Pacific Baseball boasts three All-Americans in program history as Dan Reichert earned the honor in 1997, while Justin Baum was a Freshman All-American in 2005. More recently, current Tiger Nick Longmire repeated Baum’s success as a freshman last season, becoming the third player in Pacific history to earn All-American honors.

In 2009, Pacific welcomes back 20 returning letterwinners as Head Coach Ed Sprague enters his sixth season with a new coaching staff. During the summer of 2008, Sprague brought aboard Don Barbara, Mike McCormick and Chris McCormack to his staff after the three worked together at Sacramento State. Barbara is especially familiar with the Big West Conference, as he spent seven years as an assistant coach at Long Beach State (1997-99, 2001-04). For the second straight season, Sprague has Wes Yourth as his director of baseball operations. Rounding out his staff, Sprague will be joined by Noah St. Urbain as an undergraduate assistant coach, after Noah spent three of his four collegiate years with the Tigers (2005, 2007, 2008).

Of the 20 returners, the Tigers have eight seniors, six juniors and six sophomores. New to the roster this year are four junior transfers and seven freshmen.

“I think the biggest thing for us is that we have several seniors who will see some significant playing time. The season depends on how well those guys execute,” Sprague said. “They know the style of Big West play pretty well. It really boils down to them going out, using their experience and playing good baseball.”

PITCHINGExpected to split the role of the staff ace this season will be seniors LHP Joey Centanni (San Diego, Calif.) and RHP Cole Akins (Seattle, Wash.). Centanni’s 4.97 ERA was the team’s second best in 2008, and he logged the fourth-most innings pitched with 41.2. Akins just topped Centanni with 49.1 innings in 2008. Sprague said that Centanni will take the hill Friday nights for Pacific, followed by Akins on Saturday and junior RHP Hunter Carnevale (Roseville, Calif.) will close out the series as the Sunday starter. Senior RHP Mark McCain (Dallas, Texas) has proven that he can withstand many innings a week and will most likely be Pacific’s mid-week starter, while coming out of the bullpen in relief during weekend series. McCain recorded 17 appearances last season, with the team’s second-most innings pitched at 84.1

Among other relievers who will see some time this season are junior RHP Andrew Mintun (Stockton, Calif.), senior RHP Larry Holscher (McArthur, Calif.), junior LHP Jamie Niley (Elk Grove, Calif.) and junior LHP David Rowse (Pleasanton, Calif.). Mintun led the team last year with a 3.60 ERA and posted a 2-0 record in relief while holding opposing batters to a .184 average.

As for the closer, Sprague can rely on sophomore RHP Thomas Berolzheimer (Stockton, Calif.), who found success dabbling in that role as a freshman last season. Berolzheimer will again have the opportunity to come into his own as a closer and will be given the ball for Pacific in save situations this year. “Thomas Berolzheimer has done very well. He’s a guy who throws a lot of strikes,” Sprague said. “He can hold runners, he fields his position very well, he’s got a good out pitch and had a good strikeout per inning ratio last year.”

CATCHINGEntering the new season as a 2008 All-Big West Conference Honorable Mention recipient, senior Joe Oliveira (San Diego, Calif.) will lead Pacific’s battery as the starting catcher in 2009. Oliveira recorded a .968 fielding percentage last season with 248 putouts from behind the plate. In confer-ence, Joe finished third in the Big West for runners caught stealing at 22. Offensively on the basepaths, Oliveira led Pacific with 24 stolen bases in 28 attempts. He will be looked upon to do the job in 2009 and will also be a main component in the batter’s box, as his .271 batting average was the Tigers’ sixth-best last year.

“We’re fortunate we’re returning a three-year starter in Joe Oliveira. He’s been a two-time All-Big West Player, last year he was honorable mention and two years ago he was a first-team player,” Sprague said. “Joe’s a tremendous defensive catcher. He’s a good catch and throw guy, he threw 64 percent out last year. This year, offensively he’ll be much improved from last year. He brings a good deal of speed too.”

McCormick will be working all season with additional options behind the plate as senior Kurt Wideman (Fallbrook, Calif.) and freshman Derek Baum (San Diego, Calif.) will also see time in catcher’s gear. The Tigers have versatility and a range of options in whoever they put in the field. Oliveira manned the outfield last season when Wideman stepped behind the plate in 2008. Similarly, when Oliveira donned the catcher’s gear, Wideman logged time fielding the first, second and third base positions. Wideman is a natural de-fensive option for the Tigers as his 199 putouts last season rank second only behind Oliveira’s 248.

“I think it’s got a good balance. It’s certainly very difficult,” Sprague said about the strength of schedule this year. “It’s always a challenging schedule, but hopefully with our experience we’ll be able to handle it a little better this year.”

Baseball America’s Pre-season Top 25 list includes five of Pacific’s 2009 opponents, with the highest-ranked being conference foe, No. 5 Cal State Fullerton. The Tigers will open the season on the road at No. 8 Baylor. Other ranked schools in Pacific’s 2009 schedule include No. 9 UC Irvine, No. 11 San Diego and No. 14 Stanford.

The Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division I Pre-Season Baseball Poll released the top 40 Division I teams in December 2008 and lists No. 30 UC Santa Barbara and No. 39 California in addition to Baseball America’s selections.

“I think the conference has gotten stronger and stronger every year. I think that’s come from the middle-of-the-pack teams, not necessarily the top teams,” Sprague said. “The middle of the pack has raised the conference level up quite a bit, so it’s a challenging schedule. Anybody can beat anybody on a given day of the week, and I think everybody knows that.”

The Tigers play host to 26 games at Klein Family Field this year and compete in 55 overall contests in 2009. Pacific’s home schedule begins on Tuesday, Feb. 24 against Sacramento State under the lights at 5:35 p.m.

Big West Conference play begins from the familiar confines of Klein Family Field when Pacific hosts UC Davis from Mar. 27-29, starting at 5:35 p.m.

Finally, the Tigers close out regulation play against Cal State Bakersfield in its first year of baseball competition. The Roadrunners will take turns filling in the odd-man-out slot in the nine-team Big West Conference throughout conference play during the second half of season, concluding with three games at Pacific from May 22-24.

In 2009 the Tigers have a great deal of experience and versatility to rely on and Sprague will look to that talent to be competitive against his top-ranked schedule.

“My expectation is that we use the expereince that we have and maintain our confidence level no matter what happens the first couple of weekends,” Sprague said. “It’s a long year and I think we’re a more improved team than we have been in the last couple of years. We’re a closer knit crew, so hopefully we can continue to play that out as the season goes on.”

INFIELDReturning to lead the infield are sophomore J.B. Brown (Alvin, Texas) and junior Mike Walker (Marysville, Calif.). While Brown proved he had the range to serve as an infield utility player last year, he will have the opportunity to develop his career strictly as a second baseman this season. At second, the Tigers have a back-up option in freshman Josh Simms (La Mesa, Calif.).

Walker has locked up third base for 2009, after spending some time there last season. He furthered his cause with strong offensive numbers that put him in a position to start this season. Walker posted a .293 average in 44 games for the Tigers last season.

As for the rest of the infield, fans can expect to see several new faces in 2009. After a successful fall campaign, junior transfer Ben Gorang (Turlock, Calif.) has solidified his place as the infield’s anchor in the shortstop position this season. The starting shortstop at Merced College in 2008, Gorang was named first team all-league in the Central Valley Conference last season. As another middle infield option, Sprague can call on junior transfer Scott Isbell (Carlsbad, Calif.) to field the shortstop position. Prior to coming to Pacific, Isbell served as San Diego City College’s shortstop, hitting .260 with two home runs, 25 runs and 10 stolen bases.

“Ben Gorang has won that job pretty much outright, and Scott Isbell will also see some time there as a back-up, but Gorang has come in as a junior college transfer from Merced and has done very well defensively.”

The Tigers’ infield will see another junior transfer as Niley will serve as the go-to first baseman when he’s not pitching out of the ‘pen. After two years at Cosumnes River College, Niley rightfully laid claim to a First Team All-Big 8 Conference award, when he hit .338, with a .613 slugging percentage, 41 runs, 54 hits, 38 RBI, 14 doubles, three triples and eight home runs.

OUTFIELDHeadlining the outfield for Pacific in 2009 will be 2008 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America and All-Big West Conference Honorable Mention Nick Longmire (San Diego, Calif.) in left field. Longmire led the Tigers in three categories last year: overall batting average (.323), triples (three) and RBI (31) and on defense did not have an error in 54 Big West chances.

Longmire will be joined by Centanni in center field, who is slated to start on days when he is not pitching. On Fridays, if Centanni is on the mound for Pa-cific, Sprague will fill in center field with either junior Matt Fuson (Lodi, Calif.) or freshman Brett Christopher (Livermore, Calif). Nick Longmire also has the range to slide over to fill in the gap at center from time-to-time.

That leaves senior Mike McKeever (San Diego, Calif.) as Pacific’s starting right fielder in 2009. McKeever’s .311 batting average was the third-highest on the team in 2008, and he led all players with a .518 slugging percentage. When he’s not in, the Tigers can go to freshman Alan Riley (Fresno, Calif.) for another arm in the outfield.

Off the bench, Sprague can call on freshmen Kyle Dodge (Sonora, Calif.) and Ronnie Burton Jr. (Colorado Springs, Colo.) to take to the outfield this season. Both freshmen had impressive senior seasons at their respective high schools in 2008, and will serve as valuable replacements both in the field and on offense. Dodge hit .436 as a senior at Sonora High School, while Burton was only the third person in Air Academy High School history to surpass the .600 batting average mark in a single season. Additionally, Burton holds single season records for hits (49) and RBI (49), which he set in 2008.

“We have more interchangeable parts this year than we’ve had in the past,” Sprague said. “We got some guys who can play infield and outfield, which is nice.”

SCHEDULEAs in past years, Sprague has again compiled an extremely competitive schedule for the 2009 season.

According to Boyd’s World, Pacific’s overall schedule is the 11th strongest of all Division I schools across the nation. Discounting Big West Conference match-ups, the Tigers’ non-conference strength of schedule is ninth in the country.

.: Head Coach :.

Ed Sprague33 .: Sixth Season :.

Head coach Ed Sprague enters his sixth season at the helm of the Pacific Baseball program in the spring of 2009. He has a combined 110-171 record in his first five seasons with the Tigers, highlighted by the first back-to-back 30-win seasons in school history as the Tigers finished 2006 at 30-25, after posting a 30-28 mark in 2005.

In addition to his coaching efforts, Sprague’s biggest accomplishment at Pacific has been spearheading a campaign to build an on-campus home field. That vision became a reality on Oct. 15, 2004, as the Tigers officially broke ground on Klein Family Field, the Tigers’ new on-campus stadium. The stadium officially became the new home of the Pacific Tigers on April 18, 2006, as Pacific defeated Nevada, 8-3, in the inaugural game.

Sprague’s 110 career victories have him in fourth place in Tiger history for most coaching victories. Meanwhile, his winning percentage (.391) is 10th among Pacific’s 16 head coaches.

Between the lines, Sprague’s arrival brought a championship pedigree to Pacific Baseball as he was the starting third baseman on the 1987 and 1988 NCAA Championship teams at Stanford. He finished his career among the school’s all-time leaders in home runs (2nd with 41) and RBI (4th with 178). A 1988 All-American, he hit .339 with 22 home runs and 81 RBI. He was also a two-time All Pac-10 Conference selection in 1987 and 1988. For his accomplishments, Ed was a 2002 inductee into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame.

In the summer of 1988, Sprague collected another championship as he won a Gold Medal with USA Baseball in the Summer Olympics.

Following his collegiate career, Ed was selected in the first round of the 1988 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. He made it to the Major Leagues in 1991 with

• Oversaw fundrais-ing for construction of Pacific’s first on-campus facility, Klein Family Field, since 1951

• Guided Pacific to first back-to-back 30-win seasons

(2005 & 2006)

• Two-Time MLB World Series Champion with Toronto Blue Jays

the Blue Jays and enjoyed an 11-year career as a big leaguer. His knack for winning championships continued at the major league level as Sprague helped the Blue Jays win back-to-back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993. Later in his career, as a Pittsburgh Pirate, Sprague earned a selection to the 1999 All-Star Game. Sprague hit 152 career home runs and tallied 558 RBI, including single-season bests with 36 home runs and 101 RBI in 1996 with Toronto. He also played with the Boston Red Sox, Oakland A’s, Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres.

A Stockton native, Sprague returned to his home prior to the the 2003 season as an assistant coach at St. Mary’s High School, helping the Rams to a Sac-Joaquin Section playoff berth. The following summer he took over as the 16th head baseball coach for Pacific. Sprague is one of two Olympic athletes in his family as his wife of 16 years, Kristen Babb Sprague, was an Olympic gold medalist in synchronized swimming in 1992. Ed and Kristen have four children, Payton (14), Jed (12), Paris (9) and John (2).

.: Don Barbara :.

Don Barbara31 .: First Season :.

• Recruited and coached eight Major League players including:

Bobby Crosby (Oakland Athletics), 2004 AL Rookie of

the Year

Evan Longoria(Tampa Bay Rays),2008 AL All-Star,

2008 AL Rookie of the Year

Paul McAnulty(Boston Red Sox)

Don Barbara comes to Pacific after three seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Sacramento State (2004-2007). Don served as the Hornets’ hitting coach, infield coach, third base coach and recruiting coordinator. Before his tenure at Sacramento State, Don spent seven years as an assistant coach at Long Beach State (1997-99, 2001-04).

Barbara’s instruction at the plate paid immediate and long lasting dividends for the Hornets as the Sacramento State team batting average increased from .251 prior to his arrival to .289 in 2006, .280 in 2007 and .311 in 2008. Barbara’s tutelage also impacted the Hornets’ defense, helping the team fielding percentage improve from .960 in 2005 to .964 in 2006, .968 in 2007 and finally to .970 in 2008. The .970 field percentage posted in 2008 tied a Sacramento State record for the highest fielding percentage in school history.

At Long Beach State, Barbara helped lead the Dirtbags to six regional NCAA appearances in his seven seasons, including a trip to the College World Series in 1998. Serving mainly as the hitting and third base coach while at Long Beach State, Barbara also instructed first basemen and outfielders while assisting with all aspects of recruiting.

Barbara’s playing days are just as decorated as his coaching resume. A member of the Long Beach State Hall of Fame, Don was one of the original Long Beach State Dirtbags on the 1989 team that played on an all dirt infield and earned a trip to the College World Series. An All-American first baseman for two seasons, Barbara was selected as the Big West Conference Player of the Year and Division I Hitter of the Year in 1990 after batting .474 with 102 hits, 69 runs and 27 doubles. In January of 2007, Barbara was voted to Long Beach State’s all-time greats list, comprised of the program’s top 30 players from 1954-2006. He was the fourth leading vote getter, behind Jered Weaver, Jason Giambi and Bobby Crosby.

After leaving Long Beach State via the draft, Barbara spent six seasons (1990-1996) in professional baseball. He was drafted in the 24th round by the then-California Angels. He reached as high as Triple-A for the Angels in 1992 and also played for the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers (1993), the Los Angeles Dodgers (1994) and the Boston Red Sox (1995). In 1994, Barbara batted .352 for the Pacific Coast Champion Albuquerque Dukes.

Barbara completed his undergraduate degree in kinesiology from Long Beach State in 2001.

Don and his wife, Corrie, have been married for nine years and have two children, Madison (9) and McKenzie (7).

.: Player Profiles :.

2008 (Junior):Akins saw significant time for the Tigers in a variety of roles last season with 49.1 in-nings pitched over a span of 20 games and five starts, placing him third overall in both games and innings pitched. His one win of the year came against UC Santa Barbara on April 5, when Cole came in for 1.2 innings of scoreless relief to garner a 4-3 victory over the Gauchos. Cole’s longest outing of the year was on Mar. 7, when he gave the Tigers a 7.1 inning start against Gonzaga early in the season before the Tigers fell 8-4. Prior to that performance Akins fanned a season-high eight batters in 6.1 innings against Washington in a 10-1 loss on Feb. 29, adding significantly to his 33 season strikeouts. He also displayed poise and control on the mound over a four-game stretch in April, pitching without a single earned run in relief for Pacific. Cole continued to prove useful in many pitching roles throughout the year, earning one save as a closer against Stanford on Mar. 21, in Pacific’s 10-6 victory.

2007 (Sophomore):Cole developed into one of the Tigers’ most versatile pitchers during his sophomore sea-son. Akins appeared in 25 games in 2007, including six starts. Cole entered the 2007 season as a reliever and spot starter. Midway through the season, Akins was asked to serve as the closer, converting back-to-back save opportunities against San Jose State

on Mar. 18 and UCLA on May 24. Against the Spartans on Mar. 18, Akins did not allow a hit during the final 1.2 innings of Pacific’s 5-3 victory. Just under one week later, Cole limited UCLA to one run on three hits in Pacific’s 4-3 victory. During the final six weekends of the season, Cole moved into Pacific’s starting rotation. He finished the season with a 2-4 record, two saves and a 5.49 ERA.

2006 (Freshman):In his first year with the Tigers, Cole appeared in five contests out of the bullpen. Akins allowed three runs on nine hits in 6.2 combined innings. Cole did not allow a run in three of his five outings in 2006.

High School:Akins graduated from Eastside Catholic High School in Bellevue, Wash. in 2005. A three-year letterwinner in baseball, Cole was named the team MVP following his senior season. Akins finished 2005 with a .610 average, six doubles, three home runs and nine stolen bases. Cole also contributed for Eastside Catholic on the mound as he notched three saves.

2008 (Junior):Centanni’s injured labrum from 2007 continued to sit him out during the beginning and end of his junior season, but throughout the middle part of the year he served almost entirely as a starting pitcher for the Tigers. He did not make his season debut until Mar. 24, but after a four inning performance with only three hits and one earned run allowed, Joey proved he was worthy of a starting role. Though he only played in nine games last season, Centanni finished fourth on the year with 41.2 innings pitched, and his 4.97 ERA was the second-lowest on the team. On April 20 against Cal State Ful-lerton, Joey nearly tossed a complete game, going eight innings deep with two earned runs and four strikeouts in the 2-1 loss. He followed that appearance up with another solid outing, pitching six innings at Long Beach State on April 27, despite the Tigers dropping a 7-6 decision.

2007 (Sophomore):One of the Tigers’ most promising pitchers entering the 2007 season, Joey was limited by an injured labrum in his left shoulder. Centanni appeared in just six games on the mound, posting an 0-5 record and a team-leading 4.32 ERA. Although the injury pre-vented Centanni from pitching, Joey found other ways to contribute to the Tigers as he made his offensive debut during his sophomore campaign. Joey appeared in 26 games

at the plate, posting a .303 batting average with 23 hits, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI. Centanni finished tied for the team lead with five stolen bases. Centanni played his first handful of games in the outfield, but the injured labrum forced Joey to serve only as a DH. Cen-tanni was finally shutdown entirely on Apr. 1.

2006 (Freshman):The Tigers’ 2006 freshman of the year, Centanni appeared in 18 games, including 12 starts for the Tigers. With a combined 6-4 record, Centanni closed the season by nabbing All-Big West Honorable Mention as he led the Tigers with six wins and three complete games. Centanni was second on the team with a 2.77 ERA and with 87.2 innings pitched. Joey’s best performance of the season came on Apr. 14, as he allowed just one run on four hits in a 2-1, complete game victory over UC Santa Barbara. Centanni’s performance earned him Co-Big West Pitcher of the Week honors. In his final two starts of the season, Centanni collected back-to-back wins over Washington and Cal State Northridge, allowing a combined two runs on eight hits in 16 innings.

High School:Centanni graduated from University of San Diego High School in San Diego, Calif. in 2005, where he earned a combined five letters in baseball (three) and basketball (two). Joey finished with a 1.56 ERA in 31 innings. He allowed just seven walks while striking out 29. Following the season, Centanni was named his team’s MVP. He also earned All-CIF and All-Western League honors. A dual threat for the Dons, Joey posted a .442 average with 47 hits and 12 stolen bases in 2004. Centanni’s senior season was limited to just three games due to an injury to his thumb, but prior to the injury Centanni posted a .714 average with five hits in seven at-bats with one RBI.

Personal:Joseph Centanni is the son of Lou and Del Centanni. He has two siblings, Maria (22) and Louie (21). In his fourth year at Pacific, Joey is a communication major.

In honor of 2008 Red Ribbon Week, Director of Baseball Operations Wes Yourth and pitchers Joey Centanni, Hunter Carnevale and Thomas Berolzheimer were invited to Great Valley Ele-mentary School to talk about substance abuse on Oct. 17.

During two assemblies of 1,000 students held at the Great Valley gymnasium, the Tigers held skills camps, gave away baseballs and signed auto-graphs. The first assembly consisted of around 600 K-5 students, while the second assembly con-sisted of 400 sixth to eighth graders.

Yourth introduced his players to the assembly and initiated a talk about drug use and then opened up to the baseball players to interact with the chil-dren. The students had the opportunity to attend throwing, hitting and running stations and received demonstrations from the Division I athletes.

“I really enjoyed it, anything with teammates helping out the community and hanging out with the kids is great,” said Centanni.

After the segment on drugs and alcohol, the ath-letes spoke about the importance of attending college and how to play sports at the collegiate level.

“I think they really enjoyed it,” Centanni said. “Ev-erybody would raise their hands and answer our

.: 2009 Red Ribbon Week :.

questions and really get a good perspective on something they might want to do later in life.”

Gregory Berry, a fourth grade teacher at Great Valley Elementary, called Yourth and invited him to come out with a couple of players this year, as the teacher before him held the same assembly several years prior.

Red Ribbon Week is an annual campaign aimed at alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention awareness and runs from Oct. 23-31.

Junior lefty David Rowse spent his 2008 summer break in the Arctic Circle in the Alaska Collegiate League with the Mat-su Miners. During a double-header against the Anchor-age Bucs on Jul. 30, Rowse led the way to a 4-0 first-game victory with eight shutout innings, allowing four hits and only six runners, five of which never made it past first base. For his consistent work all summer long, he earned the nickname of the “Crafty Lefty” from his coach Conor Bird.

Two Tigers saw international playing time in the Western Baseball League of Saskatche-wan, Canada. Sophomore outfielder Nick Longmire and sophomore righthanded pitcher Thomas Berolzheimer put on red jerseys for the Yorkton Cardinals. Longmire played in nearly every game of the 2008 season and led all batters with a .323 batting average in 198 at-bats. Berolzheimer led the Tigers with 25 appearances last summer.

Four Tigers played for the McKinney Marshals in the Texas Collegiate League. Senior catcher Joe Oliveira, sophomore third baseman J.B. Brown, junior utility infielder Mike Walker and senior southpaw Joey Centanni spent their summer together in the Texas heat. In his last appearance of the summer during a game terminated early due to rain on Aug. 3, Brown came up in the top of the fourth with the bases loaded and singled to put the Marshals on the board over the Brazos Valley Bombers. Two back-to-back walks in that inning completed the inning, putting McKinney up 3-0 before the game was called. Before that appearance, Brown launched two homers and drove in three runs in the Mar-shals’ 6-5 loss to the Coppell Copperheads on Jul. 25. His teammate Centanni was an integral part of Marshal relief pitching. In back-to-back appearances on Jul. 20 and 26, Joey was one of three pitchers to preserve a 5-1 victory over the Bombers and then was one of four to maintain a pitching gem with a 6-0 shutout against Brazos Valley.

In the Pacific International League, senior pitcher Cole Akins landed a starting role early on for the Everett Merchants and did not disappoint, especially with his consistent dominance over one of the top 10 teams in the National Baseball Congress, the Seattle Studs. While the Merchants just missed out on the National Baseball Congress World Series, Akins was so talented and valued as a pitcher in the league that the Amarillo Outlaws from Texas picked up the righty to play in the post-season tournament. Akins only had three days’ rest in between starts and turned in a complete game effort with only four hits against the Wichita Sluggers for an 11-1 victory on Aug. 3. In that game, Cole pitched eight innings, allowed only one run and struck out 10 batters. He followed that up with a 7.1 inning appearance against the LA Rockies, giving up two earned runs and striking out 10 more to receive a no-decision in the Merchants’ 12-6 loss on Aug. 7.

The remaining six Tigers stayed relatively close to home in various leagues throughout California. Representing the Sierra Baseball League were four players from both the Lodi Grape Sox, coached by Wes Yourth, and the Humboldt Crabs rosters. Junior hurler Hunter Carnevale was the only Tiger to play in Humboldt last summer. Over 17 appearances he appeared in 38.2 innings. Junior outfielder Matt Fuson, senior pitcher Larry Holscher and senior righthander Mark McCain rounded out Pacific’s Sierra Baseball League

players with the Grape Sox. Fuson went one-for-two at the plate during the All-Star game in which his team, the North, fell to the South 7-5.

Senior catcher Kurt Wideman and sophomore righty Corey Kohnke spent their summer playing for the Maxim Yankees of the Califor-nia Collegiate League. During the same World Series playoffs Akins competed in, the Yankees dropped a 5-2 decision to the San Diego Waves on Aug. 4, placing them into the loser’s bracket.

From there the Yankees turned in a six-game winning streak from Aug. 6 to Aug. 12, defeating their first two opponents by 10 runs or more. However, the Yankees could not continue their late-tour-nament run and fell, 12-2, to the Havasu Heat for a seventh-place finish in the 44-team tournament.

Wideman finished his summer with a .304 batting average, 24 hits, six doubles and 14 RBI. From the mound, Kohnke posted a 2.93 ERA in 10 appearances, averaging one strikeout per each of his 30 innings of work.

.: The Big West Conference :.IMPORTANT DATES IN BIG WEST HISTORY

July 1, 1969 - The desire to form a Division I football conference sparks the formation of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA) with seven charter members: Fresno State, Long Beach State, San Jose State, UC Santa Barbara, Pacific, Cal State Los Angeles and San Diego State. The conference sponsors 11 men’s sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, gymnastics, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, water polo and wrestling. J. Kenneth Fagans is named commissioner on a part-time basis.

June 3, 1976 - The conference approves the split of the PCAA baseball league into two leagues separate from the PCAA. The Southern California Baseball Association (SCBA) and the Northern California Baseball Association (NCBA) consist mostly of members of the PCAA and the West Coast Athletic Conference. PCAA Commissioner Jesse Hill agrees to govern the SCBA.

June 8, 1979 - SCBA member Cal State Fullerton wins the NCAA Baseball Championship with a 2-1 victory over Arkansas.

May 17, 1984 - The conference council approves the reformation of PCAA baseball for the 1985 season, thus eliminating the SCBA and the NCBA.

June 10, 1984 - SCBA champion Cal State Fullerton wins its second NCAA Baseball Championship. The Titans prevail over the University of Texas, 3-1.

July 1, 1988 - The conference changes its name from “PCAA” to “Big West Conference.”

May 14, 1995 - Cal State Fullerton defeats Long Beach State, 8-4, to claim the title in the inaugural Big West Baseball Tournament in Long Beach, Calif.

June 10 , 1995 - Ca l S t a t e F u l l e r t o n c l a im s i t s t h i r d Co l l ege Wor l d Series title with an 11-5 win over USC. The Titans become the first No. 1 seed in College World Series history to win the title. In addition, CSF becomes the 14th team in CWS history to advance through the regionals and series undefeated.

January 8, 1996 - Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge are invited to join the Big West as associate members in softball starting in 1997. Sacramento State’s baseball team is invited to join the league as an associate member also in 1997.

February 9, 2000 - Cal State Northridge and UC Riverside are formally invited to join the Big West beginning with the 2001-2002 season.

May 26, 2003 - For the first time ever two Big West schools were given regional host-bids by the NCAA. Long Beach State hosted its first regional, while Cal State Fullerton hosted its third. Each would advance to the Super Regional.

June 8, 2003 - With a 7-1 victory over Arizona State, Cal State Fullerton advanced to its 12th College World Series and ninth as a Big West member. The Titans would come one win shy of reaching the best-of-three championship series.

June 27, 2004 - A two-game sweep of Texas in the College World Series clinches Cal State Fullerton’s fourth national championship, its second championship as a member of the Big West Conference. After a 15-16 start, the Titans won 32 of their next 38 games.

May 29, 2005 - Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State both hosted the NCAA Regionals - making it the second time two Big West schools have hosted the event. The Titans went on to host their fourth Super Regional.

July 1, 2007— A ninth school from the Golden State – UC Davis – became the newest member of the Big West Conference after completing a four-year reclassification process from Division II to Division I.

MAJOR LEAGUE TALENT

The Big West boasts a sizable number of alumni who have moved on to baseball’s highest level and are contributing to the successes of their respective teams.

Some of the Big West’s more prominent alumni wearing major league uniforms include 2000 American League Most Valuable Player Jason Giambi (Long Beach State), 2001 National League All-Star Phil Nevin (Cal State Fullerton) and 2004 American League Rookie of the Year Bobby Crosby (LBSU). Other notable major leaguers who honed their skills in the Big West are Jered Weaver (LBSU), Mark Kotsay (CSF), Brady Anderson (UCI), Michael Young (UCSB), Barry Zito (UCSB), Troy Tulowitzki (LBSU) and Reed Johnson (CSF).

The list goes on and on, and the supply does not appear to be in danger of shortage. The Big West produces an annual bumper crop of players in the MLB amateur draft that ranks the confer-ence among the highest represented in the nation. The Big West had a league record 50 players selected in the two-day Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft with Long Beach State’s Shane Peterson being the conference’s first player taken, 59th pick in the second round by the St. Louis Cardinals. The league opened the first day with 12 players drafted and followed that up with 38 nabbed in the final day of the 2008 MLB draft. Peterson, Big West’s Co-Player of the Year, was the first of 11 49ers drafted to pace the league. Cal Poly was second among Big West schools with eight players picked during the 2008 MLB draft. UC Davis’ seven draftees were paced by 2008 Big West Co-Player of the Year Jake Jefferies. UC Santa Barbara also had seven players drafted, with catcher Chris McMurray (18th-Cincinnati) kick-starting a busy second day for the Gauchos. UC Irvine had six Anteaters selected, including 2008 Big West Tri-Pitcher of the Year Scott Gorgen. The 2008 Big West Co-Champions, Cal State Fullerton, had six selections, while UC Riverside saw four Highlanders selected and Cal State Northridge had one selection.

HEADING TO OMAHAThe Big West Conference has enjoyed a tradition of representation at college baseball’s premier event, the NCAA College World Series, a showcase of the nation’s best teams battling for the national championship in Omaha, Neb. The Big West has featured a contender for the coveted crown on an almost annual basis, as a Big West school has reached Omaha in 15 of the past 20 seasons. Cal State Fullerton brought home the Big West’s first national title in 1995 and then brought home a second as the 2004 national champ. Here is a breakdown of Big West participants in the College World Series over the years (baseball was not sponsored in the Big West from 1977-84).

Pacific Baseball 5252 53

The win against Minnesota secured the Tigers’ first series victory and came right on the heels of another complete game victory by freshman Tyler Waldron (Pilot Hill, Calif.). On Mar. 14, Waldron tossed a career-high 11 strikeouts, then concluded his night allowing three hits and one walk in his 1-0 shutout.

In their final home game, the Tigers said a symbolic goodbye at home to seniors John Joines (Milpitas, Calif.), Brett Manning (Boulder, Colo.), Noah St. Urbain (Stockton, Calif.), Adam Ching (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.), Greg Murray (El Cerrito, Calif.), Isaac Kamai (Nanakuli, Hawaii) and Jason Haar (San Diego, Calif.). Pacific then closed out conference play with an 8-4 victory over Cal State Northridge on May 18, 2008. The win against the Matadors was the second in the series, marking the first series win of the Big West Conference for the Tigers last year, ending conference play on a high note to carry into the next season.

Led by Kurt Wideman (Fallbrook, Calif.) and Walker, who went 3-for-4 at the plate in the first game of the Cal State Northridge series, Pacific unloaded for a 17-5 domination of the Matadors. The Tigers scored their 17 runs on 15 hits, as eight of the nine starters each connected at the plate. Hunter Carnevale (Roseville, Calif.) garnered the win after pitching five scoreless innings in relief. He faced 19 batters and only allowed one hit and two walks.

Offensively, Ching secured his name in several spots in Pacific’s record book after a solid four-year campaign with the Tigers. The senior’s 703 career at-bats ranked him fifth in Pacific history, and his 213 career hits are the second most recorded by any Tiger. Ching also recorded 288 total bases in his four years, good for the fourth-best all-time record at Pacific.

The Tigers’ second half of the 2008 season came together on a strong note, as the players started to find their niches on the diamond instead of shuffling through utility roles. That experience, along with time against top-ranked national teams, will continue along with the squad in 2009 as the Tigers look to get back on a winning track, after Sprague led his teams to 30 wins in the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

.: 2008 Season Recap :.In the Tigers’ second full year at Klein Family Field, Head Coach Ed Sprague earned his 100th win with Pacific on Mar. 15, 2008, when the Tigers posted a 3-1 victory over Minnesota. However, Pacific could only re-cord 10 more wins throughout the remainder of a very strong schedule.

At the start of the season, several Tigers were given the opportunity in 2008 to fill holes left by departing seniors, as Sprague using players in a variety of options. This allowed for flexibility off the bench and in the field, but hampered the team slightly as they were trying to define their roles throughout the season.

Throughout the first half of the 2008 season, individuals stepped up when needed to take charge and help lead the Tigers to victory, showing promise for a cohesive team after finding a late-season groove.

Although freshman Nick Longmire (San Diego, Calif.) was not originally expected to lead the Tiger offense, he let his bat do the talking and earned a starting role in the outfield. Longmire finished with Pacific’s best batting average at .323 and led the team with 31 RBI by the close of 2008. His 18 multi-hit games and 11-game hitting streak also led the Tigers offensively. For his strength in the batters box, Longmire was named 2008 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America as well as an All-Big West Honorable Mention.

Similarly, Mike Walker (Marysville, Calif.) earned a starting third base position. The sophomore finished the year with 37 starts in 44 games played. He went .293 at the plate, with 25 runs scored, 43 hits and 26 RBI. Those numbers landed Walker in the top five in each category for Pacific last season.

On the day that turned Sprague into a 100-win club member, junior right-hander Mark McCain (Dallas, Texas) earned Collegiate Baseball / Louisville Slugger’s National Players of the Week honors after a com-manding performance against Big Ten opponent Minnesota. Getting the nod as the No. 2 starter, McCain went to the hill on Saturday, Mar. 15, and dominated a complete game 3-1 victory over the Golden Gophers with 15 strikeouts. It was the most strikeouts a single Pacific hurler recorded since former major leaguer, Dan Reichert, on Feb. 14, 1997. The feat was even more spectacular since McCain had only been used out of the bullpen up until that point.

.: Klein Family Field :.

Klein Family Field, the first on-campus home for the Pacific Baseball team since 1951, officially opened on April 18, 2006 as the Tigers defeated Nevada, 8-3. Klein Family Field was made pos-sible by a generous donation from the Klein family.

“We feel very excited and fortunate that a gracious local family (the Kleins) would be honored to put their name on a stadium that we feel is going to be the cornerstone for bringing Pacific Baseball to the next level,” said Pacific Tigers baseball Head Coach Ed Sprague.

Family patriarch Sol Klein came to Stockton in 1917 and soon became known as the father of youth baseball here. He estab-lished a 16-team grammar school league, donating uniforms and equipment to poor children; helped found Little League Baseball in Stockton and was one of the founders and first president of the Stockton Baseball Club, now the Stockton Ports. His son, Bud Klein, played baseball for Pacific and then Stanford before he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 1950. While Bud did not

pursue a major league baseball career, he has brought the University great honor by entrusting to it the education of numerous family members.

Bob Corkern, a spokesman for the Klein family, says the gift to Pacific’s baseball program is prompted as much by their enthusiasm for the university as it is their love of the game.

University of the Pacific Director of Athletics Lynn King maintains that the community also benefits from the new baseball complex. Summer camps and youth leagues use the facilities when not used by the university, and the ability to host college tournaments and playoffs is expected to bring economic benefits to local business.

During the fall of 2007 the Tigers continued to renovate Klein Family Field, adding new batting cages and lights to the ballpark.

Klein Family Field holds a capacity of 2,500 spectators. The field dimensions are 317 feet down the left field line, 380 feet at the left field power alley, 395 feet to straight-away center field, 367 feet at the right field power alley and 325 feet down the right field line.

Construction continues in 2009 with the building of two new luxury boxes in the upper concourse of Klein Family Field.
