A major experience whatever your major. There’s a place where desks, textbooks and college-ruled paper meet the bustle of city life. Where urbanites and academics breathe the same air. And artists rub elbows with intellectuals. It’s a world-renowned institution of higher learning located in the cultural hub of Detroit’s Midtown – with 13 schools and colleges offering more than 400 major subject areas. It may be close to theaters, museums and science centers but as Michigan’s only urban research university, it’s a million miles from any other learning experience.

ON THE COVER
The Wayne State baseball team plays in the heart of Midtown Detroit, and the 15 seniors leading
the 2012 squad are looking to achieve even more than in 2011, when WSU won a school-record
35 games and competed in the championship games of both the GLIAC Tournament and the NCAA
Midwest Regional (aerial photo by Vito Palmisano).
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.

2012 SEASON OUTLOOK
KYLE VESEY
PHIL SWANSON
Year three in the Ryan Kelley era saw the upward
trend of the Wayne State University baseball program
continue in 2011. Wayne State won a school-record 35
games and competed in both the GLIAC Tournament
and NCAA Midwest Regional championship games.
“In 2011 we had a nice run,” said Kelley, who has
a 92-67 record as the WSU skipper. “Now we want
to build off that experience and move forward into
2012.”
Experience and leadership will be critical to the
2012 version of the Wayne State Warriors. The squad
will blend 24 returning letterwinners with nine
newcomers who will look to make an immediate
impact.
Three of Wayne State’s 15 seniors will serve as
co-captains in 2012, including Phil Swanson who
returns to that role for the second year in a row.
Joining Swanson are classmates Billy Hurley and
J.J. Ciennik.
“They’ve done a fabulous job as captains so far,”
said Kelley. “They continue to work hard on and off
the field as representatives of our team.”
Hurley and classmate Josh Wedesky shared
WSU Most Improved Player honors last year and will
bolster a pitching staff which in 2011 posted the
lowest earned-run average (3.99) in 36 years and tied
the school record with 363 strikeouts.
Selected to the All-GLIAC and Daktronics All-
Region Second Teams, Hurley went 4-0 with eight
saves, the most since 2000, last season. His 1.30
ERA was the lowest since Bruce Finlayson’s program
record of 1.15 in 1969.
Wedesky tied the school record with 10 victories,
second-most in the conference, and had a 3.39 ERA
with 58 strikeouts. He won his first eight decisions
and picked up two more crucial wins in the NCAA
Midwest Regional.
“They both had big seasons and now they’re a year
older physically and mentally,” said Kelley. “We’re
looking for them to have a great year.”
Junior southpaw Alex Pierse won five games
and tied for eighth in the GLIAC with 49 strikeouts in
2011. Right-hander Kirk Stambaugh appeared in
11 games as a freshman including five starts, fanning
30 over 26.1 innings.
“Pierse and Stambaugh will both be catalysts in
the rotation, and we’re looking for big things out of
them,” said Kelley.
Other veterans on the pitching staff include senior
relievers Justin Sylvester, Corey Post and Matt
Mahalak, as well as sophomore Brock Bates.
Lefties Keaton LeBlanc and Christian Bilkovic will
also contribute in 2012 after redshirting last season.
Among those returning on the diamond are Alex
Trojan and Andrew Ciennik, who will join his
brother J.J. on the infield.
The top active Warrior in career batting average
(.316), Trojan has started 100 games at third base
over the last two years. He hit .323 with 33 RBI in
2011 and was particularly clutch in the postseason,
being named to the NCAA Midwest Regional All-
Tournament Team.
After starting 103 games at second base in the
last two seasons, Kelley projects Andrew Ciennik
to transition to shortstop for his senior season. J.J.
Ciennik, who played in 29 games last season after
missing most of 2010 battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,
will compete for the second base job but has the
ability to play anywhere on the field.
Kyle Vesey, who has started 103 games in
center field over the previous two years, will lead
the outfielding corps after finishing 2011 with a
.315 average, a career-high 33 RBI and a team-best
13 stolen bases. Swanson, a .296 career hitter, will
battle for a starting role in left.
“We’d love to see the culmination in their senior
years and have them go out with a blast,” said Kelley.
Ryan Buter hit .320 and led the team with five
home runs last season, his first as a Warrior, starting
32 games as either the first baseman or designated
hitter.
Kelley is pleased with the progress of sophomore
Chris Gebara, who has served as the DH but will
compete for a corner outfield spot. Other returners
who will give Kelley options in the outfield include
senior Justin DeFrancis, junior Brent Weil, and
sophomore Chike Springer.
A notable change in the Warrior lineup this season
will be behind the plate following the graduation of
All-American and four-year starter Michael Wiseman.
Junior Brad Guenther and senior Josh Schafer are
among those who will hope to fill the void.
“I think catcher is one of the premium positions
on the diamond at any level of the game, and Mike
Wiseman was a tremendous player for us,” said
Kelley. “Ultimately it’s going to come down to who
can execute and get the job done.”
Guenther, who played left field last year when
he wasn’t giving Wiseman a reprieve, hit .278 and
finished second on the team with 40 runs scored. He
also played errorless defense.
Schafer played in 11 games including eight starts
in 2010, and redshirted last year. Fellow senior Eric
Ramaekers is back as the bullpen catcher.
Versatility is the name of the game when it comes
to the rest of the supporting cast on the 2012 roster.
Junior Cameron Walker started 30 games at seven
different positions last season and hit .264 with 19
RBI. He had a .973 fielding percentage over his final
29 games.
Sophomore Jeff Sorenson saw time both on the
mound and in the lineup last year as well. Sophomore
A.J. Matos provides infield depth, as Kelley will also

look to plug in utility players Kasey Koster and
Mark Lepri, who both redshirted last season.
Amid the nine new Warriors are four freshmen
including Kyle Zimmerman, a highly touted recruit
out of Frankfort High School. Zimmerman was a four-
time All-State and two-time All-America selection,
and helped Frankfort reach the Final Four in the state
tournament every year. He is an accomplished pitcher
and hitter and is projected to contribute significantly
in both areas.
Outfielder Travis Rodery was Wyandotte
Roosevelt’s top hitter for three years and helped lead
the Bears to the district championship game in 2011.
Two Ann Arbor Pioneer teammates – utility player
Justin Sherman and right-handed pitcher Alex
Kinch – were part of the Pioneers’ run to the 2010
state title.
Infielder Kenny Davis, one of five transfers, was a
.300 hitter for two years at Grand Rapids Community
College after setting single-season records for batting
average (.464) and RBI (41) at Lee High School in
2009. Eric Cunningham started 30 games for
Notre Dame College last season, and can play both at
catcher and in the outfield.
Three pitchers with collegiate experience will join
an already-deep WSU staff. Ethan Vasiliauskas
pitched for two seasons at Jackson Community
College and was a First Team All-MCCAA selection in
2011 after posting a 7-2 record with a staff-best 2.35
ERA. His teammate at JCC, lefty Greg Spiess, went
5-2 with a team-high 53 strikeouts last year.
Chris Waha arrived at Wayne State to finish his
career after stops at Grand Rapids CC and New Mexico
Highlands. He appeared in 13 games for the Cowboys
last season and went 2-2 with 30 strikeouts.
For the second straight season the Warriors
will begin at the Armstrong Atlantic Savannah
Invitational, facing three opponents which they have never faced before, including Wayne State (Neb.)
College in the season-opener March 4. The last
Wayne State vs. Wayne State matchup in any sport
was a men's basketball contest at the Matthaei on
Nov. 25, 1998 (a 78-65 Tartars victory).
WSU will also face LeMoyne and Urbana before
heading farther south, “for some good games and
some nice weather,” said Kelley.
The Warriors will play two dates at Rollins College
and will spend the remainder of their Spring Break
at the RussMatt Invitational in Winter Haven, Fla.
On the schedule are Rockhurst, Minnesota-Duluth,
Indianapolis, Winona State and Mount Vernon
Nazarene.
Conference play will start with a four-game series
March 24-25 against Findlay, as Wayne State will
host 12 of its first 16 GLIAC contests. Other key home
weekends include April 6-7 vs. Northwood, April 21-
22 against Ashland and May 5-6 vs. Lake Erie to end
the regular season. Wayne State will play home-and-
home series with Hillsdale and Saginaw Valley State.
“Almost every game against every opponent is a
battle,” said Kelley.
The GLIAC Tournament is scheduled for May 10-12
at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. Wayne
State has qualified for the postseason seven times in
the last eight years, and certainly the Warriors hope
that 2012 is the year they break through and advance
to Cary, N.C., for the NCAA Division II Championship
Tournament.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ROB FOURNIER
the latest federally-mandated graduation rate report,
WSU student-athletes received an undergraduate degree
at a rate 26 percent higher than the comparable campus
population. These, and other academic achievements, are
recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he
started in 2001.
Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate
support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the
athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities
for WSU
student-athletes. In his 11 years, he has secured
$9,510,476 in revenue excluding an additional 1.374
million in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete
the following facility initiatives: football locker room;
multipurpose indoor facility; baseball’s replica Fenway Park
baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium
scoreboard on its famous “Green Monster facade; men’s
and women’s basketball locker rooms; softball grandstand,
walkway and press box; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor
for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board,
pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; 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 as well as
a softball locker room and coaches offices. The physical
transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative
and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as
well.
In the past seven years alone, student-athletes have
committed nearly 35,000 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 and Big Brothers/Big
Sisters.
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
Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at
Wayne State University on 1 September 2000, a lot has
changed. In those 11 years, the department’s competitive
success, classroom achievements, outreach initiatives in
the community and the physical structure of the athletic
campus has seen a significant transformation. That
development has followed a plan that focuses on positive
opportunities for today’s student-athletes and supporters.
The results have been telling.
WSU’s 11 best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup
standings (which measures the overall competitive success
of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred
in the last 11 years including the two highest marks ever
in the past three years – 11th in 2009 and 21st in 2010.
Those respective finishes secured that WSU would finish in
the top four and top seven percent of all Division II athletic
programs in those respective seasons. Eight of sixteen (16)
athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last
season. In those 11 years WSU has catapulted over 100
places in the NACDA rankings. Additionally, in those 11
years, 34 WSU coaches have been named Conference Coach
of the Year while three have gone on to be distinguished
as National Coach of the Year. For his efforts, Fournier was
honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in
the Central Region in 2008.
Also in 2010-11, the athletic department celebrated the
naming of 30 All-Americans. Not surprisingly, the 163 All-
Americans that have been honored nationally in the past
five years are the most in any like period and coincidently
exceed any 10-year period in the 93 years of WSU athletics.
Last year was also a record-setting year academically
and in the community. The Fall (2010) term’s cumulative
grade-point average for all student-athletes was 3.08.
Thirteen (13) of WSU’s sixteen (16) athletic programs had
cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00.
In addition, in only nine months, WSU student-athletes
contributed an exemplary 7,947 community service hours
volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. The rise in
both academic average and community outreach has been
dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in
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 will be
his third 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.
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 post-season Bowl
alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league,
Fournier investigated and reported on over 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.
He 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.
A licensed attorney, he 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 Akron in 1986 and was
admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still
licensed to practice.
WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS SINCE 191810
HEAD COACH RYAN KELLEY
The 2008 squad set the WSU record for wins (34, since
broken by the 2011 team), while coming within one win
of advancing to the NCAA Division II Championship round.
Over his entire career at Wayne State, the baseball
program has received 104 Academic All-GLIAC selections,
54 All-GLIAC awards and 37 All-Region honors.
In 2008, Anthony Bass and Adam Kaminski became
the first WSU baseball All-Americans in 30 years, and
three years later Michael Wiseman followed suit as an All-
American. In addition, six players under Kelley’s watch
have signed professional contracts with Major League
Baseball organizations - Brett Shankin (Seattle Mariners,
2011), Ryan LaPensee (Arizona Diamondbacks, 2010),
Justin Mazur (Kansas City Royals, 2010), Bass (San Diego
Padres, 2008), Steve Squires (Chicago White Sox, 2005),
and Randy Surratt (Chicago White Sox, 2004).
Kelley’s squad is very involved in the local community.
Since the 2008-09 school year the baseball team has
completed approximately 3,900 community service hours
through a number of outreach programs in Metro Detroit.
In 2009, Caleb Dalman received the distinguished WSU
Service Leader Award. Kelley also serves on the Board of
Directors with the Swing 4 Fences Foundation.
Ryan Kelley, who served six seasons on the Warriors’
staff including three as WSU’s pitching coach prior to
being named head coach in September 2008, enters his
fourth year at the helm in the 2012 season. Kelley is the
ninth head coach in the 72-year history of the Wayne State
University baseball program.
In 2011, the Warriors set a school record for wins (35)
and advanced to the championship game of the NCAA
Midwest Regional for the second time in program history.
Kelley was chosen as the 2010 GLIAC Coach of the Year
as his squad won 32 games and earned the GLIAC regular-
season and tournament championships. In 2009, Kelley
guided the team to 25 victories, as he broke his predecessor
Jay Alexander’s record for most wins by a first-year coach in
program history.
Since Kelley was named head coach, Wayne State has
established eight new offensive team records and produced
five top-10 pitching records. His success at WSU earned him
an invitation to coach at the Team USA Tournament of Stars
last June in Cary, N.C., where he assisted in evaluating and
selecting members of the 18U National Team which went
on to win Gold at the Pan American Games.
“I look forward to Ryan building on our successes in
baseball,” noted WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier
following Kelley’s promotion. “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.”
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 taking over as the athletic
department’s academic coordinator from February 2006
until his promotion to head baseball coach.
Originally from Northville, Kelley was a four-year 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 ball 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 worked in WSU’s sports information
office. 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.
“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 six seasons as an assistant coach at WSU, the
Warriors compiled a 161-148 record (.521), won two
GLIAC regular-season titles, made four GLIAC tournament
appearances, and advanced to the NCAA Regional twice.

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS SINCE 191834
2011 SEASON IMAGES
Michael Wiseman capped off a stellar career with three All-America
accolades in 2011. He was also named Division II Defensive Player of the
Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Wiseman set four
career records at Wayne State, was a two-year team co-captain and served
as president of the student-athlete advisory committee.
Wayne State student-athletes contributed over 8,200 hours of community service to the metropolitan
Detroit area. Approximately 1,500 of those hours came from the baseball team, which works closely
with organizations such as the LINK Mentoring Program and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Last October
the Warriors teamed up with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer to participate in the organization’s
five-mile walk fundraiser on Belle Isle.
Former Wayne State infielder Frank Jeney returned to the WSU
baseball field to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on April 30
as Wayne State hosted Grand Valley State. A four-time baseball
letterwinner (2002-05) and the 2005 GLIAC Player of the Year, Jeney
was inducted into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame two months prior.
The Warriors gathered in left field
to celebrate a thrilling victory in
the opening round of the GLIAC
Tournament in Chillicothe, Ohio. Brad
Guenther’s walk-off three-run double
in the bottom of the 12th inning capped
off a wild 7-6 win over Ashland. The
four-hour game including a 45-minute
lightning delay in the 12th inning.
Wiseman embraced fellow senior Matt Rustulka after
the right-hander turned in the best performance of
his WSU career, allowing just five hits and striking
out seven in the Warriors’ 4-2 triumph over Northern
Kentucky in the NCAA Midwest Regional. The
win was the school-record 35th of the year for the
Warriors and set up a rematch with GVSU in the
championship game the following day.
Brett Shankin signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners in June after the organization drafted him in the 28th
round. An All-GLIAC and All-Region selection in 2011, Shankin went 7-3 with a 2.79 ERA and a 4.67 strikeout/walk ratio in his
final collegiate season. Representing Seattle’s scouting department were Brian Williams (left) and WSU Athletic Hall of Famer Ken
Madeja, the central supervisor for Mariners scouting and special assistant to Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik.

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS SINCE 191840
TEAM HISTORY
The 2012 season will mark the 72nd year of baseball at
Wayne State University. In that time, WSU has won 1,078
games, claimed six conference championships as well as three
regular-season titles, and made four appearances in the NCAA
Regional tournament.
The baseball program began in 1941 under head coach
Joseph E. Truske, who led the Tartars to a 5-7 record in his first
season.
Wayne State Athletic Hall of Famer William “Rip” Collins
became WSU’s first baseball All-American in 1946. Recording
a .325 batting average as the squad’s second leading hitter and
notching a lofty .625 slugging percentage, Collins also led the
team in runs with 13, tied for the team lead in hits with 12,
and registered a .956 fielding percentage as an outstanding
catcher.
After a four-year hiatus during which time Leo Maas took
over, Truske returned to the team in 1946. The next season,
Wayne State posted its first winning record (8-3), finishing in
second place in its only year in the Mid-American Conference.
The Tartars were guided through the latter half of the
1940s by standout players such as Ronald Teasley (1945, 1947),
who holds the school’s single-season (.500) and career (.415)
batting average records; John Wingo (1949-51), who totaled
87 strikeouts in three years and is the current school record-
holder for fewest hits allowed per nine innings (5.74); and
George Shuk (1946-49), who batted .375 over his four-year
career including a .462 mark in 1947.
Wayne State struggled through most of the following
decade, but in 1959, one year after the team won a then-
school record 12 games, WSU posted a perfect 6-0 record in
the Presidents Athletic Conference, winning the league title in
Wayne State’s first season in the PAC and Truske’s final season
at the helm.
Leon Lande took over in 1960 and won 76 games over
nine seasons. His teams featured some of the best pitchers
in program history, including Bruce Finlayson (1966-69) and
Hall of Famers Bob Kloss (1967-70) and Gordon Reck (1968-
71). The trio possesses three of the top four career earned-run
averages ever recorded at Wayne State, the lowest belonging
to Kloss (2.27).
Reck, a lefty who walked on to the team in the late 1960s,
set or tied 12 Wayne State pitching records during his career.
He remains WSU’s all-time leader in career strikeouts per nine
innings (11.22), while his records for innings pitched (224.2)
and strikeouts (280) remained intact for over two decades. In
1971, Reck went 9-2 with a 1.52 ERA, and threw a no-hitter in
a 2-1 victory over Buffalo as well as a one-hitter in a 1-0 win
over Central Michigan.
Reck’s career ended midway through the tenure of head
coach Bob Samaras, who led the Tartars to 82 wins over five
seasons. His .654 winning percentage (17-9) in 1969 is the
third-highest in school history.
Christ Petrouleas took over in 1974, and during his six-year
tenure several All-Americans emerged, the first of which was
Paul Janas, another Hall of Famer who garnered All-America
status in 1974 – the first baseball player to do so since Collins –
after batting .397 with a .504 slugging percentage and setting
or matching five WSU single-season records. He also received
Academic All-America honors in 1974 and 1975, the first
Wayne State student-athlete in any sport to do so.
Greg Brecht, another WSU Hall of Fame inductee, became
an All-American in 1975 after hitting .342 with four home runs
and 22 RBI. He hit seven homers in 1976, Wayne State’s first
season in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference,
while driving in 32 runs and walking 33 times on his way to
being named to the first All-GLIAC team.
Three key components to the teams of the late 1970s
were all inducted into the WSU Hall of Fame together in 1994.
Dave Zelmanski (1975-78) hit .352 for his career and led the
nation with nine triples in 1978, setting a school record. Kevin
Ponticelli (1976-79) led the 1978 Tartars with a .411 batting
average with a then-school record 34 RBI. Angelo Gust, who
would take over as head coach in 1980, had been an assistant
under Petrouleas since 1974.
The 1978 team went 27-16 (.628) and set school records in
batting average (.343) and triples (31) which still stand today.
It wasn’t until the 1980s, however, that Wayne State would
reach championship status.
Gust led the Tartars to three straight 20-win seasons,
including the 29-16 year of 1982. Wayne State won GLIAC
Championships all three years, and Gust was named the
conference Coach of the Year each season.
As a head coach Gust compiled a 174-151-2 overall record
in nine seasons, the highest winning percentage (.535) among
the nine men who have directed the program. The Tartars had
only two losing seasons under Gust, and four times cracked the
20-victory barrier. During Gust’s tenure eight of his nine teams
had winning records in GLIAC play.
Two-time All-GLIAC First Team selection Mark Limback
(1979-82) was also named the league’s Player of the Year in
1982 after batting .405 with 11 home runs, a .741 slugging
percentage and a school-record 56 runs batted in. Fellow Hall
of Famer David Croskey (1979-82) supplemented his career
.304 batting average with outstanding baserunning ability,
swiping 112 bases including a single-season record 43 in 1982.
The Tartars went 27-21 in 1987, but it would be the last
time WSU finished with a winning record for 10 years.
Rodger George’s 14-year career as head coach began in
1989. He won 272 games in his tenure, was named GLIAC
Coach of the Year in 1998 after leading the Tartars to their
fourth GLIAC title, and won a then school-record 32 games the
following season in 1999.
Several standout players left their mark on the program
under George’s watch, including Hall of Fame catcher John
Miele (1996-99), a two-time First Team All-GLIAC selection.
He hit .424 in 1999, fifth-best in school history, with 54 RBI
and a WSU-record 21 doubles on his way to being named the
conference Player of the Year.
Sadly, George passed away in October 2002 after a
10-month battle against brain cancer. Jay Alexander, a former
Tartar and George’s assistant coach since 1998, was named the
program’s eighth head coach in December.
Alexander led WSU to its first NCAA Regional appearances
in 2005 and 2008, winning 32 and 34 games in those seasons,
respectively. The Warriors also achieved their first national
ranking in program history in 2005.
Frank Jeney (2002-05) was the 2005 GLIAC Player of the
Year, and Kyle Hill (2004-07) matched Hall of Famer Michael
Newsted’s (1999-2001) career record of 24 victories.
In addition, two pitchers were selected in the Major League
Baseball draft under Alexander’s watch. Steve Squires was
taken in the 49th round of the 2005 draft by the Chicago
White Sox, and Anthony Bass was selected in the fifth round
– highest ever for a WSU player – in 2008.
Ryan Kelley, who took over following Alexander’s departure
for Eastern Michigan, led WSU to 25 wins in 2009, the most
under any first-year coach in program history. The following
year, WSU went 32-20 and won the GLIAC regular-season and
tournament championships. The Warriors set a school record
with 35 wins in 2011 and advanced to the NCAA Midwest
Regional championship game for the second time since 2008.
Ryan LaPensee (2007-10) surpassed Jeney as WSU’s all-
time hits leader in 2010, and Michael Wiseman (2008-11),
Wayne State’s career RBI king, was a three-time All-American
in 2011 and the Division II Defensive Player of the Year.
William Collins, Wayne State’s first baseball All-American,
was inducted into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984.
Former shortstop Frank Jeney was the 2005 GLIAC Player
of the Year and WSU’s all-time hits leader until 2010. He
was enshrined in the Hall of Fame last year.

ALL-TIME LETTERWINNERS
WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS SINCE 191856
WARRIORS IN THE PROS
Former WSU outfielder Ryan LaPensee signed a free agent contract with the Arizona
Diamondbacks in November 2010, becoming the first position player from WSU to sign with an
MLB team since Jason Copeland signed with the Detroit Tigers organization in 1998.
LaPensee spent his first professional season with the Visalia Rawhide of the California League.
He played in 74 games and batted .244 with 58 hits, 24 RBI and 19 runs scored.
He ended his collegiate career as Wayne State’s all-time leader in hits (279), runs scored
(195), doubles (50), total bases (386), games played (200), and at bats (696). LaPensee posted
a .401 career batting average, second only to Hall of Famer Ronald Teasley (1945, 1947) who
had a .415 average. LaPensee is also the only player in Wayne State history to hit .400 or better
three times in a career.
Former WSU right-hander Anthony Bass, a non-roster
invitee to the 2011 San Diego Padres spring training camp,
made his major league debut June 13 at Coors Field in Colorado.
He picked up the win after five strong innings, allowing just
one run on five hits as the Padres defeated the Rockies, 3-1.
After being sent back to the San Antonio Missions (AA), he
was recalled June 26 and remained with San Diego for the rest
of the season. Bass made 24 relief appearances before his next
start Sept. 21, once again at Colorado.
In 27 outings with San Diego, Bass went 2-0 with a 1.68 ERA
and 24 strikeouts over 48.1 innings.
The 2011 season was Bass’ fourth as a professional. He
spent most of the first half with San Antonio and was named to
the Texas League South Division All-Star Team.
He has a 29-17 career minor league record with a 2.86 ERA
and 307 strikeouts over 95 games (68 starts).
A fixture on the WSU pitching staff from 2006-08, Bass was
an All-American in 2008 and the GLIAC Pitcher of the Year.
Selected by the Padres in the fifth round (165th overall) in
2008, Bass was the first Warrior drafted since Steve Squires in
2005, and the highest-drafted player in program history.
Bass appeared in 25 games for the Eugene Emeralds in 2008
and went 2-2 with a 2.10 ERA. He accumulated seven saves,
tied for fifth-most in the Northwest League, walked only 14
batters and totaled 41 strikeouts in 34.1 innings.
The 2009 opening day starter for the Fort Wayne TinCaps,
Bass went 9-3 with a 2.19 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 18 starts,
and was selected as a Midseason All-Star before being called
up to the Lake Elsinore Storm.
He finished the 2009 season with the Storm and had a 3-0
record with a 3.51 ERA in 10 appearances.
Bass led all minor leaguers in the Padres system with a
2.55 overall ERA in 2009. He also finished with the third-most
victories (12) and the fifth-lowest WHIP (1.22).
Bass went 8-7 for Lake Elsinore in 2010. He totaled 109
strikeouts, led the California League with a 3.13 ERA and was
both a Midseason and Postseason All-Star.

WSU ACADEMICS
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 honors student-athletes with a 3.5 or better term grade point average. 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.
Over 200 student-athletes, faculty and staff attended the
annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet held in April.

Academic Monitoring
The Department of Athletics participates in the university-wide early alert system in which instructors
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.
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.
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.
Tutorial Services, Writing Center, Mathematics Laboratory
The university provides free peer tutoring in most subject areas either on a drop-in 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.

SPORTS MED./STRENGTH & COND./FACILITIES
The Wayne State sports medicine department is led by head athletic trainer Michael Chan and assistants
Steve Domzalski, Natalie Herter, Katie Minahan and Josh Priehs. All five are members of the National Athletic
Trainers’ Association and provide medical care to the Warrior student-athletes.
The sports medicine staff is responsible for all aspects of the sports medicine program including injury
prevention and management, first aid, injury rehabilitation, and drug and alcohol education. Athletic trainers
are present at Warrior home and away events to ensure for the health and safety of all student-athletes.
During the summer of 2009, the Matthaei athletic training room underwent a major renovation. WSU
now has over 1,000 square feet of updated sports medicine space for increased treatment/rehabiliation and
storage areas. Other special features include: a new hydrotherapy area with three therapeutic whirlpools, a
designated team physician examination office, and additional office space for the sports medicine staff. In
addition to a new air-conditioning system for student-athlete comfort, a new aesthetically pleasing entry
corridor was created to allow for easier access to the athletic training room.
The Warrior Strength and Conditioning program strives to maximize every Wayne State student-athlete’s
potential through the use of safe, effective, and time efficient training protocols with an emphasis on intensity
and execution, while minimizing the risk of injury.
The weight room, located on the lower level of the Matthaei Athletic Building, provides Warrior student-
athletes with over 3,000 sq. feet of work space to accomodate a vast array of equipment which includes over
13,000 pounds of weights, as well as a cardio area. At the completion of their workouts, student-athletes
receive Gatorade and nutrition shakes to aid in their recovery.
Head strength coach Ruben Mendoza, along with assistants Bryce Karasiak and Matt Paja, directly oversee
all aspects of the student-athletes’ workout regimens. A wide variety of training modalities are employed from
power lifting and Olympic lifting, to machine based, dumbbell and kettle bell, and strong-man type lifting.
The future of Wayne State athletics includes a multi-purpose student-athlete complex which will house
a state-of-the-art 10,000 sq. ft. training facility and athletic offices.
The Wayne State University baseball field is located on the northeast corner of the WSU athletic campus,
adjacent to the tennis courts and the newly-constructed Multipurpose Indoor Facility along the John C.
Lodge Service Drive.
In the summer of 2003, the baseball facility underwent a substantial renovation to create a replica
of Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, around the perimeter of the outfield. New bullpens were
installed in right field, as was a new scoreboard attached to the marquee which overlooks the M-10
Freeway.
Wayne State completed construction on two new in-ground, Major League-style dugouts in October
2008. Funding for the project was achieved through alumni and corporate support, as well as through a
sizable grant from the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, a joint initiative between Major League Baseball and the
Major League Baseball Players Association.
The most recent addition to the Wayne State baseball field is the Tiger Stadium left-field scoreboard,
which is currently mounted on WSU’s Green Monster wall in left. The scoreboard was one of over 200 pieces
of Tiger Stadium salvaged by the City of Detroit and the Detroit Historical Society for preservation purposes
in October 2007 before the stadium was razed in 2009. Tiger Stadium first opened on April 20, 1912, at the
corner of Michigan Avenue and Trumbull Boulevard, less than two miles south of the WSU athletic campus.
Last fall, the new Multipurpose Indoor Facility was opened on the Wayne State athletic campus. The
facility has 35,000 square feet of space with a height of 35 feet. Within this area is a specially built mondo
surface with four tennis courts and a 60-yard sprint track. All 15 teams can utilize the facility for practices
and conditioning, including the baseball team as student-athletes have additional space to work on
hitting, pitching, long-tossing and other team activities in a climate-controlled environment.
The facility also consists of six new offices for Warrior coaches, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and
a training room. The baseball team has its own locker room within the facility located near its home
first-base dugout, which includes 37 lockers as well as a flat-screen television donated by the 2005 GLIAC
championship team.
