MISSION STATEMENT Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are an important and wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through research and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through teaching. To that end, participants in intercollegiate athletics must be, first and foremost, students whose fundamental aim is to obtain a sound education. A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of excellence in the quality of its programs and to enhance the visibility and recognition of the University as a whole. Students who participate in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation of this mission of excellence, and by such participation, provide a unifying objective of community and University. Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program in intercollegiate sports is important so long as it remains in proper focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University; so long as it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fide students; and so long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty, sportsmanship and clean play.

In 2008, the Wayne State University baseball team enjoyed unprecedented success, reaching the championship game of the NCAA North Central Regional after winning a school-record 34 games and the GLIAC regular-season championship. The 2009 season marks a changing of the guard, however, in the WSU baseball program. Gone is Jay Alexander, who earned two GLIAC Coach of the Year awards in his six seasons at the helm. Enter former pitching coach Ryan Kelley, who is preparing in his first season as the head coach to lead the Warriors to another fruitful season and keep his squad in the mix among the elite programs in Division II baseball. Kelley understands that adjustments will need to be made to climb the mountain again, but feels that his team is prepared to avoid falling off the cliff, a figurative image one can associate with last season’s crushing 3-0 loss to Ashland in the regional title game. “Obviously last year was a record year for us, and we had a lot of accomplishments and success,” said Kelley. “But going into this year with a number of guys returning with more experience, they learned what it was like to be in that situation and now they know what they have to do to win that game to get to the World Series.” So even with all the accolades the Warriors collected in the 2008 campaign, Kelley insists upon looking to the future. “That was last year, and this year is a whole new ball game.” Among Kelley’s 19 returning letterwinners are Wayne State’s captains – Drew Churchward, Matthew Williams, and Dane Little. This trio hopes to guide the Warriors back to postseason play and close out their careers on a high note. “Our leadership up the middle is really strong. We have our three captains – Churchward in center, Williams at shortstop and Little on the mound – who are all seniors, and any good team has to be strong up the middle defensively.”

2009 season outlook
drew churchward
Churchward, who redshirted in 2007 after transferring from Butte College, posted a .317 average with 27 RBI and a team-best 13 doubles while hitting primarily at the top of the order. He totaled 54 runs and 183 at-bats (both second-most in WSU history), was named to the NCAA Regional All-Tournament Team, and earned a Rawlings/ABCA All-Region Gold Glove. “He’s an emotional leader on the field. He comes with a lot of pride and wants to do the best that he can,” said Kelley. “He carries that emotion with him well and I think the guys feed off of it.” Williams, who Kelley feels, “has made great strides this year as a captain,” received WSU’s Most Improved Player award in 2008 after increasing his batting average, slugging percentage, onbase percentage, and fielding percentage from the previous year and improving in nearly every other offensive category. He was the GLIAC co-leader in stolen bases (29), while batting .275 with 25 RBI and 50 runs scored. An All-GLIAC Second Team honoree last season, Little went 4-5 in 13 starts with a 4.83 ERA and 57 strikeouts. He was as durable (lasted at least five innings in 10 starts) as he was effective (2.91 ERA in the month of April) when counted upon. “Dane will be one of our spark plugs as a lefthanded pitcher,” said Kelley. “When he came in as a freshman he had a lot of talent, but over the years he’s really learned how to pitch – hit his spots, locate, and keep hitters off balance.” Joining Churchward in the outfield is junior standout Ryan LaPensee, a two-time All-GLIAC Honorable Mention selection. LaPensee led the team and finished fourth in the GLIAC with a .409 batting average, becoming one of only four players in WSU history to hit .400 or better twice. The right fielder finished with 70 hits and had a team-best 21 multiple-hit games. “LaPensee has established himself as one of the premier outfielders in our conference. Now that he is at an upper-classman status, I expect him to take on more of a leadership role and build upon his past success.” Senior third baseman Charlie Dunneback bounced back from an injury-plagued 2007 to play in 50 games a year ago and hit .291, including a .323 clip with runners in scoring position. He also posted 10 sacrifice bunts, fourth-most in the conference and tied for third-most in school history. “Charlie brings a wealth of experience to the table,” said Kelley. “He’s had some ups and downs in his career due to injuries, but he’s here to do whatever he can to help the team win. The 2008 GLIAC Freshman of the Year, catcher Michael Wiseman batted .323, slugged five homers and drove in 50 runs. He also drew 31 walks and had a team-best 15 multiple-RBI games last season. “Mike swings the bat really well and is very knowledgeable and talented defensively,” said Kelley. “He was in a position where he was under

a good leader behind the plate in Matt Cunningham, but now Mike has taken on that role.” Adam Kaminski is a senior who primarily played first base but also served as the team’s closer. An All-America, All-Region, and Second Team All-GLIAC selection in 2008, Kaminski finished second on the team with a .371 batting average and contributed 30 RBI. In 13 appearances on the mound, he amassed three saves and 23 strikeouts with a staff-low 1.93 ERA. “Kaminski has a big-game mentality and when he gets on the mound, he wants to compete and go after hitters. I respect that aggressiveness, and I look for him to continue to help us out in that capacity.” Kaminski will be challenged for time at first base by John Skaggs, who struggled last season but hopes a successful summer in which he was named an All-Star in the Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate League will lead to a resurgence this spring. Other veterans hoping to make an impact include senior Scott Martin, a versatile player who batted .237 and matched his career-high of 18 RBI last season, and junior utility man Tom Olson, who spent his first two seasons primarily as a pitcher but saw limited playing time in left field last year as well. Junior reserve infielder Caleb Dalman will unfortunately miss the 2009 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery this past winter. Senior outfielder Tony Hines, who was selected as a Preseason AllAmerican in 2008, will also miss the season due to an injury which limited him to only nine games last year. Even with the strong veteran presence on his squad, Kelley is not short on talent from newcomers either. Among those Kelley sees as potential contributors is Jamie Bailey, a transfer from Blue Ridge Community College. “Jamie is going to step in and be a solid second baseman for us. He showed some really good defensive skills during fall ball and in our winter workouts, and I think he’ll be a great addition.” Another Blue Ridge transfer, Paul LaMantia batted .387 and led the Bears with 53 hits last season.

The 2009 Warriors, players and coaches alike, will begin the season Feb. 20-21 at West Georgia. Wayne State will spend four weeks on the road playing non-conference opponents, including inregion foes Bellarmine, Southern Indiana, and Drury. “The GLIAC is always a competitive league, and every game counts – every inning counts. So we need to prepare ourselves for conference play, and we’ve established a very tough non-conference schedule before the GLIAC season hits.” Conference play will begin with WSU’s home opener Mar. 18 against Northwood. With the GLIAC schedule increasing to 35 games, the Warriors will play at each of the other seven schools, and conversely will host each team. Eleven (11) of Wayne State’s final 13 games are in Detroit, including a three-game set May 2-3 against 2008 GLIAC tournament champion Grand Valley State to close the regular season. “In the GLIAC, no matter who you’re playing against, teams come prepared to battle and win,” said Kelley. “They are talented and well coached, and we will have our hands full with teams coming after us because of our success last year.” Can last year’s success be repeated, or even exceeded? Many of the faces on this team have changed, but the goals remain the same – win the GLIAC title, get to the NCAA Championship, and show the nation that the Warriors belong among the top teams in Division II baseball.

“Pitching-wise, I think this might be the most depth we’ve had, but guys have to really step up and show that they can perform.” With the departure of Anthony Bass, who was drafted in the fifth round by the San Diego Padres in June, there is a significant gap in the rotation which Kelley hopes will be filled by any one of his experienced hurlers. Besides Little, seniors who will take the mound this season include Ryan Mosher, Robby Foscarin, and Kaminski. Mosher hopes to get his career back on track after a two-year derailment due to arm surgeries. He went 2-5 with a 5.80 ERA in 2006, but exhibited his true form in 2005 when he had an 8-4 record and was named to the All-GLIAC Second Team. Foscarin, who transferred to WSU last year after two seasons at Kaskaskia College, made 11 relief appearances in 2008 and surrendered just two earned runs over his final seven outings. Sophomore right-handers Tyler Loehr and Brett
Two former Macomb Community College assistant coaches, Art Dudal and John Dombrowski, have also joined the staff. “With his experience, I look for Art to help with a number of facets – from pitching, to hitting, to defensive work,” said Kelley. “John is a great motivator and will do whatever it takes to make our team better.”
s t a t e
adam kaminski
Shankin both saw time on the mound as freshmen. Loehr collected 21 strikeouts in 13 appearances, while Shankin went 3-1 and fanned 27 batters. Shankin’s most memorable outing was a 6-2 victory over Ashland in the NCAA Regional in which he went the distance and struck out five. “They’ve made remarkable improvement mentally and physically, and I’ll look for big things out of them.” Kelley also likes the progress made by junior righty Justin Mazur, who made a team-high 15 appearances last season. Mazur, who made seven starts, had a 5-0 record and 28 strikeouts. Juniors David White and Brady Cooper will come out of the bullpen, and Kelley expects these two righthanders to show the consistency comparable with their experience. Returning left-handers Daniel Baird and Tyler Hill each saw limited time on the mound last year but will provide an additional presence of upperclassmen in the pen. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman right-hander Justin Sylvester will be looking to see his first collegiate action this season. Matt Mahalak is a walk-on who Kelley sees as having the potential to contribute. “He has good location; not a lot of velocity, but he can hit his spots,” said Kelley. Other rookie pitchers include right-handers Ben Vaughn, a two-time all-division honoree in high school, and Josh Wedesky, a Lansing State Journal Dream Team selection who went 11-3 with a 0.93 ERA and 74 strikeouts as a senior at Fowlerville High. Faced with the task of putting together a winning formula with these components is a relatively freshfaced coaching staff. Only Kelley and Kyle Hill remain from last year’s coaching regime. “We had a staff on board the last six seasons that was pretty steady, but we have three new coaches with us this year. I think the players have adjusted very well to the transition.” Hill is back for his second season as an assistant coach, having completed a successful four-year pitching career in 2007. The two-time All-GLIAC Second Team selection ranks second all-time at WSU in career innings (271.1) and is the school’s coleader with 24 career victories. “Kyle had a great playing career, but I think he has some really good abilities from a coaching standpoint,” said Kelley. “He brings a great deal of knowledge in terms of skill development, mechanics, and the mental approach to pitching.” Logan Hughes, who also serves as an assistant football coach, has joined the baseball staff as a hitting instructor. He was an assistant baseball coach for three years at his alma mater, Missouri-St. Louis, where he earned All-GLVC and All-Region honors as a third baseman. “Logan comes with an aggressive mindset to teach hitters how to attack the baseball and perform in key situations at the plate.”
w a y n e
“He’s shown tremendous ability to play the outfield, and first base if we need him. He has some pop in his swing, and is a great team player.” Competing with Dunneback for a role at third base is Alex Trojan, who redshirted at WSU a year ago. “Alex, now being a redshirt freshman, is stronger and his skill level has increased,” said Kelley. “I think his hunger to play is tremendous, and he’s been working really hard.” Like Trojan, Phil Swanson will vie for playing time after redshirting last season. Swanson’s contributions in 2008 did not go unnoticed, however, as he received the “Gary Chapp” Spirit Award at the team’s season-end banquet. True freshmen providing depth to the lineup are infielder Andrew Ciennik, outfielder Kyle Vesey, and catchers Sam Giordano and Eric Ramaekers. From a pitching standpoint, Kelley is approaching the 2009 campaign with guarded enthusiasm.

has served as liaison to various NCAA committees for which the conference held cabinet positions. The MAC presidents recognized Fournier’s achievements when they unanimously conferred a Certificate of Commendation and a mark of esteem for his efforts in 1999. Previous to joining to the MAC, Fournier served as assistant athletic director at the University of Akron. In addition to overseeing the men’s athletic programs, he was responsible for all athletic financial aid, eligibility, drug/alcohol education and compliance. His fundraising efforts resulted in a number of facility improvements to the athletic campus. He formed one of the first student-athlete advisory groups in the country (an effort he repeated at the Mid-American Conference) and was a member of the development executive board. A former member of the faculty, Fournier remained active in the classroom at the University of Akron, teaching courses in communication and criminal justice. A licensed attorney, Fournier received his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude and his master’s with honors from the University of Akron. He was a national forensics champion and qualified for the national finals in six events. Fournier received his law degree from the University of Akron in 1986 and was admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still licensed to practice. He and his wife Pam, a Vice President at ACS, reside in Walled Lake.
s t a t e
Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting Commissioner of the Conference (1999), he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament at the Gund Arena (now
Quicken Loans Arena) and secured the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the men’s postseason basketball tournament. He also wrote and negotiated the Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s longest postseason Bowl alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league, Fournier investigated and reported on over three hundred and fifty (350) infraction cases that insured fairness in case resolution and corrective action. At the request of institutions, he has appeared before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and conducted campus reviews of compliance effectiveness in financial aid, rules education, eligibility and institutional control.

Rob Fournier culminated his eight years at Wayne State in 2008 by being honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region. Since his arrival in September of 2000, Fournier’s plan to invigorate the Wayne State athletic department has centered on three goals - academic achievement, community outreach and competitive success. To that end, the record has been telling. In 2007-08, Warrior student-athletes completed 4,000 community service hours, won four conference titles, and had 10 teams earn bids to the NCAA postseason tournament. The Warriors seven best finishes ever in the NACDA Cup standings which measures the overall performance of athletic programs around the country have occurred in the last seven years. WSU has jumped 100 places in the standings since Fournier’s arrival at WSU. In those eight years, 26 WSU coaches have been honored as conference Coachof-the-Year while two have been distinguished as National Coach of the Year. On average, 53% of WSU’s nearly 400+ studentathletes have a 3.00 or better grade-point average and 23% are above 3.5. In the latest federallymandated graduation study, Warrior student-athletes graduated at a 20% higher mark than the comparable campus population, their best finish ever. The overall grade-point average for all 16 athletic teams at the start of the 2008 fall term is 2.98. These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001. Fournier’s ability to generate corporate support has vastly improved the physical setting of the athletic campus and the competitive balance of the Warrior teams. In his eight years he has raised $6,041,450 from a variety of sources. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; baseball’s replica Fenway Park stadium; men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms; softball grandstand, walkway and pressbox; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board and pool
improvements; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf and a new track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s treatment area; new USTA tennis courts; and a design charette for a new arena. The physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well. In the past four years alone, student-athletes have committed over 14,000 community service hours with such programs as St. Leo’s and St. Aloysius soup kitchens, Motor City Makeover, Make-A-Wish, Relay for Life, canned food drives, Boys and Girls Club, Toys-for-Tots, Skate for the Cure, Genesis House, Focus Hope, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and SMARTS mentoring. In particular, the Think Detroit/PAL initiative pairs WSU student-athletes and coaches with over 13,000 Detroit school children in a variety of program and outreach activities. All this is accomplished under the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, one of the first in the conference. Fournier has also initiated an outreach effort for coaches and staff to volunteer one day a month to a charitable cause in a program labeled WIN -- Warriors in the Neighborhood. Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities include selecting the top teams in the region each week and the teams that advance to the postseason. This year he has been selected to serve on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee. He currently serves as the chair of the GLIAC officiating committee and is past President of the Conference Executive Committee. In women’s hockey, he served as the chair of the Structure Committee and a member of the Executive Committee.

head coach ryan kelley

Ryan Kelley, who completed his sixth season on the Warriors’ staff and third year as WSU’s pitching coach in the spring of 2008, was named head coach on September 29, 2008, following the departure of Jay Alexander to Eastern Michigan. Kelley is the ninth head coach in the 68-year history of the Wayne State University baseball program. “I look forward to Ryan building on our successes in baseball,” noted WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier. “The committee considered some outstanding candidates and there is no doubt that our program has risen in stature. In the end, Ryan’s familiarity with our system, his strong work habits and active role in building our program the last six years, was a significant factor. I look forward to working with him to move our baseball team into an elite echelon.” Kelley has been with the athletic department full-time as academic coordinator since February 2006. After earning a bachelor of science degree from the University of Michigan, Kelley graduated with his master’s from Wayne State University in sports administration. In the summer of 2004, Kelley became a community director within the WSU Office of Housing & Residential Life, a position he held until assuming his role as athletic academic coordinator. Originally from Northville, Kelley was a fouryear pitcher at Michigan (1996-1999). He would help the Wolverines win the 1997 Big Ten Championship and the 1999 Big Ten Tournament Championship. Following the 1997 season, Kelley was a pitcher in the Alaskan Central Collegiate baseball league for the Mat-Su Minors.
Kelley played high school baseball at Dearborn Divine Child where he earned all-state and honorable mention preseason All-America honors. He also completed a graduate assistant position with the Detroit Lions and has worked in Wayne State’s sports information department. In addition, he completed a graduate assistantship with Stanford University’s athletic department. “I am very honored and humbled to be named the head baseball coach at Wayne State University,” said Kelley. “I would like to thank Rob and the search committee for their efforts during this selection process. In addition, I would like to thank our former head coach Jay Alexander for giving me the opportunity to join the baseball staff six seasons ago. I look forward to continuing to build on the successful momentum that Coach Alexander initiated. “Moving into the next chapter of WSU baseball we are eager for continued success. With the current players in place, our fantastic new dugouts, and the resources available to our student-athletes we look forward to an exciting future. We will continue to prepare to win both on and off the field. It is my goal that our Warrior baseball student-athletes will continue to serve as leaders in our community efforts, achieve academic prosperity, learn how to strive for and accomplish our goals on the diamond, while also preparing for a successful life after graduation. Ultimately, our student-athletes will come to realize the importance of working together as a team in a family environment and be proud to wear the name of Wayne State University across the front of our jerseys.”

In his first year, John Dombrowski will join the 2009 WSU baseball team as an assistant coach. Ryan Kelley has assigned him to oversee the development and instruction of the catchers. Prior to this assignment, Dombrowski was hired as an assistant coach at Macomb Community College (2005-08). He served as a roving instructor and oversaw some of the offensive and defensive aspects of the program. More specifically, he was in charge of the catching instruction and implementing a strength and conditioning program. In his three years at Macomb, the team would post its highest divisional finish (third) in more than 10 years. This would earn the Monarchs consecutive NJCAA regional appearances. The Eastpointe native has coached many amateur teams and has over two decades of coaching experience. He has enjoyed measurable success in the recruitment and placement of local high school players into the college ranks. “I want to thank Coach Kelley for giving me a great opportunity to become part of the Wayne State baseball program. I consider this an honor,” said Dombrowski. Dombrowski attended Macomb Community College and Saginaw Valley State University. He and his wife, Brenda, have two daughters, Allie (21) and Megan (7).

Art Dudal will join the 2009 Wayne State University baseball team as an assistant coach. His coaching career began in 1986 with the Glendale Mountainbacks in the Arizona Collegiate Cactus League. In 1992, he returned to his alma mater, Macomb Community College, and served as an assistant coach working with a staff he once played for. In 2002, he assisted former WSU head coach Jay Alexander with the recruitment of local players and served as a baseball camp instructor. After a year as an assistant coach at Rochester College, Dudal was hired as the head coach and hitting instructor in 2004, guiding the squad to a World Series appearance in St. Petersburg, Fla. Dudal returned to MCC in 2005 and spent two seasons as the team’s pitching coach. During that time, Dudal saw the Monarchs achieve their highest divisional finish (third) in more than a decade and make consecutive NJCAA regional appearances. Since 1989, Dudal has managed many local federation programs and coached several players who went on to forge successful collegiate and professional careers. Dudal was a two-year letterwinner at Macomb (1987-89), posting a 9-4 career pitching record and helping the team win back-to-back division titles. Dudal and his wife, Vistina, have two sons, Devin (11) and Bryce (9).

2008 sEASON TIMELINE
34
January 7 Derek Ranck and Tony Hines were named North Central Region Preseason All-Americans by the American Baseball Coaches Association NCAA Division II All-America Committee. Ironically, neither finished the season due to injuries. Additionally, the ABCA recognized Ryan LaPensee as a “Player to Watch,” and John Kessick as a “Newcomer to Watch.” February 24 After its season-opening series with Rockhurst was cancelled the day before due to inclement weather, the Warriors started the 2008 campaign with a 5-2 non-conference loss to then-seventh ranked Grand Valley State in Nashville. Wayne State would rebound to defeat Northern Kentucky, 2-1, in 10 innings. February 28 Wayne State tallied 49 points to tie Saginaw Valley State for third in the 2008 GLIAC preseason coaches’ poll. GVSU took five first-place votes and 60 points to lead the poll, followed by Ashland in second with 53 points and two first-place votes. The Warriors and Cardinals received one firstplace vote apiece. March 13 Wayne State played an exhibition game against a Philadelphia Phillies minor league squad in Clearwater, Fla. The Phillies defeated the Warriors, 10-1. March 16 After suffering consecutive 6-1 losses in the first two games of the series, Wayne State dropped a 20-10 decision at Tampa, the 2007 NCAA Division II champion. Only 13 of the 20 runs WSU allowed were earned, as the teams combined to use 29 different batters and 14 pitchers in the game.
April 5-6 WSU swept Hillsdale in its home opening series, including 17-1 and 11-3 routs on April 5. Charlie Dunneback hit a grand slam in the series opener, and Michael Wiseman smacked a four-bagger in the next game. The following day’s extrainning wins were marred, however, by a seasonending injury to Ranck, who was hitting .400 and had reached base in 18 straight games before breaking his wrist diving for a ball in left field in the series finale.
April 26 The Warriors made history in a doubleheader against Northwood, posting victories of 18-6 and 25-2. In the series opener, WSU jumped out to an 18-0 lead as all nine starters had at least one hit and one RBI. Wayne State followed that up with its highest single-game run total since 1999 and its largest margin of victory in 30 years. Churchward went 5-for-6 in the 23-run triumph, the first Warrior with five hits in a game since Ron Kochan in 2003.
April 12 After opening a series at Findlay with an 8-0 win – WSU’s first shutout win over UF since 2001 – Wayne State was dealt its first conference loss, 4-2 in nine innings. Jeff Peters hit a walkoff tworun homer to put WSU’s GLIAC record at 13-1.
April 27 Victories of 8-3 and 12-6 over the Timberwolves ensured the Warriors’ fourth GLIAC Tournament berth in the last five years. Wayne State finished 12-1 on its 13-game homestand.
April 15 Bass earned his second GLIAC Pitcher of the Week award for his performance in the 8-0 victory over the Oilers. He won his fifth straight appearance, posted his second complete game shutout, and took a perfect game into the fifth inning. April 19-20 The Warriors defeated #10 Grand Valley State, 74, in the first of a four-game set, snapping an 11game skid against their league rival. In game two, consecutive solo home runs by Drew Churchward and Matthew Williams – his first career homer – in the bottom of the seventh capped off a 10-9 comeback victory. The teams split a twinbill the next day, but Wayne State nonetheless took three out of four from GVSU for the first time since 1997 and exceeded its 2007 conference win total (17).
May 4 Wayne State closed out the regular season with a pair of setbacks to Ashland in Detroit. In their final home game, the Warriors recognized their four seniors, including Ranck who made an “honorary” start in left field. Adam Kaminski came in for Ranck prior to the first pitch.
March 20 The Warriors, 2-7 through nine games, saw their losing skid reach six as they fell, 14-8, at Central Michigan. Going forward, however, they would lose only six of their next 34 games. March 29-30 Wayne State improved to 8-0 in GLIAC play with four wins over Mercyhurst, including two shutouts in the first doubleheader. The Warriors swept the Lakers as well as Gannon in consecutive trips to Erie and outscored their two foes, 51-13. March 31 Anthony Bass was named GLIAC Pitcher of the Week for recording his first career complete-game shutout two days before against the Lakers. He had 11 strikeouts and gave up only two hits in the 6-0 win.
April 30 The 18th-ranked Warriors split a pair of extra-inning games at Saginaw Valley State and clinched their first GLIAC regularseason title since 2005. Dunneback drove in the game-winning run with a one-out base hit in the top of the ninth for a 3-2 victory in the second game.
April 21 The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) national poll tabs the Warriors 27th, giving the team its third national ranking in school history. Wiseman was also named GLIAC Player of the Week after batting .478, slugging .783, and collecting 11 RBI and 11 runs over a sevengame period.

May 8 Prior to the start of the GLIAC Tournament at Dow Diamond in Midland, the league announced its postseason award winners. Bass was named Pitcher of the Year, Wiseman garnered Freshman of the Year honors, and Jay Alexander was selected Coach of the Year. Bass and Brett Witczak were First Team All-GLIAC selections, Kaminski and Dane Little took Second Team accolades, while Wiseman and LaPensee received Honorable Mention recognition.

May 29 Bass garnered All-America recognition as well from the Rawlings/ABCA national committee.
May 12 The team’s postseason hopes received new life as the Warriors were granted a berth in the NCAA North Central Regional tournament. Wayne State was seeded fifth for the playoff, held at Standard Bank Stadium in Crestwood, Ill.
Bass faced the minimum in each of the first five innings with the help of two double plays and six of his 10 strikeouts. The Eagles scored three unearned runs in the sixth, however, stemming from two WSU fielding errors. Meanwhile, Minard shut down the Warrior offense, allowing just six hits for his sixth complete game victory. Four Warriors were named to the All-Tournament Team – Wiseman, Churchward, LaPensee, and Bass.
June 8 Fourteen (14) members of the team were named to the GLIAC All-Academic Team – Churchward, Brady Cooper, Matt Cunningham, Caleb Dalman, Tim George, Tyler Hill, LaPensee, Little, Scott Martin, Justin Mazur, Ranck, John Skaggs, Wiseman, and Witczak. June 25 Cunningham and Witczak, along with softball player Lindsey Perry, were among the 12 studentathletes who received Spring 2008 GLIAC Commissioner’s Awards for academic and athletic excellence.

w a r r i o r s
May 22 Three players received Rawlings/ABCA All-North Central Region honors, including Bass who was named Pitcher of the Year in addition to his First Team selection. Kaminski was named to the Second Team All-Region, while Bass and Churchward were selected to the Gold Glove team for outstanding defense.
u n i v e r s i t y
May 17 Facing elimination, the Warriors ousted Northern Kentucky, 4-1, to stay alive in the tournament and set a school record for wins in a season (33). Kessick had his best performance in a WSU uniform, a complete-game victory in which he scattered eight hits and surrendered just one unearned run.
May 19 The 2008 season came to an end as the Warriors fell to the Eagles, 3-0, in the championship game. The contest featured a pitching matchup between Bass, the GLIAC Pitcher of the Year, and Ben Minard, the GLIAC and All-Region Player of the Year, both of whom were working on just three days rest.
June 5 In the fifth round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Bass was selected by the San Diego Padres with the 165th overall pick. He became the first Warrior to be drafted since Steve Squires in 2005, and the highest-picked WSU baseball player in program history.
s t a t e
May 16 In a wild game that nearly reached the four-hour mark, Wayne State was on the losing end of a 25-14 result against Ashland in the second round. The teams combined for 39 runs, the most in a WSU game since 1997, as well as 45 hits and six errors. Churchward matched his season-high with five hits, and LaPensee went 4-for-5 with four runs and six RBI.
With Ashland’s subsequent win over St. Joseph’s, a rubber game was set between the Warriors and Eagles in the finals.
w a y n e
May 15 In the opening round of the NCAA Regional, Wayne State earned a 7-3 victory over St. Joseph’s. Bass tied the school record for wins in a season, tossing his second straight complete-game victory. He scattered seven hits and struck out 12, one shy of his career-high.
Freshman Brett Shankin, who gave up seven runs over 2.1 innings in a start against the Eagles two weeks prior, allowed just two runs on nine hits in this start for his first complete game victory. He walked two and hit three batters but struck out five and stranded 12 Ashland runners on base.
w a r r i o r s
May 14 Bass and Kaminski were recognized on the Daktronics, Inc. All-North Central Region First Team as voted on by sports information directors in the region.
May 18 Wayne State advanced to the championship game of the NCAA Regional after earning a 6-2 victory over Ashland, completing a game that was suspended in the third inning the previous night due to thunderstorms.
June 3 Another All-America award was given to Bass, this a Third Team award from the NCBWA.
u n i v e r s i t y
May 9 Grand Valley State defeated Wayne State, 5-2, in the conference tournament, setting up a rematch between WSU and Findlay later that evening. Despite an eight-inning, 10-strikeout gem from Kessick, the Oilers scored twice in the ninth for a 4-3 win, sending the Warriors out of Midland without a tournament title.
s t a t e
May 28 Kaminski was chosen to the Daktronics, Inc. AllAmerica Honorable Mention team, becoming the first WSU baseball player to receive All-America recognition since Kenneth Hasshaw and Kevin Ponticelli in 1978.
w a y n e
Behind Bass’ first career nine-inning complete game, 29th-ranked Wayne State opened the tournament with a 3-2 win over Findlay. Bass, who tossed a five-hitter and struck out six, became the sixth Warrior in history to win nine games in a season.

ANTHONY BASS
2008 Individual Statistics • Eugene Emeralds (A)
In the fifth round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Wayne State University junior right-handed pitcher Anthony Bass (Trenton, Mich.) was selected by the San Diego Padres with the 165th overall pick on Thursday, June 5. Bass became the first Warrior to be drafted since Steve Squires in 2005, and the highestpicked WSU baseball player in program history. A Rawlings/ABCA All-America First Team and NCBWA All-America Third Team selection in 2008, Bass went 10-3 in 14 appearances last season, posting a 2.10 earned run average and 100 strikeouts in 85.2 innings He tied the single-season school record for victories and totaled the fourth-most strikeouts and fifth-most innings in Wayne State history. Bass was selected to the Daktronics, Inc. and Rawlings/ABCA All-Region First Teams, earning Pitcher of the Year honors from the latter organization as well as a Gold Glove for outstanding defense. He was also named GLIAC Pitcher of the Year and First Team All-GLIAC. In his three year career, Bass ranks in the top 10 all-time at Wayne State in several categories, including: second in strikeout/walk ratio (3.38), third in victories (21), tied for third in winning percentage (.700), fourth in strikeouts (206), seventh in starts (33), eighth in innings pitched (213.0), and tied for 10th in complete games (14). The WSU Department of Athletics held a special contract signing presentation for Bass one week later. Bass was joined by his parents, Ed and Linda, along with former WSU head coach Jay Alexander and current coach Ryan Kelley. Bass and Alexander addressed the crowd of media and athletic staff gathered in the Hall of Fame foyer at the Matthaei Athletic Complex. After reporting to the Padres’ spring training facility in Peoria, Arizona for an extended workout, Bass was assigned to the Eugene Emeralds, a Class A minor league affiliate of the Padres. In Eugene, Bass appeared in 25 games and went 2-2 with a 2.10 ERA. Serving as the Emeralds’ closer, Bass accumulated seven saves, tied for fifth-most in the Northwest League. He walked only 14 batters and totaled 41 strikeouts in 34.1 innings. At the end of the 2008 season, Bass spent a month in the Arizona Instructional League, where he successfully converted all three of his save opportunities and held opposing batters to a .195 average. He had an ERA of 1.48 and 14 strikeouts.

Wayne State University: World-Class Education in the Real World™ Wayne State University is Michigan’s only urban research university, a national, comprehensive institution that provides access to a world-class education. WSU students learn from some of the best scholars in the world. The university has close partnerships with many neighboring Fortune 500 companies, offering students unparalleled learning and internship opportunities. Students also have unrivaled connections to vast learning opportunities in Detroit and throughout Michigan. The 230,000 alumni who live in Southeastern Michigan offer unmatched access to mentors in virtually all career paths. Chances are the professionals Southeast Michigan relies on every day -- doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, nurses, teachers and accountants -- attended WSU. Nationally Recognized Schools and Colleges With more than 350 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in 12 schools and colleges, Wayne State meets the needs of most students. Day, evening and Saturday course scheduling makes it easy for working students to take classes. Courses are offered on the main campus in Detroit’s Midtown and at six satellite campuses throughout Southeastern Michigan -- in Clinton Township, Farmington Hills, Harper Woods, Madison Heights, Northwest Detroit and Port Huron. Leading-Edge Research Undergraduate and graduate students learn alongside world-renowned researchers at WSU. The university ranks among the nation’s top 50 public research universities, with $226 million in annual research expenditures, according to the National Science Foundation. Wayne State recently established the National Biofuel Energy Lab. The lab’s goal is to facilitate widespread use of biofuels, or fuels made from renewable resources such as vegetable oil, which can either be recycled from restaurants or culled from organically grown crops such as soybeans and sunflowers. Biofuels are biodegradable, nontoxic and have significantly fewer emissions than petroleumbased diesel when burned. The College of Engineering Smart Sensors and Integrated Microsystems lab is progressing toward breakthroughs with biosensors, including breast cancer detection and water and air contaminant detection. Retinal and cortical implants being developed by the lab may offer hope of vision and improved vision for the blind and seeing-impaired. The lab is also developing the next-generation technology in robotic surgery, including optical tissue diagnostics that provide instant biopsies in surgery. Wayne State also houses the Perinatology Research Branch, part of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which conducts major research in maternal-fetal medicine. Vibrant, Growing Campus Wayne State’s vibrant campus features more than 100 research and education buildings, and it is growing. The university has opened nine new buildings since 2000, including three residence halls with retail establishments, a two-story Barnes & Noble bookstore, a Welcome Center, the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center and the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. In fall 2008, Wayne State will open the Marvin I. Danto Engineering Development Center, an engineering facility that will grow sustainable energy technology, health care and biotech innovation and other high-tech industries. Wayne State’s residence halls feature on-site laundry and dining; staffed 24-hour reception desks; academic, social and personal programs; and rooms, each with private bath, high-speed Internet connection, cable and local telephone services. The Undergraduate Library is designed just for undergraduates, with more than 500 computer workstations and a 24-hour study center. In the heart of campus, students can get in shape with the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center’s extensive exercise equipment, free weights, fitness classes, 30-foot climbing wall, basketball/volleyball courts and running/walking track. Students enjoy easy access to all the amenities of a major city. Wayne State is within minutes of The Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Historical Museum, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, The New Detroit Science Center, Fisher Theatre, Fox Theatre, Max M. Fisher Music Center, Comerica Park (home of Tigers baseball), Ford Field (home of Lions football) and Joe Louis Arena (home of Red Wings hockey).

Academic Programs Available
s t a t e
Wayne State University CoSIDA Academic All-Americans
Tutorial Services, Writing Center, Mathematics Laboratory The university provides free peer tutoring in most subject areas either on a dropin or by-appointment basis. In the event that the Academic Success Center cannot provide tutoring for a specific class, the Department of Athletics has set aside funds to hire individual tutors. The coordinator works with academic department chairs to identify qualified tutors and is always available to arrange special individual or group sessions in a variety of areas. As in all other services, the office works in a proactive manner to provide assistance before academic problems arise.
w a y n e
Advising/Registration In conjunction with academic advisors in the University Advising Center, the coordinator assists student-athletes with term course planning and registration, including holding special student-athlete Orientation sessions to introduce them to NCAA and GLIAC eligibility requirements and departmental academic policies as well as to Wayne State University’s academic programs, procedures and regulations, and services. The office also works closely with academic advisors in all the university’s schools and colleges to ensure appropriate semester course selection and timely progress towards degree. The office serves as a clearinghouse for information about campus resources and student support services, university forms, enrollment deadlines and institutional academic policies and procedures.
Structured Study In an effort to help ensure the academic success and the development of consistent study patterns of student-athletes, the coordinator organizes supervised study sessions for each team.
w a r r i o r s
Counseling/Mentoring The coordinator meets with student-athletes individually and arranges for group meetings/workshops with other support service personnel regarding academic, athletic, career, and/or personal issues (for example, group sessions covering such topics as test-taking skills, time management, learning styles, etc.) The Department of Athletics has collaborative relationships with many other critical units on campus to help provide appropriate support services.
Over 200 student-athletes, faculty and staff attended the annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet held in April 2008.
u n i v e r s i t y
Academic Monitoring The Department of Athletics participates in the university-wide early alert system in which instructors in lower division classes provide notification to students and their advisors about unsatisfactory progress after the fourth week of classes. In conjunction with the coaching staff, requests for information about class attendance and performance are sent to each instructor. The academic coordinator tracks individual progress, schedules meetings with students as appropriate, and personally contacts instructors as necessary.

w a y n e
Athletic Academic Services The Wayne State Athletic Department has developed a comprehensive approach to academic services for its student-athletes. The department’s goal is to assist student-athletes in pursuit of their designated course of studies and ultimately to achieve graduation. This objective is facilitated by appropriate academic advising, major selection, tutorial assistance and other life skill development and academic support services. A major goal of athletic academic services is to significantly increase the department’s graduation rate over the next five years and to continually emphasize the success of WSU’s student-athletes in the community. Part of the initiative already has been realized by the department’s annual Spring Academic Recognition Banquet that not only honors student-athletes with a 3.5 or better grade point average, but also those individuals who will graduate that term. The name of each graduate is permanently displayed on a brick as part of the department’s “Wall of Fame.” The recognition is prominently displayed in the main concourse as you enter the Matthaei Athletic Facility Complex.

Robert M. Ackerman was named the 10th dean of Wayne State University Law School in May 2008. Dean Ackerman will also serve as WSU’s Faculty Athletic Representative. Professor Ackerman came to WSU from the Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law, where he taught torts, dispute resolution, conflict resolution theory, negotiation and mediation. He also served as chair of several committees and was the director of the Center for Dispute Resolution, the nation’s seventh-ranked law school dispute resolution program. A cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, Ackerman served as dean and professor of law at Willamette University College of Law from July 1996 to May 1999. While dean, the law school experienced a 60 percent increase in financial aid to law students, a revitalization of the alumni organization and annual giving, enhanced visibility of the Center for Dispute Resolution and Law and Government program, and an increase in the diversity of the faculty and student body. Ackerman has held academic appointments at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, the University of Vienna School of Law, the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, and Leicester Polytechnic School of Law. He has also been employed by the Denver firm of Holme Roberts & Owen and the Harvard Prison Legal Assistance Project. He has written extensively in the fields of torts, dispute resolution, communitarian theory and civic responsibility, and his scholarship has appeared in a wide variety of high profile publications. His recent essay, “Taking Responsibility,” was a winner of the international Communitarian Essay Contest. His co-authored book (with Robert F. Cochran Jr.) titled “Law and Community: The Case of Torts,” was published early in 2004. Ackerman is an active participant in professional groups related to conflict resolution, and recently completed a term as chair of the AALS Section on Law and Communitarian Studies. A founding member of Mediators Beyond Borders, he has been working on development projects in Tanzania with Penn State’s InterInstitutional Consortium for Indigenous Knowledge.
