Media Information The 2008 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 Jason Wright in the Troy Athletics Media Relations Office at (334) 670-5834 or Ricky Hazel at (334) 670-3832.
Media Relations Office The Troy University Athletics Media Relations Office is located on the Fifth Floor of the Movie Gallery Stadium Press Box Facility, adjacent to the main entrance of Riddle-Pace 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.

Media Credentials Media credentials will be issued to members of the working media only. Requests for credentials should be made by calling Director of Athletics Media Relations Ricky Hazel at least one day in advance of the requested game or series.

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.

Several “New” Changes for Trojans The 2008 Troy baseball season will see a new dugout, a new locker room, a new wall, and a new field. The fans will see a brand new facility but what they will also see is several new faces on the field. “This years’ squad will be exciting because of the new faces and the improvements of the returning players,” head coach Bobby Pierce said. “They have a great work ethic and I look for them to improve as the season progresses.” Last season, Pierce saw his team make it’s second consecutive NCAA regional. The Trojans were selected as the number three seed in the Oxford Regional. The week before, Troy saw its season come to an unexpected end in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament against South Alabama. All parties thought a regional berth was out of the question, but on selection Monday, the Trojans saw their names flash across the screen, giving them new life. Troy lost both games in the regional and its season came to an end. With construction taking place at Riddle-Pace Field, the Trojans had to move to Charles Henderson’s high school field for fall practice. The transition was something Pierce was a little nervous about. “We were down at the high school field and it is a very small environment,” Pierce said. “Our team did things the right way, through the renovations I thought we would have a few issues with times and locations but this team did everything we asked them to do in a productive manner and we ended up having a very good fall.”
Senior outfielder Byran Miller returns as the most experienced player in the outfield.
“It was a big fall for the offense in the sense that we had to replace several big names,” Pierce said. “We lost Clint Robinson, Josh Dew, and Kevin Weidlich and several others who were big contributors for us last season. We had several concerns coming into the fall after losing those players.” The returning players and the new guys all came into fall practice poised and ready to work.
“As the new guys came in and the returning players all came back strong, we became very excited about the potential for our offense,” Pierce said. “That is a big credit to both groups. Now, as we The small high school field proved to be both go into the spring, we feel pretty good about our good and bad for the Trojans. The smaller field potential and our capabilities.” played good for the offense but it didn’t look as good for the pitchers.

nity College where he hit .400 with 52 RBI his sophomore year. He had two home runs and 12 RBI in the 2007 Regional Tournament. Other players vying for spots are Daniel Porter, J.L. Thomason, Carlton Hilson and Rob Brown. “Two freshman, Daniel Peterson and Baxley Raines showed that they are DI ready players and are capable,” Pierce said. “There is also Lance Miller, who is a very good left handed hitter. He struggled a little last year so we redshirted him. He had the kind of fall we anticipated to so he should help this offense.” Trevor Tyre Leads the Infield Junior Trevor Tyre will make the transition to second base after playing third base last season.
Miller and Felix Hold Down the Outfield “Our outfield looks to be athletic and good but they need to be due to the renovations,” Pierce said. “The field is bigger so we need to be solid out there.” Senior Bryan Miller will return to the Trojan outfield as the most experienced player. Miller will take over the centerfield position following the graduation of Ian Craze last season. Miller played in 52 games in 2007 while starting 34, he batted .308. He had a .981 fielding percentage. Sophomore Steven Felix will return as the only other outfielder with experience. Felix saw action in 45 games last season and played well in his opportunities and is the leading candidate to play right field.
Junior Trevor Tyre came into the 2007 season as a backup at second base but he eventually took over the starting job at third base where he finished the season as the hottest hitter on the squad. Tyre and junior Brett Henry were the two players the coaches had in mind at third. After a good battle in the fall, Pierce realized that he needed both players in the lineup. “We had a great competitive battle at third base between Brett Henry and Trevor Tyre,” Pierce said. “Trevor is one of our best hitters and we need him to be on the field. Brett is a good player who started the year for us last year and he is very productive. This fall he played very well defensively.” Tyre will start the year at second with Henry as the front-runner to start at third base.
“Michael Precise made his presence known by The shortstop position will see several players coming in and having a good fall with the bat,” throughout the early part of the season in order Pierce said. to find the best fit for the conference season. Charley Williams is the leading candidate for the “Bart Pettus came out as the leading candidate left field position.

of his opportunity to play second base last season. After Ramirez went down with an early injury, Pierce stepped into the spotlight and did not miss a beat. “Brett has always played on both sides of the bag,” coach Pierce said. “In the past, he has started and played in relief and he has played in several roles for us. This year will be no different. He will get a chance for several starts in the spring.” “Chipola transfer Paul Gatchell brings the same thing he had in junior college,” Pierce said. “He is the kind of player a coach wants. He is a winner and good player that can play anywhere in the infield.” Sophomore Bradley Futch is still in the mix at second base. Freshman Byne Goodin spent last season as a Junior catcher Beau Brooks returns for another season beredshirt pitcher for the Trojans.

The second base spot is one that the Trojans have not had to worry about until this season. Edgar Ramirez held down that spot for the past two seasons, constantly making plays and always putting the Trojans in a good position. He also had a deadly bat and often made opponents pay for their mistakes. Senior Brett Pierce took full advantage 12

He still has to get better defensively but his bat should give him an opportunity as a young player.” Precise will also be a candidate for playing time at first base depending on the opposing pitcher. “Daryl Otwell will compete for time but he missed the fall with an ankle injury so we didn’t get to see much of him,” Pierce said. “Blake Martz has a good bat and is also a potential candidate.” Third Season Together For Catchers Senior Josh Blackwell and junior Beau Brooks will be back in the saddle behind the plate for the third year in a row. Both catchers have played significant roles in their time for the Trojans. “We have two great catchers and we are very lucky to have both guys,” Pierce said. “They work well together and have been a great combo the last two years.”
Senior Ryan Ellison will lead the Trojan pitching staff on the mound. He is penciled in as the Friday night starter.

“Coming off of a tremendous fall, Pete Van Horn made great strides after having a tough year with some arm problems,” Crane said. “Early on, you can expect him out of the bullpen as a set-up guy or a quality middle reliever and then, possibly a mid week starter during the year.”

He is also a tough match-up for right handers in the way that he delivers the ball with his long arm and side arm motion. “We also have a new guy named A.J. Howard who is a hard throwing left hander who will serve us in the late innings. We look for him to excel in situational spots against lefties,” Crane said. “He has shown no fear as a true freshman and has a chance to be a starter in this program.

said. “He has developed a slider that can be an out pitch and his change up has improved. He has a chance to fill a true set-up role to get the ball in Storm’s hands. Brown also has a chance to serve in the closing role when Storm needs a day off.”

He knew about the history. He knew about the national and conference championships the program won in the 1980s, but he also knew about the struggles the program had endured since moving into a competitive Division I conference. However, Pierce had a plan that was tried and true. His plan had worked at Chipola Junior College and at UAH. In 2003 Pierce brought his plan for success to Troy and the results have been startling.

win ran his way into not only the Troy record book, but also the A-Sun and NCAA books with 84 stolen bases. 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 see two other A-Sun teams selected, but not the Trojans. In addition to the successes of 2005 on the field, the squad also performed well in the classroom, capturing the Fred B.

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 (22), a senior at Troy, Lauren (21), a junior at Troy, and Logan (18), a senior at Charles Henderson.

He arrived in Livingston as the school’s first full-time assistant coach in 1990 under then head coach Mark Hogan. His recruiting efforts helped produce a 1992 Division II College World Series appearance after capturing the Gulf South Conference and South Central Regional Championships along the way. The Tigers captured a GSC West Division Championship in 1994, his last season as an assistant. In 1995, Smartt was elevated to the head coaching position and compiled a 165-163 record in six seasons. During his tenure, his teams broke or tied 38 school records while producing two All-America, seven All-Region and ten All-GSC selections. Under his leadership, UWA also finished in the top five in national attendance in five of his six seasons, including setting a single-game home crowd record of 2,019 in his last season. Smartt was appointed a member of the ABCA Division II All-American Committee from 1998-2000, serving as the chairman the last two years. He also was a member of the Division II National Poll Committee from 1995-98. Immediately prior to returning to Troy, Smartt spent two years as park manager with the parks and recreation department in Moody, Alabama. Smartt and his wife Deborah, a Troy graduate, have a daughter, Taylor Michelle (16) and a son, Chase Allan (12).

During the 2007 season, Clint Robinson re-wrote the record books at Troy. He left with his name at the top of the record book in six catagories. He was also in the top 10 in five others. 73
2007 Season Review The 2007 season saw a season filled with high expectations. Some were met while others were not. One of the early goals was a successful defense of a Sun Belt Championship and a regional berth. With the schedule the Trojans had in front of them, there were no guarantees. Troy opened its season with the number five team in all of college baseball along with one of the top pitchers in Nick Schmidt. The Hogs would take 2-of-3 with the Trojans winning the middle game of the series.
The Trojans knew that the entire conference would be gunning for them after winning the Sun Belt in the first season in 2006. Middle Tennessee came to Troy in the opening weekend and took two games form the Trojans. With the opening weekend loss, the road didn’t get any easier as Troy had to travel to a powerhitting club in Florida Atlantic.
Troy would rebound the very next week with four straight wins starting with a win on the road against Alabama followed by a weekend sweep of Saint Louis at home. Josh Dew was selected in the 14th round of the The Trojans would not be intimidated by 2007 MLB draft by the St. Louis Cardinals Auburn would beat the Trojans 11-3 in the Owls’ numbers as Auburn before the Annual Wiregrass Classic. they went on the road The Trojans have normally had success in Dothan and to Boca Raton, Fla. and came back with the brooms in they would show that again. hand. Troy swept through the tournament with wins over Georgia Southern, Indiana, and Southern Miss. With only one weekend left before the conference opener, the Trojans would travel west to Starkville, Miss. for the Cadence Bank classic with match-ups between Mississippi State and reigning Big Ten champion Michigan. Troy beat Michigan in the opening game of the classic, 13-6 but that would be the only success the Trojans would have in the weekend. Troy would lose 2-1 to MSU and again to Michigan and MSU on Sunday. 74
The Trojans would again lose 2-of-3 at home to FIU. The four conference losses have already equalled the number of losses in the entire conference season from the year before. The Trojans would then visit the site where they won their first and only Sun Belt Conference Tournament, Bowling Green, Ky. The Hilltoppers were a young and inexperienced team heading into the weekend tilt with Troy. WKU had other plans by taking two games from Troy. Troy would bounce back and Clint Robinson was tabbed as a second team All-American in 2007.
take two game from a 12th ranked Coastal Carolina, in Troy, setting the stage for its conference baseball rival, Louisiana Lafayette. ULL was the hottest team in the league coming into the weekend showdown with Troy. ULL won two games the year before and the Trojans were looking for payback but all they were able to find was two more conference losses. Troy would win its next eight games with a sweep of Arkansas State, a win against Kennesaw State, and Jacksonville State. During that run, Troy had rematch with Auburn but this time it was at Riddle-Pace Field in front of a capacity crowd. The game was back-an-forth until then sophomore Beau Brooks hit a ball over the wall in right field for the walk-off home run in the bottom of the 16th inning. Troy would follow that game up with a series win over Louisiana Monroe that included a big Friday night 2711 win. Troy saw itself get swept bu UALR in Little Rock. Those losses all but assured the Trojans of not repeating as the league champion.
Edgar Ramirez finished the 2007 season with a .339 batting average with 16 doubles and 12 home runs.
The Trojans beat UAB 2015 in a slugfest before taking the series from the eventual Sun Belt Tournament Champion, New Orleans. South Alabama took two of the final three game from the Trojans to close out the regular
season. Troy won its first game of the tournament with a 7-0 victory ULM setting the stage for a rematch with ULL. ULL jumped out to an early 3-1 lead before the Trojans used a five-run inning to take the lead. Troy pitchers loaded the bases for Jonathan Lucroy, who was the player-of-theyear in the league, to face Josh Dew, the pitcher-of-the-year. Lucroy hit a grand slam over the wall in left field sending the Trojans to the loser’s bracket where they fell Clegg Snipes finished the season to South Alabama the with a 6-6 record including a com- very next day. plete game shut-out of Arkansas State
All hope was lost for the Trojans. They knew that it would take something special for them to get into a regional. On selection Saturday, with the Trojans gathered around a television in the stadium tower, their name was announced. Troy would hit the practice field for a couple of days then it headed for Oxford, Miss. for its second consecutive regional berth. Southern Miss beat the Trojans in the opening game of the tournament before Sam Houston State beat the Trojans bringing their season to an abrupt end.

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
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
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.

1994 In its first year as a full Division I member, Troy won the East Coast Conference Tournament with a 5-1 record and finished the season with a 34-16 mark. The Trojans posted a four-game split with NCAA Tournament participant South Alabama and a two-game split with eventual NCAA College World Series participant Auburn. Right-hander Rob Batchler was named ECC Player of the Year as he posted an 113 record and a 3.73 ERA. He concluded his two-year career with a 22-7 record. Catcher Curtis Green and outfielder Daryl George were also named All-ECC.
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 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.

ence 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.
2003 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 AllFreshman team.
2004 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.
2005 Going into its final season of play in the Atlantic Sun Conference, the Trojans squad put together an amazing combination of speed on the base paths, power at the plate and dominating start-
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

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.

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.

Between 1979 and 1990, while Chase Riddle roamed the dugouts and coaches boxes of Pace Field, the Troy State baseball program rose from regional obscurity to national powerhouse. Riddle finished as the winningest coach in school history -- in any sport -- with 434 wins. His overall record of 434147-2, a .744 winning percentage, ranked him among the top 10 Division II coaches in winning percentage.

His teams won two national championships (and narrowly missed out on three others), six regional titles and captured five Gulf South Conference crowns. He was named Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1987 and nabbed Regional Coach of the Year awards in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986 and 1987. His teams won 71.2 percent of their conference games (92-37-1) and had an .809 winning percentage at TSU’s Pace Field (253-59-1). His teams were 36-18 in NCAA post-season play, including an amazing 24-10 mark in regional play and a 12-8 record at the College World Series. Three of Riddle’s teams won more than 40 games and four more won at least 35 games. He produced 10 first-team All-Americans, 30 total All-America and 36 first-team All-Gulf South Conference performers.

Trojans Baseball Building Upon Success A new era in Troy University Baseball has begun. As the Trojans begin their third 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 and lounge and meeting areas on the first floor. The upper f lo or w i l l house new offices for the Trojan coaches. Also in the building will be a covered practice fa-
126
cility 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.
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. Four entrances lead into the main grandstand, plus an additional ramp and Riddle-Pace Field wheelYear-by-Year (since 1970) chair lift Year W L T Pct.

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

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 student-athletes, 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
