (334) 670-3832 or 5834.
Media Relations Office The Troy University Athletics Media Relations Office is located on the Fifth Floor of the new Movie Gallery Stadium Press Box Facility, adjacent to the main entrance of RiddlePace Field.

Jason Wright’s office is in the Visiting Radio Booth.
E-mail Updates While game notes and statistics will be distributed to the local media on a regular basis, members of the media may request that they be added to the Media Relations Office’s baseball e-mail group. Subscribers will receive game notes, game stories and other breaking news. To subscribe, simply contact Director of Athletics Media Relations Ricky Hazel at jehazel@troy.edu and ask to be added to the e-mail list.

Post-game Interviews Following a 10-minute “cooling-off ” period, all postgame interviews will be conducted on the field outside the dugouts.
Photographers Cameras will be allowed on the Riddle-Pace Field playing surface during games, but only after prior arrangement and approval through the Media Relations office. Photographers are encouraged to shoot from the outfield sides of the dugouts or the photo deck just below the press box.

2007 Outlook Expectations Not A Problem for Trojans in 2007 For Troy University head baseball coach Bobby Pierce, who enters his fifth season with the Trojans this spring, the most difficult challenge in 2007 may be living up to expectations. Back-to-back conference championships – Atlantic Sun in 2005 and Sun Belt in 2006 – have elevated expectations across the board. The Trojans enter 2007 as a solid NCAA Regional contender, are the preseason favorites to repeat as Sun Belt Conference champions, and enter the year ranked nationally by Collegiate Baseball. Despite those high expectations from others, the highest expectations come from the Trojans themselves. After tasting NCAA Regional competition last spring for the first time since 1997, the returning members of the squad have set higher goals for themselves this spring. Those expectations are much bigger than outside expectations could possibly match. “I don’t think our players care either way about preseason picks,” Pierce said. “Those kinds of things can have an effect on a team, but we have such good senior leadership that I expect it to affect this team much less.” Reaching those goals will be, in great part, determined by the Trojans’ ability to replace a quartet of highly decorated players from the 2006 squad. The team lost a pair of juniors – Tom King and Mike Felix – in the opening rounds of the Major League Baseball amateur draft. The squad also lost a group of seniors – keyed by Jared Keel and Blake Green – who anchored back-to-back league titles. But, the high expectations come not because of what was lost, but because of the returning cast that includes 15 seniors in 2007. “We do have a lot of returning experience,” Pierce said. “The experience we have is greater and deeper than even what we had in 2005, and that is a great advantage. Realistically, the loss of King hurt us because we weren’t prepared for that loss, but we were very close to losing several others and having those players back leaves us in good shape.” Fan expectations for the Trojans are also fueled by a challenging schedule this spring. The slate opens with Arkansas, a preseason favorite to reach the College World Series, and includes non10

conference dates with other 2006 Regional teams like Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Alabama, Jacksonville State, Michigan and Mississippi state. The slate also includes dates with solid programs like Coastal Carolina, and the 30-game conference schedule. “I think this team is ready for this schedule,” Pierce said. “I think this schedule is going to bring us a little more exposure and credibility on the national level and it provides our players with great of opportunity. “I said the same thing last year, and our players were able to answer the challenge.” As with any team, the players will determine if reality meets expectations. For the 2007 Trojans, those expectations are as high as they have ever been.
Craze Anchors Revamped Outfield Senior center fielder Ian Craze knows all about expectations. When he joined the Troy program last year, all he had to do was replace a conference player of the year. While there are differences between the way Craze plays center from the style that led Adam Godwin to that award in 2005, the Ohio native is poised
2007 Outlook
Ben Woods is returning to the Trojan outfield. Troy was 312 when Woods started in 2006 to have a breakout season of his own this spring. “I know that Ian is comfortable in his role this year,” Pierce said. “He started last year trying to live up to the expectations everyone had put on him in replacing Adam. Ian responded to that and had a fine year – his numbers (.336 average, 61 runs, 19 stolen bases) speak for themselves, but he is a little more comfortable and relaxed now.” It is Craze’s defense that is the key to his game as much as what he contributes from the top of the Trojans’ batting order. During the 2006 season, he had a perfect fielding percentage while starting 57 of 63 games in center. “He is one of the better, overall, center fielders that I have coached, and that puts him into a class with Adam Godwin,” Pierce said. “Offensively, Ian is very comparable to Adam, even from a stolen base standpoint. The difference is that we do not need Ian to steal as many bases because we think we are better swinging the bats than stealing bases.” Craze will be flanked by a combination of players in left and right field, with senior Ben Woods making the move from right to left to open the 2007 season. “Ben is a blue collar type player who just refuses to have any let downs and refuses to let teammates have any let downs,” Pierce said. “We have other guys who may hit a little better, or play a little better defense, and they will get their chances, but, at the end of the day,
you have to have your winners on the field. Woods is, obviously, a winner. Troy was 31-2 last season in games Woods started and, in his athletics career, the Ozark native has 10 championship rings, including two with the Trojans. He posted a .306 average in 40 games last year and will hit in the sixth spot in the lineup this spring. Junior college transfer Bryan Miller, who came to Troy after two seasons at Mesa Community College in Arizona, won the starting job in right field during the fall. Both he and Woods will be pushed throughout the season by senior Kevin Weidlich, who saw spot duty at both spots last spring. “Miller has a successful history of hitting at every level he has played,” Pierce said. “He is a good athlete and a really good defender. He is more of a gap-style hitter. “Weidlich has continued to improve and has a great history of being a competitive hitter. Kevin is a coach’s dream because he is a guy who always stays ready. He came up big in big spots every time we called on him last year.” Two freshmen, Grant Luke and Steven Felix, will serve as understudies in the outfield. Felix, the younger brother of Mike, may also see playing time at third base and behind the plate. The wild card in the outfield situation comes from first base. Senior Clint Robinson worked over the summer to prepare for time in right field, which may be an option for the Trojans. “I would like to be able to open a slot for our young, talented, hitter Matt Tanzi,” Pierce said. “To get his bat in the lineup, at the DH spot, means that both Clint and Josh Dew have to be in the field. We have experimented with Clint in right and he has shown that he can make the plays he is supposed to make. We also know that we have Ian in center to cover if we need him.”
Dew-Robinson Combo To Provide Pop While the Trojans will be forced to replace All-Conference performers at shortstop and third base, they also return All-Conference players at first and second base in Dew, Robinson and Edgar Ramirez. Having two all-league caliber players at the same position might sound like a problem, but not for the Trojans. Last season, when Dew played first base, Robinson was the DH and vice-versa. The 11

same situation will apply in 2007, but with the added twist of the talented Tanzi. The fourth piece to that puzzle is senior Matt Carlo, who is the best defensive player of the four. Dew and Robinson will hit in the middle of the batting order for the Trojans and will be expected to provide the power and run-producing ability they showed last year. The duo combined for 25 home runs and 105 RBI in 2006. While Pierce admits that he’d like to be able to slide Dew into the DH role more often in order to save him for his second job, that of closer, he said that the All-American brings something special to the field. “Dew is a presence on the field,” Pierce said. “For whatever reason, our team just seems to play better with him on the field. I understand that, but he is also one of the best closers in the nation and he is potentially in harm’s way playing first base.” Dew starts the year out on multiple award Watch Lists and preseason All-America teams. He was also the only Trojan named to the preseason All-Sun Belt squad, as a relief pitcher, but more impressive, Dew named the preseason Player of the Year. Robinson is the only four-year starter during 12
The Trojans feature one of the top second basemen in the Sun Belt Conference in senior Edgar Ramirez, who earned second team All-Conference honors last spring. The Arizona native had shoulder surgery following the season and missed the fall, but is on pace to be ready for the start of the season. “Ramirez, of course, returns at second base and is one of the premier players in the conference, certainly at that position,” Pierce said. “I like having Ramirez in the two hole (where he hit most of 2006), but I also like the idea of him hitting in the five hole behind Dew and Robinson. When teams try to pitch around those two he provides a solid RBI threat.” Ramirez will be backed up by sophomore Brett Pierce, who redshirted in 2006, and Trevor Tyre, a transfer from Chipola Junior College. Tyre was recruited to compete for the job at third base, which is what he played at Chipola. “We like him better as a second baseman, but he worked at both spots in the fall and showed good instincts,” Pierce said. “He will be a solid backup for Ramirez and may play some third as well.” Sophomore Brett Henry won the open competition to

2007 Outlook replace Keel at third base in the fall. He edged out senior Ramon Orsini, who will see plenty of playing time as well. Felix also figures into the mix at the hot corner. “We are really excited about Brett Henry and his offensive potential,” Pierce said. “He is a very competitive player who has waited patiently for his turn. Ramon is right there with him, but Brett has shown more consistency. There will be some opportunities for Ramon to DH some as well as play third.” The big hole to fill in the infield is at shortstop and the jury is still out as to who will emerge as the starter to replace record-setting All-American Tom King. In addition to the offensive production King brought to the game (.411, 35 doubles, eight homers and 73 RBI) he was also a steady hand at short, where he started every game and committed only 16 errors. Newcomer Charlie Calamia, who joins the Trojans after spending the last two years at Mesa Community College, and redshirt freshman Bart Pettus from Demopolis, Ala., battled throughout the fall for the starting job. That race continued right into January and both are expected to see playing time early in the season. “It is a very tight race,” Pierce said. “More than likely we will start the season with a combination of the two. Both guys will play until things settle in and it could very well be a left-right combination that could stay that way.” The wild card at shortstop is freshman walk-on Shohei Fujita, an international student from Japan, who joined the team this spring after a tryout in the fall. “We think he has a very bright future,” Pierce said. “He is a good athlete, a switch-hitter who is good with the bat. We are going to work very hard to see where he fits in. We do plan to get him in there when we can.” The coaching staff is reluctant to put too much pressure on Fujita early because he did not go through fall practice with the team due to eligibility issues. That being said, if he is able to meet expectations, he could fill a key slot in the batting order. “We don’t know enough about him yet to know if he can be the two-hole hitter,” Pierce said. “His style of play is perfect for that spot. From the left side he is like Ichiro in that he slaps the ball around and uses his speed. From the right side he sits back more and has some surprising pop. “What I don’t want to do is put too much pressure on him. He may not play at all this year, but he may be our shortstop. I just want to let things happen and

see where they go.”
Experience Returns Behind the Plate The Trojans return their top two catchers from 2006 in junior Josh Blackwell and sophomore Beau Brooks. Both should again see significant time in 2007, with their combination of hitting from both sides of the plate giving Troy a lot of versatility. “What we like is they give us a left-right combination,” Pierce said. “We can platoon them or we can set it up where the pitchers throw to the guy he likes to work with. We can pinch run late and have another guy to come in. There is a lot of flexibility they allow us to have. “The thing about Josh and Beau is that they are such great teammates that when one is playing, the other is his biggest fan. They are both extremely hard workers and are very competitive. They both just want the Trojans to win, and however 13
2007 Outlook that happens is fine with them.” A pair of freshmen, Felix and Johnny Gunter, could also see time behind the plate. Because of his ability to play multiple positions, Felix will likely serve as the third catcher while Gunter, who Pierce says has a very bight future, may redshirt. “Trying to find playing time for him will be difficult this year,” Pierce said. “When he gets going, he has the potential to be as good as the other two. In the fall, redshirting was not in the conversation for Gunter but, because of our depth, it is now.”
Strong Arms Anchor Deep Pitching Staff The 2007 Trojans return virtually their entire pitching staff from last year, with one glaring exception. Mike Felix was the anchor for the Trojans last spring, leading the team in innings pitched, wins, ERA and strikeouts while working as both a starter and reliever. More than once he was called in from right field early in games and asked to take it to Dew in the ninth and, time-after-time, he delivered. After the season, Felix was taken in the second round of the MLB amateur draft by Pittsburgh and took his talents to the professional ranks. The other key loss to the pitching staff was that of coach Todd Lamberth, who had served as pitch-

ing coach for Pierce since 1999 at UAH. In his place comes Jeff Crane, who has most recently been scouting in professional baseball. “You are always concerned about players getting onto the same page with a new coach, but Jeff did a very good job of earning their respect,” Pierce said. “With his experience in professional baseball he can help our pitchers grow by letting them know what it takes to succeed at the next level.” Crane and the Trojans are blessed to have a host of experienced players returning in 2007. While no one player will shoulder the type of load Felix had, the staff will have clearly defined duties. “Our starting pitching going into this year is deeper and more talented and that is a credit to our returning pitchers,” Pierce said. “What we want to do is have our five starters, our three late-inning guys and the rest will be gap guys. Those guys will get plenty of time early to move up but, once the starters start to stretch out, their opportunities will be reduced.” The name at the top of the list of starters for the Trojans’ pitching staff will be senior Clegg Snipes. The Tallahassee native returns after posting a 7-0 record in 2006. Over the summer he had a near-death experience while pitching in Arizona, the result of an asthma attack, but he returned to campus stronger and more focused than ever. “Snipes is a competitor who wants the ball every Friday night,” Pierce said. “He is a sinker ball pitcher, who has worked extremely hard since the end of last season. Along with his fastball and changeup, he has added a cut fastball to his arsenal. “Snipes is ready, he is better and he’s confident. He wants to be the lead guy, without being arrogant about it. He has a lot of confidence and is ready to roll.” Snipes will be followed in the rotation again by senior left-hander Joe Hallahan. The St. Louis native missed all of fall practice due to a sore shoulder, but should be ready to take the mound early in the season, if not the opening weekend. “If he is ready, and he says that he is, then he will go in the two hole again,” Pierce said. “If he is not ready, then it will be Ricky Ibarz or Ryan Ellison, and we’ll have to flip a coin between the two of them because they both have strengths and either is fine with me.”
2007 Outlook Hallahan posted a 6-3 record in 14 starts last spring Rob Brown, Tim Wheeler and J.J. Whetsel and leftwith a 4.15 ERA. He was second to Felix in innings pitched hander Jonathan Sabat. “J.J. is a catch-all for us in that he can do it all with and proved himself to be a consistent strike thrower.

He led all of college baseball and was named A-Sun Player of the Year as the Trojans rolled through what would be their final season in the league, winning the league title by a comfortable four games. Three other seniors – pitchers Landon Brazell and Brent Adcock, along with catcher Henry Gutierrez – also earned All-Conference honors that year, with Adcock earning conference Pitcher of the Year honors. For Pierce, the hardware was for Coach of the Year, his first such award at Troy. “When you have that quality of players and that quality of leadership, great things can happen,” Pierce said. “That championship came a little earlier than we thought when we first started rebuilding this program.” But, even with the championship, the season ended in disappointment in 2005. The Trojans were unable to win the league tournament and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, and, when selections were announced, Troy was disappointed to

Coaching Staff NCAA Tournament invitation, the Trojans left no room for error by sweeping through the Sun Belt Tournament to earn an automating bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Regional berth sent Pierce back to Tuscaloosa where he had been an All-SEC West Division player for Alabama in 1980-81. The Trojans posted a pair of wins over Southern Miss, the only team to have swept a three-game series from Troy during the season, but were unable to defeat the host team. Both King and Felix were named to All-America teams after the season and both juniors were selected high in the MLB draft and left the program after only one outstanding season. Together with Jared Keel, Todd Nichols, Moore, Godwin, Gutierrez and Brazell, Pierce has sent eight players into the ranks of professional baseball in just the last three seasons. But, for Pierce, reaching an NCAA Regional is not the end goal. He and his coaching staff are still working his plan. “In the grand scheme, this was the year we had hoped to have the foundation built, have experience in the program, and we are on the right track with that,” Pierce said. “The next step for our program is to prove consistently that we are a regional type program. From that point, reaching Omaha is just five wins away.”
The Road To Troy A Marianna, Fla., native, Pierce was no stranger to Troy when he arrived as head coach in 2003. He originally enrolled at Troy as a freshman in the fall of 1977 before transferring to South Florida Community College in January 1978. He played the 1979 season at Wallace Community College in Dothan and then signed with the University of Alabama in 1980. As a senior co-captain in 1981, Pierce set numerous school records as an All-SEC outfielder. Pierce was honored after his playing career by being named to the Crimson Tide’s All-Century team. Following his graduation in 1982, the then 23-year-old
became the youngest head coach in Florida junior college history when he accepted the Chipola Junior College position. In his first season, the school finished 41-15 and won the Florida state junior college championship, helping him earn Panhandle Conference and Florida Junior College Coach of the Year honors. Chipola won four Panhandle Conference championships, earned five state tournament berths, with one title, and won 40 or more games four times under Pierce. In addition, more than 75 percent of his players signed scholarships at four-year institutions, more than 95 percent of which eventually earned their degrees. In seven seasons, Pierce’s squads at Chipola posted a 25995 overall record. After the 1989 season, Pierce returned to his alma mater as Alabama’s top assistant coach. In five years, he served as recruiting coordinator, coached the offense and outfielders, served as third base coach and coordinated the program’s summer camps. During his stay at Alabama Pierce coached his first Division I All-American, outfielder Joe Vitiello, who went on to enjoy a seven-year career in the Major Leagues. He was one of 16 players from Alabama to advance into professional baseball during Pierce’s time there. After five seasons as an assistant coach, Pierce was named the first head baseball coach in history at the University of Alabama-Huntsville. In a short time, Pierce established himself, and the Charger baseball program, as one of the best in the nation. Pierce coached several All-Conference, All-Region and All-America players while at UAH and 10 players went on to have professional careers after playing at UAH. Pierce served on the Division II All-America Committee in each of his last two years at UAH. During his time in Huntsville, Pierce posted a 276-108 record in seven seasons. He guided the Chargers to the 2001 Gulf South Conference title and four NCAA regional tournament appearances after founding the program in 1995. His squads also won three GSC East Division crowns and advanced to the conference tournament championship game four times. He was named the GSC’s 2001 Coach of the Year after helping the Chargers finish 41-17 and earn a top 10 national ranking. Pierce is married to the former Kay Walls of Chipley, Fla., a health teacher at Charles Henderson High School. The couple has three children – Lance (21), a junior at Troy, Lauren (20), a sophomore at Troy, and Logan (17), a junior at Charles Henderson.

The Diamond Dolls provide a number of services to the baseball team during the year. They can be seen selling tickets, retrieving foul balls and assisting in other game-day operations. One of the group’s biggest responsibilities for the future of the baseball program is their help in recruiting. In addition to game-day duties, the Diamond Dolls also provide treats for the Trojan players, supplying the athletes with sweets, gum and sunflower seeds. “The Troy Diamond Dolls are one of the most cordial groups I have ever been associated with,” head coach Bobby Pierce said. “They are a wonderful group of girls.” The Diamond Dolls are easy to spot during Troy home games because of their friendly smiles and Diamond Dolls uniforms.

2006 In Review
During the 2006 season, Tom King re-wrote the season record books at Troy, in the Sun Belt Conference and the NCAA with his national best 35 doubles. King set school and conference records for doubles and hits in a season in earning All-America honors. 73

ULL knew that it needed to got the victory they needed to turn things in the right direction. That victory quickly turned into a ninegame win streak that included a road sweep at Memphis where the Trojans scored 55 runs in three games. But, as all streaks eventually do, this one came to an end in a series at Southern Miss when Troy dropped three straight heartbreakers to the Golden Eagles. The disappointment of the performance in Hattiesburg was quickly forced from the minds of the Troy players, who went to Tuscaloosa for a meeting with Alabama the next week. It was the first time for coach Bobby Pierce to take a team back to his alma mater. The Trojans took an 8-5 win over the Tide, and it was a win that seemed to propel the team into the meat of the schedule. After a sweep of Mississippi Valley and a home win over Auburn, the Trojans opened Sun Belt play at home against traditional league power South Alabama. The Jaguars already owned a non-conference win over Troy, but the Trojans The Trojans won the Sun Belt in their first year in the conference with a 20-4 record.

2006 In Review win the series to have a chance at the league title, and the Cajuns played well in winning the opener 15-7. Troy responded behind the pitching of Joe Hallahan and Josh Dew, who worked the final four innings, to take a 3-1 victory. The final game of the series would determine whether Troy left Lafayette with a two game lead and the tiebreaker, or whether the teams would enter the final two weeks tied atop the standings. When Troy chased ULL starter Jason Fernandez in the fourth inning the Trojans felt good about their chances against the Cajuns’ bull-pen. ULL turned to closer Danny Farquhar and he turned in the effort of the year, holding Troy to just two hits and one run over the final five 1/3 innings as ULL took a 6-5 victory. With Troy and ULL tied, the Trojans ventured to Arkansas to face UALR and once again found their offensive stroke. In the sweep Troy scored 43 runs and Dew earned national player of the week honors with four homers and 11 RBI plus a victory on the mound. While Troy was sweeping UALR, ULL dropped a game to Middle Tennessee, meaning a Trojans sweep of the Blue Raiders on the final weekend of the season would give Troy the league title. The Trojans took the first game 4-2 before trouncing MTSU 18-1 in the second game. All Troy needed was one more victory for a second straight league title, but it would not be easy. Behind a little-used freshman pitcher, the Raiders held a 6-1 lead on Troy going to the bottom of the eighth inning. But, for a Troy team and a Troy season that was filled with magic, the home eighth was the most magical of all. Slowly Troy chipped away at the deficit, but when a double-play grounder left the bases empty, the Trojans were still down by one. Senior Blake Green solved that problem with a solo homer to left. Another senior, Dru Rymer followed with a walk and then scored all the way from first on a pinchhit single to right by Kevin Weidlich. Three outs later the Trojans had their league title. They followed the next weekend by sweeping through the Sun Belt Tournament, earning a No. 2 seed in the Tuscaloosa Regional where they would be matched up against the same Southern Miss team that had swept them in March. The Trojans earned a 10-8 victory over USM for the right to face the host Alabama club on the same field where the season had turned for Troy. This time Blake Green played a vital role in the suc- luck went against the Trojans and Alabama cess of the Trojans.

Sunday, but the Trojans were out of gas when they had to face Alabama again that evening. The final loss left Troy with a 47-16 record for the season. The 47 victories were the most for a Troy team since moving to Division I and the second most in a season in school history. Along the way the Trojans rewrote a large portion of the Troy baseball record book. Among the 25 records set by the team in 2006 were runs scored (579), hits (790), doubles (157), RBI (524), total bases (1221), putouts (1705), assists (711), saves (14), and strikeouts by pitchers (541). Junior shortstop Tom King set nine school records by himself in a magical season that earned him All-America honors and ended in his selection by the San Diego Mike Felix earned All-Sun Belt as Padres in the 8th round an outfielder.

King also set the Sun Belt record with a 31-game hitting streak and broke the old league mark for consecutive at bats with a hit not once, but twice, with nine straight at bats with a hit. Joining King in the draft, outfielder/pitcher Mike Felix, who also earned All-America honors, became the highest drafted player in the Troy baseball history when he was selected early in the second round by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Senior third baseman Jared Keel was also drafted by the Pirates, in the 31st round. Other honors won by the Trojans included three first team All-Sun Belt picks (King, Felix and Dew) along with four second team picks (Felix, Keel, Clint Robinson and Edgar Ramirez). Felix became the first player named first and second team AllConference in the same season, earning first team as an outfielder and second team as a pitcher. King was named the league’s newcomer of the year while Pierce earned his second straight conference coach of the year honor after winning the award from the Atlantic Sun in 2005. Following the Sun Belt Tournament Dew, Robinson and Green earned All-Tournament honors, with Green earning most outstanding player honors. Felix and Ramirez earned All-Tournament honors following the Tuscaloosa Regional.

Troy Baseball History
Troy University has a long history of excellence on the diamond, unfortunately, records for the Trojans prior to 1970 are only sketchy. Anyone with rosters, schedules, season results or statistics from seasons prior to 1970 could help complete the Troy baseball records. 87
Troy Baseball History Few schools in the South, let alone in America, possess as rich a history and tradition as that of the Troy baseball program. In the last 40 years, Trojan hardball squads have claimed more than 1,100 victories, 14 conference championships, seven NCAA Regional crowns and back-to-back Division II NCAA Championships in 1986 and 1987. Photographic archives show evidence of intercollegiate baseball in the Wiregrass as early as the turn of the century, but school records only date back to 1954. Listed hereafter is a synopsis of the “modern era” of Troy Baseball.
1931 All home games are moved to what is now known as Riddle-Pace Field. All previous home seasons were played on the quad in front of Shackelford Hall. The change in venue was due to the number of windows being broken in Shackelford.
1961 In his first season as head coach, Melvin Lucas leads Troy to a 17-7 record and its first Alabama Intercollegiate Conference title. After capturing ACC crowns in 1962 and 1964, Lucas ends his four-year stint with a 62-30 record. His .674 winning percentage is still second all-time at Troy.
1975 Larry Maier is hired as the eighth coach in school history. He is also the linebackers coach on the Troy football team. In his only season on the diamond, the 33-year-old leads the Trojans to a 14-12 record.
strikeout ratio is still a school record.
1979 After 25 years as a player, manager and scout with the St. Louis Cardinals, 50-year-old Chase Riddle is hired as the ninth head coach since 1954. In his first year as the head man in Troy, he led the Trojans Pace Field, circa 1950. mark.

Troy’s string of three consecutive GSC titles is snapped and the Trojans failed to reach the CWS for the second straight season, falling in the semifinals of the NCAA Central Regional. TROY finished with a 23-11-1 record, 5-3-1 in GSC play, and a No. 7 final ranking.
1984 The 1984 squad won a then-school-record 39 games (16 losses) and finished third at the NCAA College World Series and won the third Central Region title in the last five years. The 1984 team broke or tied an amazing 76 school records.
1985 Eleven seniors led Troy back to the NCAA CWS and broke the school record for wins (43) and home runs (87). The
Troy Baseball History home run record stood for 13 years. Senior Chuck Stanhope and junior Ron Warren combine for 22 victories, 12 complete games and a 3.15 ERA. It was the first year for the CWS to be played at Paterson Field in Montgomery.
1986 Mike Perez, a transfer from the University of Florida, leads the NCAA with 13 wins. His .929 (13-1) winning percentage is the best single-season percentage in school history and the 13th-highest in Division II history. On May 23, an NCAA Division II record for attendance is established in the Division II College World Series as 6,280 fans pack Montgomery’s Paterson Field for the doubleheader featuring Cal State Sacramento against Tampa and Troy against Mankato State.
1988 The Trojans finished with a 35-17 record but were eliminated in the semifinals of the NCAA S out h C e n tral Regional and denied a chance to win a third consecutive national title.

of the year came on Friday, April 24, when he hurled a perfect game against Georgia State at Riddle-Pace Field. Troy led the nation in attendance with 5,625 total fans passing through the turnstiles at Riddle-Pace Field. The Trojans averaged 433 fans per game.
1993 In its final year as a Division II member, Troy claimed the NCAA South Central Regional Tournament and returned to the College World Series for the first time since 1987. Knowing it would be the final appearance in Montgomery, the Trojans were the sentimental favorite to win their third championship. Senior Steve “Chainsaw” Charles took the hill and made just his third start of the season in the opener against Mansfield. He definitely made the most of his opportunity. In front of 5,100 fans, Charles threw the first no-hitter in College World Series history. The Trojans went 1-2 over their

Charles finished the season with a 1.40 ERA, a 5-1 record, a school-record 10 saves and was named first team AllAmerica.

1995 With the 1995 season came high expectations and anticipation around the Troy campus. Troy was entering its first year as a member of the Mid-Continent Conference. The Trojans finished the regular season with a 22-21-1 record and drew the third seed in the four-team MCC Tournament, hosted by Eastern Illinois in Charleston. Trojan ace Jason Fawcett beat EIU 13-6 in game one, as Alex Rosa paced the team with a three-run homer and two-run double. A thrilling 8-7 win over Western Illinois in game two left Troy just one win shy of the Mid-Con
Troy Baseball History title. Tournament MVP Rosa hit another three-run dinger, and Peter Bezeredi collected four hits as the Trojans defeated WIU, 12-9, for the championship. The Trojans continued their hot play in the NCAA Play-In series against Midwestern Collegiate Conference champ Wright State. Fawcett took the hill in game one as the bats provided more than enough support in a 16-7 rout. Troy earned its first NCAA Regional berth when pinch-runner Lance Lawley scored from second on a single by Rhodney Donaldson with the score tied in the bottom of the ninth to give Troy a 6-5 victory. Despite losing two straight games, to top-seeded Florida State and secondseeded Ole Miss, in the Atlantic I Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., the trip will forever be remembered as the event that officially welcomed Troy into the Division I family.
1996 The Trojans went through the MidCon regular season with a 16-2 record, earned the top seed in the East Division and the host role. NE Illinois upset Troy, 8-7, in the first round when it scored the winning run on an eighth-inning error. Troy fought through the losers bracket with wins over Eastern Illinois and Pace, setting up a rematch with NEIU. Northeastern’s Matt Dunne had two hits in leading the Golden Eagles to a 3-0 victory. Troy (41-13) swept the regular season awards dished out by the conference. Reggie Hightower was named Player of the Year, Dean Cordova was named Pitcher of the Year, Michael Rivera was named Newcomer of the Year and John Mayotte was named Coach of the Year.
1997 The 1997 season proved to be one of the most successful since moving to Division I status. Troy finished with a 37-23 slate, captured its second Mid-Con title in three years, won an NCAA Play-In series and advanced to an NCAA Regional for the second time in three seasons.

After enduring a slow start, the Troy baseball team rallied over the last month to earn another berth in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship. The Trojans won 19 of their last 28 games, including nine straight at one point, to pull into fourth place in the A-Sun standings.
The Trojans made great strides in Pierce’s second season. After a great start, the team slid to fifth in the final A-Sun standings, but then bullied their way to the finals of the Conference Tournament before falling to Florida Atlantic. Junior pitcher Nate Moore became the first Trojan to earn First Team AllAmerica honors (Baseball America) after leading the nation with a 1.25 ERA. He was taken in the fourth round of the Major League Baseball June Amatuer Draft by the Kansas City Royals.
Troy began the Bobby Pierce era with a 27-27 finish. The Trojans won their first five under Pierce and were in contention for a spot in the A-Sun tournament. However, they dropped 10 of their last 13 to miss the tournament by just one game. Trent Cox broke the freshman hit record with 49 and was named to the A-Sun All-Freshman team.

Troy Baseball History When The Clock Strikes Twelve - 1986 National Champions By Tom Ensey Troy SID (1979-97) It was midnight. And baseball was still being played. On May 23, 1986, in the opening round of the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Finals, Troy State trailed Mankato State, 6-4, in the top of the ninth. The game hadn’t even started until 9:15 p.m. The afternoon contest, a 14-12 Sacramento State win over Tampa, had dragged on for three hours. Then, the between-game ceremonies ran overtime, pressing everything back against this moment, this unlikely hour. Midnight, bases loaded, one out: Troy third baseman Wendell Stephens at bat with an 0-2 count and a national championship in the balance. Forget that there was even one out. Stephens was Troy’s big gun, the team home run leader, school record holder for RBI in a season and career. He was The Man. This was it. Forget, too, that the crowd of 6,280 had dwindled to 2,000 or so. The diehards who remained shook the stadium with every pitch, yelling from their hearts. It was like one throbbing, swelling voice that offered up a roaring prayer for deliverance. Stephens had fouled off four straight pitches into that thunder. He and Mankato reliever Scott Toop were locked in a war of wills as if nothing else matter. And nothing else did matter. Not in that stadium, at midnight. Toop checked, rocked, fired. Fastball. Stephens’ bat flashed, cracked and the centerfielder never turned around to watch it go. Toop sank to his knees. That ball was long gone, deep into the night, deep into the kudzu that grew thick on the steep clay bank rising behind the 380 sign in Montgomery’s Paterson Field.
A grand slam. Unreal. “When I saw it go out,” Stephens said later. “I thought, ‘Okay, now we can win it.’” He meant the tournament -- the national championship that had eluded four previous Trojan teams. And while the tournament was far from over, there was still that ringing home run, struck at midnight. That sudden, improbably dramatic instant in which the wish became real, frozen in time and echoing in the mind like destiny. Today, with the gold trophy securely encased in the lobby of the Tine Davis Field House, the rest of the 1986 NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Finals seems strangely distant and anticlimactic. But there were other moments, many individual efforts combined, and many hearts fused into the force that forged a shared dream in to the reality of that trophy. Remember Troy State’s tough little lefty, Ron Warren, tired but bearing down in the last three innings of his last college game, a 7-5 win over valiant New Haven. He protected that two-run lead with every molecule in his body. (Before the game, before Warren trotted off to the bullpen to take his warmup, a friend had said, “Little Man, I hope you have one more left in you.” Warren replied, “Big Man, how many do you want?”) Remember Jody Ryan’s complete game. A 9-1 win over heavy-hitting Sacramento State. Ryan got the start on a hunch by coach Chase Riddle. On a last-minute lineup change, Ryan took the ball and went out to complete his up-and-down, injury-plagued, roller coaster college career as he scattered nine hits. He teetered on the brink of disaster for nine full innings, but always found the right pitch to get out of trouble. Remember Mike Perez and his masterful one-hit shutout of Columbus College in the
Wendell Stephens’ ninth inning Grand Slam in the first game of the 1986 NCAA Division II World Series propelled Troy State to its first nation title in baseball.
championship game, which had been delayed a day by rain. The contest was finally played in a persistent, gentle drizzle on a threatening night with the faraway rumble of distant thunder. Perez fell into a trancelike rhythm that a 26-minute rain delay in the fourth and a line drive taken to his thigh in the eighth could not undo. The Trojan batters gave him five runs, more than enough that evening. Perez threw just 80 pitches -- 54 strikes in nine innings. He retired the last 11 men in order while striking out the last two. Then, leaping into the arms of his catcher, Todd Englett, Perez thrust his redoubtable right arm high into the air in triumph. And Riddle, with every line on his weathered face aglow, put the championship into perspective. His baseball career had spanned five decades, beginning in 1942 when he signed his first professional contract at 17 in his hometown of Columbus, Ga. As he stood in the midst of the celebration, Riddle cradled the trophy he had yearned for since returning to his alma mater as coach eight years before. He watched his young national champions cheering wildly. “Just look at those kids’ faces,” Front Row: Todd Englett, Jim Prewitt, Warren Arrington, Mart Smartt, Jose Torres, David Hanselman, Richard Pope. Riddle said, his voice cracking. “That’s Second Row: Tim Brown, Jody Ryan, Scott Baldwin, Vince Kindred, Bobby DeJarnette, Antoine Eddington, Tom Voil- what it’s all about. That’s and, Ron Warren, Greg Frady, Steve Ellis. Third Row: Mike Russell, Ed Nix, Bill Wolf, Mike Elmore, Jude Rinaldi, Bruce what you do it for.” Rowland, David Bond, Chris Small, Ed Black, Wendell Stephens, Mike Perez, head coach Chase Riddle.

Troy Baseball History A Tough Act To Follow - 1987 National Champions By Tom Ensey Troy SID (1979-97)
to the players.” April 4 was a ridiculous day for baseball, with 20 degree temperatures and stinging winds after a freakish Alabama snowstorm. At the home of archrival Jacksonville State, TSU’s record dipped to a chilling 12-9, 1-2 in the Gulf South Conference after losing the first game of a league doubleheader. James Wray, the ace of the staff, lasted five innings, surrendered five runs, and took the loss for an un-acely 2-3 record. After two innings of the second game, TSU trailed 8-0 and was staring down the barrel of a disgracefully early exit from league contention. Forget about national championships and all that jazz. It would be nice to say the wind changed directions and grew suddenly warm, or the sun broke through the frozen clouds as TSU mounted its comeback. But no omens underscored the rally. The guys finally started getting the bat on the baseball. When the game ended, TSU had banged out a 13-9 win and was still alive in the GSC race. After the game, the prevalent emotion was weak-kneed relief, the kind one would find after surviving a bad car crash. If there was a turning point to the 1987 season, that was it. And come to think of it, the weather did warm up with TSU’s hitting and pitching. After that, anture began to burst with rebirth as Trojan hopes rose. It seemed like the rest of the team’s days were played on beautiful, shining spring days. Things began to turn around, but slowly. The team teetered on the brink. It survived one close call after another. But TSU always managed to scrape by. Toward the end of the regular
season, the Trojans were a good baseball team, fulfilling half of Riddle’s prophecy. And like the old man said, if they make up their minds... The record was 20-10 on Easter Sunday, after Valdosta State demolished the Trojans, 10-2. It was the last loss the team would suffer. TSU caught fire and raced through the rest of the schedule undefeated, closing with a 15game winning streak. Wray won his last six games in a row and began a streak of 36.2 consecutive scoreless innings, four straight shutouts, winding up a first-team All-America. Not only was Wray honored, but first baseman Jude Rinaldi ended up swinging the meanest bat in school history. During 1987, he posted a .431 batting average, with 16 home runs and 45 runs batted in in 45 games. The team equaled all the achievements of the ‘86 squad, ripping through postseason play undefeated, collecting Gulf South Conference, South Central Region and national championships. The opponents, for the most part, were stunned that they had lost to these guys. How did they continue winning, game after game? The fact of the matter is, the second-time national champions weren’t as overwhelmingly talented as the great team of ‘86. They did not set records, they weren’t as deep in pitching, didn’t have the stunning speed or awesome power. They sure did not make winning look easy. But they did not fold, either. They did not break when things looked hopeless, and they delivered when it was all on the line. They fought every step of the way. They left claw marks all the way to the top of the heap.
In 1987, Troy State won its second straight NCAA Division II Baseball Championship. The celebration of 1986 was still in full swing when the first person asked, “Can you do it again?” Uh, well... The tone was set early for the coming season. Comparisons between the two teams were inevitable and began before the 1987 squad even hit the field. The 1986 club left an all-but-impossible act to follow. They posted an eye-popping 46-8 record, utterly demolished good teams along the way and staged incredible, dramatic comebacks in championship play. It was as if Hollywood had scripted the season, as if some screenwriter had imagined the archetypical team of destiny and put them on the field in Troy uniforms. The ‘87 team would battle the memory of ‘86 as surely as they would face hard-eyed opposing pitchers and batters who wanted nothing more than to knock the crown off the defending champions’ heads. By the time the ‘87 sesaon started, 1986 had receded into the all-forgiving past, and typically, fans recalled something more like a highlight film than reality. And of course, the fans also expected the new edition to pick up where the legend left off, though new faces and untested players abounded. The season started, and the wheels came off. Troy State split its first doubleheader, split its second and lost its third. It was like watching somebody drown. Two-and-four to start the year, enduring three shutouts. This was not against championship competition, to put it kindly. The record inched over .500 as the young season progressed, but the uphill climb was anything but pretty. The Trojans hovered between mediocrity and collapse. Chase Riddle, the silver-haired, veteran coach, had seen a lot of ups and downs over his career. He wasn’t exactly cheerful during the rough going, but he counseled calm and patience. “I told you we wouldn’t play at the start of this year like we did at the end of last year,” he reminded. “I still have a good gut feeling about this team... Don’t give up on us...We still have a Front Row: John Maxwell, Ross Jinright, Lou Henry, Mark Smartt, Warren Arrington, Todd Englett, Richard Pope, Scott chance to be a good ballclub...I don’t McMullen, Keith Baker.

Riddle-Pace Field
Trojans Baseball Building Upon Success A new era in Troy University Baseball has begun. As the Trojans begin their second season in the Sun Belt Conference, this new era will mark the final stages of renovation to RiddlePace Field, set to begin in July. These renovations include a two-story facility that will be built adjacent to the left-field line. The building will include a new dugout for the Trojans, as well as new locker rooms, a training room a n d lounge a n d meeting areas on the first floor. The upper floor will house new offices for the Tr o j a n coaches.

Also in the building will be a covered practice facility that will include batting cages, a bullpen and ample space for the Trojans to practice taking infield when weather does not permit them to go onto the field. The final touch of the new facility will be a new outfield wall that will include a “monster� in right field and a state-of-the-art scoreboard and sound system that will be built into the wall in right-center field. The wall in left field will be lowered and decks will be constructed behind the wall, making that a fan-friendly tailgate area. Finally, a new playing surface will be installed at Riddle-Pace Field, giving the Trojans an opportunity to spend more time on the field, even on days where inclement weather would have, in the past, forced practice or games to be cancelled. As we embark on this new era in Troy Athletics, we need all Trojans fans to help make this project become a reality. By contributing to the Troy Baseball Capital Campaign, fans will be helping the University, the student-athletes and coaches achieve at the highest level of success possible. To contribute to the Troy University Baseball Capital Campaign contact the Atletics Department at 334-670-3482.
Riddle-Pace Field
After much anticipation, the most recent renovation to Riddle-Pace Field was completed in time for the 2002 season. Riddle-Pace Field is a beautiful facility constructed of red brick and exposed steel beams, which complement the attractive architecture already found on the Troy University campus. The stadium was designed to ensure outstanding sightlines and comfort for fans, as well as meet the needs of the country’s finest college baseball players. Upon passing through two ticket booths, fans are greeted by a brick plaza at the base of the three-story press box. The first level houses restrooms, a concession stand and a merchandise booth. The second level is currently used for storage but can be transformed into office space. Level three contains a fully air-conditioned, state-of-the-art press box which features a 500-square foot media center, two 12x15 VIP suites with theatre-style seating, two restrooms and an elevator to provide access for disabled patrons and media.

Sun Belt Conference The Sun Belt Conference is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. And what a 30 years it has been. From its beginnings as one of the top basketball leagues in the country to its current status as one of the few leagues offering competition at the highest level in every sponsored sport, the Sun Belt Conference continues to shine. On the field, Sun Belt schools have developed champions including Major League Baseball All-Stars, NFL Pro Bowlers and PGA Tour winners. However, the league continues to make its mark off the field as well. The Sun Belt Conference strives to make sure its student-athletes are just that: STUDENT-athletes. Eleven Sun Belt Conference schools are graduating its student-athletes at a higher rate than their school’s student body. The league makes sure it competes at the highest level, while showcasing its talents to the country and the world. Currently, the Sun Belt Conference sponsors 19 sports - nine for men and 10 for women. The men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and swimming and diving. The women’s sports include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. On the playing field, the Sun Belt is one of only 11 leagues in the nation that plays all of its sports at the Division I-A collegiate level. And the conference is making sure the world can see them. This past year, the league signed a contract with XOS Technologies, Inc., giving the conference and its schools the opportunity to broadcast its events on the internet. The broadcasts allow Sun Belt student-athletes to be shown not just to the country, but also to the world. The league also has a television contract with ESPN and ESPNU, allowing the conference to receive more national and regional TV exposure than ever before. The agreement with ESPN continues the longest conference relationship for the sports television leader. In recent years, the league has seen incredible progress in all sports - particularly football. The Sun Belt is one of only 11 conferences to play Division I-A football. This gives each conference school the opportunity to play in the Bowl Championship Series and a chance at a national championship. In just four seasons, the league has secured a bowl win (2002 New Orleans Bowl), had multiple teams reach the postseason (2004 - North Texas and Troy) and had Troy’s Demarcus Ware chosen as the 11th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. The accomplishments have not gone unnoticed, as the league continues to see attendance boosts at all of its institutions. Since Sun Belt football began in 2001, overall home attendance has jumped 57 percent. The conference is not limited to just football success. In the first 30 years of existence, the league has boasted national champions in both team and individual sports. Sun Belt schools have produced Olympic medallists like Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette) and Tayna Lawrence (Florida International). Sun Belt teams have participated in the biggest events, like the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Final Fours, the College World Series and the Women’s College World Series. Off the field, the Sun Belt continues to make even greater strides. More and more student-athletes are graduating. For the fifth straight season, the league has had an Academic All-American in men’s basketball. In 2004, the Sun Belt also produced its first ever football and volleyball Academic All-Americans. The conference continues to honor its best student-athletes by awarding postgraduate scholarships and conference medallions, as well as recognition on the Commissioner’s List and Academic Honor Roll for all student-athletes achieving a grade point average of

ALABAMA’S GLOBAL UNIVERSITY Troy University’s primary mission is to serve Alabama students, but with a global focus. TROY not only operates campuses around the world, but brings the world to southeast Alabama as well. The goal is to prepare students from Alabama to excel in a rapidly growing global marketplace. Thirteen years ago, TROY enrolled students from 10 foreign nations. Today, TROY enrolls students from 54 foreign nations. Included in this total are more than 60 students from the People’s Republic of China attending TROY as part of a unique program officially called 1-2-1 Sino-American Educational Strategies Program, which allows students from 27 partner Chinese universities to study their first year in China, spend their sophomore and junior years in Troy and then return home to China to complete their degree. - Troy University was the first American institution to participate in this program, although several other U.S. universities now participate. A similar joint-degree program is in development with Russia’s Vyatka State Humanities University in Kirov. - Troy’s main-campus enrollment also includes many students from exotic locales such as Turkey, Russia, Korea, India and Malaysia. - Troy’s global mission is also served through distance learning, as thousands of TROY students earn degrees through eCampus without even visiting Alabama. This includes students in the revolutionary eArmyU program. Last year, Troy enrolled more than 3,000 soldiers through eArmyU.

Commitment to Academics Troy University believes in a total commitment to improving the lives of its student-athletes. All decisions are based on the idea that our athletes, who are the leaders of tomorrow, are students first. The commitment is providing the student-athlete with the assistance necessary to balance athletic and academic participation. The Troy University Athletics Department is an integral part of the University. Its mission is to assure a balance between the desire to win and the desire to facilitate positive growth of student-athletes. The athletics department will strive to graduate student-athletes who will make significant contributions to society, view their experience as rewarding and who will be proud alumni and advocates of the University. NCAA Regulations The NCAA has set straightforward and stringent guidelines as to whom may represent a member institution in athletics. The organization utilizes the Clearinghouse to determine eligibility for every potential student-athlete. The Clearinghouse determines if the prospect meets the minimum requirements set forth by the NCAA. The Clearinghouse looks beyond grade point average and SAT/ACT test scores. It also scrutinizes the high school transcript to determine if the student-athlete has met at least 14 academic core course requirements. These include four years of English, two years of mathematics, two years of sciences, two years of social studies and four additional academic courses.

The NCAA requirements do not stop with initial eligibility. Student-athletes have to maintain a steady progression toward graduation while remaining in good academic standing with the University. This is done by maintaining a prescribed GPA (depending upon classification) and passing at least 24 semester hours of degree work each academic year. Further, NCAA rules stipulate a student-athlete must declare a degree program of studies, and thereafter make satisfactory progress toward that specific degree. This is done to help ensure the mission of collegiate athletics, which is to graduate studentathletes, not exploit them for their athletic abilities. Student - Athlete Services Troy students are fortunate to have Student - Athlete Services (SAS) available to them. SAS provides all students the support necessary to make the collegiate experience the most beneficial and fruitful it can be. The athletics department coordinates an academic reinforcement program for student-athletes. Services offered by SAS • Two computer labs with internet access and word processing programs • Monitor and chart studentathlete study table sessions. • Provide academic assistance and arrange for tutorial sessions • Registration of student-athletes for classes • Evaluation of student-athlete grades and progress towards degree
