Strength & Conditioning

Athletic Training

The Murphy Center, still considered one of the athletic department’s newest facilities, is located between Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium and Ming-es Coliseum. It’s one of the largest and best-equipped strength and con-ditioning centers in the country.

ECU’s Board of Trustees approved the project in the spring 1997, thus putting it into the athletics department staff’s hands to make this 52,475-square-foot, two-story strength and conditioning/Pirate Club multipurpose center a reality.

ECU’s strength and conditioning programs for its student-athletes are based out of the 22,000-square-foot first floor of the $13 million facil-ity. The weight room has revolutionized the Pirates’ strength and con-ditioning efforts.

The center opened for workouts in June 2002 and was dedicated at ECU’s home football game on September 14, 2002.

The second floor of the building features a private dining area for re-cruits as well as a 9,000-square-foot banquet hall and a large terrace with a view of the football stadium for Pirate Club functions.

Scattered throughout the facility is a stunning array of photomurals, sports memorabilia and trophies.

Because of its location behind the Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium endzone and its connection to Minges Coliseum and the Smith-Williams Center (ECU Athletics Hall of Fame), the Murphy Center is an ideal place for Pi-rate Club members to socialize at both football and basketball games.

East Carolina University’s student-athletes train for competition under the direct supervision of Assistant Athletics Director for Strength and Conditioning Jeff Connors. The 2016-17 full-time strength staff consists of assistants Brandon Golden,Justin McClelland, Dan Millington and Katelyn Woolfork.

The student-athlete at East Carolina University has the luxury of having one of the most dedicated health care teams in the Southeast. Directed by Mike Hanley, Associate Director of Athletics for Student Services, along with trainers, Krista Carano, Nathan Clark, Ben Crawford, Chris D’Errico, Jake Moore, Daniele Petty, Dr. Sharon Rogers, Karen Stuart and Zac Womack, and team physician Dr. Joe Armen. The ECU Athletic Training program pro-vides every Pirate student-athlete the best available care for their injuries. Hanley, the 2009 National Athletic Trainer’s Association (NATA) Trainer-of-the-Year, and his staff are assisted by a wide array of community-based physicians and other health care providers.

East Carolina University

East Carolina University is a 109-year-old public university nationally rec-ognized for preparing educators and primary care physicians and for its cultural and performing arts programs.

It enrolls more than 28,000 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral stu-dents and is North Carolina’s largest preparer of initially licensed teachers and baccalaureate nurses, and the state’s most influential preparer of pri-mary care physicians who practice in rural and underserved communities. Among the college and schools, East Carolina operates the Brody School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine, College of Engineering and Technolo-gy, and a growing undergraduate Honors College.

Our motto is Servire, or To Serve.

Quick Facts• Military Ties: ECU is located near four major military bases, including

Camp Lejeune and Fort Bragg, and in 2010 won the Freedom Award from the United State Department of Defense for its support of military fami-lies and service men and women.

• Economic Muscle: East Carolina’s economic impact is estimated at $2.8 billion statewide, with more than $1.8 billion in eastern North Carolina.

• Primary Care: The Brody School of Medicine has consistently been ranked by the American Academy of Family Physicians among the top five (often No. 1) in the nation for the percentage of graduates who choose residencies in family medicine each year. The school is a nation-al model for producing family physicians who practice in rural and un-derserved communities. Nearly 60 percent of Brody graduates remain in primary care five years after graduation – the highest percentage of any medical school in North Carolina.

• Dental Medicine: ECU dental students spend their fourth year training and serving patients at community service learning centers located in eight underserved areas across the state. The method prepares them to practice and also encourages engagement with rural communities. Our second class of graduates headed into practice or residency in 2016.

• Leading in Preparing Teachers: ECU’s Partnership East program, funded by a private sector grant, helps fill an urgent need for teachers in North Carolina’s rural classrooms by providing scholarships allowing residents of rural communities to complete their senior year teaching internships without leaving home. Seventy-five percent of Partnership East gradu-ates are teaching in North Carolina and 94 percent of those are teaching in eastern North Carolina.

• National Recognition for Engagement and Public Service: East Carolina received the prestigious C. Peter Magrath Award for University/Commu-nity Engagement in 2012 from the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities for its partnership with and service to the citizens of West Greenville through the Lucille W. Gorham Intergenerational Center.

• Improving Lives: Dr. Sam Sears, a psychologist and researcher who is the world’s authority on cardiac psychology, performs groundbreaking work

to help cardiac patients improve their quality of life. His work toward the welfare of the human race won him the highest faculty honor in the UNC system, the O. Max Gardner Award, in 2013.

• East Carolina again has been named one of four national finalists for the 2016 Magrath Award, this time for the Brody School of Medicine’s MATCH Wellness program – an interdisciplinary, community-university partner-ship created to combat childhood obesity.

• Dr. Carmen Russoniello, director of ECU’s Center for Applied Psychophys-iology, was awarded the 2015 James E. Holshouser Jr. Award for Excel-lence in Public Service for his work using biofeedback in the treatment of wounded warriors with PTSD.

Other NotablesEast Carolina nurtures a culture of high academic achievement on cam-

pus; the Honors College received nine times the number of applications over the number of open slots this year.

In addition, we integrate public service into the custom learning expe-rience of our highest performing students, immersing them in leader-ship and learning that requires service projects as part of the Honors Col-lege curriculum.

We are a highly diverse campus, with minorities making up 32 percent of our undergraduate, 36 percent of our medical and 26 percent of our dental students.

ECU students, faculty, and staff engage in 238 campus-communi-ty partnerships.

More than 70 percent of ECU seniors have participated in a communi-ty-based service-learning project.

Dr. Cecil P. Staton is East Carolina University’s 11th chancellor after for-mally being elected to the position by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors on April 27, 2016.

From 2014-2016, Staton served as vice chancellor for extended educa-tion for the University System of Georgia. In that role, he was responsible for strategic initiatives related to international education, continuing and professional education, entrepreneurial education and military affairs. He was also USG’s liaison with the Georgia Research Alliance and supported USG’s economic development initiatives and efforts to match the resources of USG institutions with Georgia’s evolving workforce needs.

From 2015-2016, Staton also served as interim president of Valdos-ta State, a regional USG institution with 11,300 students. In that role, he focused on retention, improving student success and better marketing and branding to reverse recent enrollment declines and associated bud-get shortfalls.

Staton also served as associate provost at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, a multi-campus institution with professional programs includ-ing medicine, law, business, education, pharmacy, engineering and nursing. In addition to teaching in the College of Liberal Arts and serving as an administrator, he led Mercer’s University Press and secured more than $4.5 million to help endow the academic publishing program.

Staton began his academic career at Brewton-Parker College in Mount Ver-non, Georgia, where he was an assistant professor of religion from 1989-91.

Staton’s private-sector experience includes founding and leading three communications companies: Smyth & Helwys Publishing, a publisher of books and curriculum products; Stroud and Hall Publishers, a publisher of books on politics and current events; and Georgia Eagle Media, a holding company for broadcasting, newspaper and media properties.

In 2004, Staton was elected as a Georgia state senator representing the state’s 18th District. He served five terms before retiring in 2014. While in the legislature, he was recognized as a leader on health care and higher education matters.

Active in professional and civic organizations, Staton has been rec-ognized numerous times for his service and leadership. His awards and honors include the Georgia Independent College Association’s 2014 Mill-er-Deal Award for significant public service in higher education; Legis-lator of the Year awards from the Georgia Hospital Association, Georgia Technology Association and Georgia Rural Health Care Association; and the Georgia Ambulance Association Star of Life Award.

Staton, a first-generation college student, is a native of Greenville, South Carolina. He has a bachelor’s degree in religion from Furman Uni-versity in Greenville, South Carolina, master of theology and master of divinity degrees from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest and a doctorate in Old Testament, Hebrew and ancient Near Eastern studies from the University of Oxford in England.

Staton, who began his duties at ECU on July 1, has written or edited numerous books and articles.

He and his wife, Catherine, have two children: Cecil P. Staton III, a fi-nancial planner in Atlanta, and William Davidson Staton, a student at DePaul University in Chicago.

Director of AthleticsJeff Compher(James Madison ’80)

Jeff Compher, a veteran collegiate athletics administrator with a doc-umented history of developing champions in the classroom, in compe-tition and in life, is in his fourth year instilling that vision of unparalleled broad-based success in a leadership role at East Carolina University.

Beginning with his first day on campus as ECU’s Director of Athlet-ics in April, 2013, Compher engaged student-athletes, coaches, staff and the Pirate Nation to embrace the role of moving forward and proactive-ly plan for the challenges of the future. His return to the state of North Carolina has already delivered a foundation centered around the stu-dent-athlete experience, a deliberate focus on winning with integrity and an aggressive plan to promote the ECU Pirate brand and its values.

The final fundraising phase of the Smith-Williams Basketball Practice Facility and the initial launch of the department’s Undaunted Strategic Plan were all completed under his direction during the 2013-14 academ-ic year. In addition, Compher’s first season of competition in Greenville was notable as the Pirate football program rolled to their second-high-est victory total in school history, both basketball teams advanced to postseason play and the track and field squad captured Conference USA indoor and outdoor titles.

A year later he provided a guiding and supportive hand during East Carolina’s inaugural campaign in the American Athletic Conference, which was highlighted by league championships in men’s swimming and baseball. Cliff Godwin, who was Compher’s first ECU head coaching hire, brought a high level of intensity and excitement back to Clark-Le-Clair Stadium during his debut as the Pirates’ skipper – capping a 40-win season with a NCAA Regional appearance in 2015.

In November of 2015, Compher coordinated and then announced a 10-year exclusive partnership with the sports brand adidas (beginning July 1, 2016). The top-tier all-sport, multi-year agreement allows the depart-ment to reallocate money previously spent on apparel to other areas, including the cost of attendance and enables East Carolina to take the next step in terms of brand recognition and national exposure.

Men’s swimming captured another conference title in the winter of 2016, while the Pirates’ baseball program captured its first-ever NCAA Super Regional victory after winning the Charlottesville Regional in thrilling fashion.

Additionally, Compher’s executive leadership qualities were quickly recognized and valued by his colleagues in the American Athletic Con-ference who elected him as Chairman of the Athletic Directors Commit-tee for 2016.

Compher’s appointment at East Carolina ended a five-year tenure as associate vice president and director of athletics at Northern Illinois Uni-versity.

Under Compher’s direction, Huskie student-athletes excelled academ-ically as all 17 of NIU’s intercollegiate programs surpassed the NCAA’s Ac-ademic Progress Rate every year during his stay at the Dekalb school that featured an enrollment of 22,000. His department also had seven Academic All-America selections, two National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes, an NCAA Woman-of-the-Year finalist and three NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners.

The Northern Illinois football team won its second-straight MAC crown in 2012 and became the first Mid-American Confer-ence team to play in the Bowl Championship Series by gain-ing a berth in the Discover Or-ange Bowl.

An emphasis on long-range planning and the ability to work with constituencies with-in and outside the university community have become well-known staples of Compher’s administra-tive and leadership skills over the past 15 years.

His administrative efforts were recognized with his selection as one of four FBS Athletics Director-of-the-Year by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in the summer of 2013.

Compher arrived at NIU after nearly four years at the University of Washington, where he served as executive associate athletic director and was responsible for the general management and daily operations of the department. Prior to his move to the Pacific Northwest, Compher led the athletics program at Southern Conference member Western Car-olina University from 2000 to 2004.

While he put his own distinct fingerprint on capital projects, facility ren-ovations and fundraising at NIU with the construction of the school’s new indoor training center and record-breaking annual gift levels, Compher was directly involved with successful similar entities at both UW and WCU.

As associate and then senior associate athletic director at Vanderbilt University for four years, Compher directed nearly every area of the de-partment, including external affairs from 1998 to 2000. Prior to that, he oversaw NCAA compliance, academic support, strength and condi-tioning, equipment and CHAMPS/Life Skills areas for the Commodores.

Compher spent 13 years in several different positions at North Carolina State University. As the Wolfpack’s assistant athletic director from 1986 to 1992, he managed the student-athlete support services units, estab-lished the first life skills program and handled scheduling for the foot-ball and men’s basketball teams. He was the assistant to the chancellor at NC State before moving back into athletics administration after relo-cating to Nashville.

His first position in collegiate administration was at NC State, where he was the assistant director of Housing and Residence Life from 1982 to 1986.

Throughout his career, Compher has continued his education, partic-ipating in the NACDA Management Institute (1998), the Sports Manage-ment Institute Executive Program (1998-99) and the Division I-A Athletic Directors’ Institute (2005 and 2006). Most recently, he attended the U.S. Marine Corps Executive Forum at the Pentagon and participated in the Senior Leader Engagement Program (SLEP) sponsored by United States Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter in the late summer of 2015.

Compher, 58, earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from James Madison (Va.) University, where he was a football student-athlete, in 1980, and graduated with a master’s degree in counseling and student personnel services from Shippensburg (Pa.) University in 1982.

He and his wife Cathy have two sons - C.J. and David.

Built in 2004, Lewis Field at Clark-LeClair Stadium, which arguably rates as one of the top collegiate baseball facilities in the nation, is the home of the East Carolina baseball team. Construction began in May of 2004 and was completed in March of 2005.

The design plan for the facility, which was built on the old site of Harrington Field, increased the seating capacity to 3,000 (permanent seating) and can hold upwards of 2,000 additional spectators in the elevated berm area known as the “Williams Jungle”.

With an estimated price tag of $12 million, Clark-LeClair Stadium, which was named after Pirate alumnus and key contributor Bill Clark and former Pirate skipper keith LeClair, nearly doubled Harrington Field’s capacity of approximately 1,750 (excluding outfield areas). Field area was named after E.R. Lewis Construction.

The playing surface consists of Celebration Bermuda turf while the infield is a clay base and the warning track will be composed of crushed brick. New lights were also included in the construction of the stadium, which will meet NCAA and all television specifications.

Among the features are indoor and outdoor batting cages, a VIP booth, picnic areas, coaches’ offices and a video scoreboard (which was installed in February 2004). Player amenities include a spacious clubhouse and locker room, onsite equipment and training rooms and video system to study player mechanics.

Other amenities include chair back seating, modern concession stands and ample rest room facilities.

To accommodate the writers and broadcasters covering the nationally-ranked Pirates, a state-of-the-art press box features a main writing level and two overflow areas that can seat 30 media members comfortably, a TV broadcast location, two radio booths, a Pirate Club (fundraising/hospitality) suite and a viewing suite for the LeClair family. In addition to housing the video operations that streams all of ECU’s

home games live online, it is also the stadium operations control center for all of the marketing promotions efforts.

Recent additions to Clark-LeClair Stadium include a new batter’s eye, outfield fence with black padded walls and protective netting down the first, and third base bleachers in 2007 to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the playing area. In the winter of 2009 field turf was installed behind the plate with the words “Pirates” inscribed.

On April 22, 2009 the Pirates set the state record for largest crowd to witness a college baseball game on campus when they played host to No. 1 North Carolina. ECU cruised to a 4-0 win over its in-state rival behind a brilliant pitching performance from kevin Brandt, who allowed five hits in 8 1/3 innings and struck out 10 batters.

Pirates Attendance Numbers Among Nation’s BestFor the 17th consecutive season, East Carolina ranked among the NCAA

leaders in total home attendance in 2016 ushering 81,895 fans through the ticket lines ranking 26th in the country. The Pirates averaged 2,730 fans per contest a year ago, which ranked 24th in the nation - its 12th consecutive season ranked in the Top 35.

Since 2001, East Carolina has been the North Carolina state leader in attendence and has welcomed over one million fans in the last decade.

LSU, who has led the NCAA in attendance 17 of the last 18 years, and Ole Miss ranked first and second with respective averages of 10,580 and 8,619. Rouding out the top five were Mississippi State (8,404), Arkansas (8,052) and South Carolina (7,163).

WHEN KEITH LECLAIR became the 13th head baseball coach at East Carolina in July of 1997, he brought with him passion, determination and the ultimate goal – to make it to Omaha, site of the NCAA College World Series, and win a national championship.

LeClair became the s e c o n d - w i n n i n g e s t baseball coach in school history in just five sea-sons at East Caroli-

na, compiling a 212-96-1 (.688) record. He also led the Pirates to four-straight NCAA Regional appearances, three Colonial Athletic Association championships and one Conference USA title.

His 2001 club advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals and finished with a No. 11 national ranking after registering a 47-13 mark. LeClair’s final squad, which was ranked in the Top 25 polls for much of the season, swept through the C-USA Tournament and won a pair of games at the Clemson Regional. He won the American Baseball Coaches Association’s East Region Coach-of-the-Year award in both 1999 and 2001.

In addition, LeClair played an integral role in fundraising efforts and eventual construction of a new, state-of-the-art baseball stadium on the ECU campus. His dreams were realized in the spring of 2005 when 3,000-seat Clark-LeClair Stadium opened March 4 and the Pirates capped off the ceremony by defeating Michigan 2-1.

LeClair arrived at East Carolina in the summer of 1997 after six seasons at the helm of his alma mater, Western Carolina University. At WCU, he compiled a 229-135-2 (.628) record while winning four Southern Conference championships and advancing to NCAA Regional play on four occasions.

As a player at Western Carolina under head coach Jack Leggett, LeClair was an All-Southern Conference selection in 1988 while earning SoCon Tournament MVP honors the same season. The former walk-on also es-tablished Catamount records for hits and total bases in a season.

LeClair signed with the Atlanta Braves after completing his collegiate career and spent the summer of 1988 as an outfielder for Idaho Falls in the Pioneer League. After a spring training stint with the San Fran-cisco Giants in 1989, he was offered a student assistant coaching posi-tion at Western Carolina which led to full-time responsibilities short-ly thereafter.

He was inducted into both the East Carolina University and Western Carolina University Athletics Hall of Fame in the fall of 2002 and was honored as the first recipient of the Conference USA Student-Athlete Ad-visory Committee’s (SAAC) Coaches Choice Award. In addition, the Con-ference USA Baseball Coach-of-the-Year Award was named in honor of LeClair.

LeClair’s number 23, which he wore as a player and coach, became an honorary jersey at East Carolina in 2003 and was awarded annually to the player who best embodies the qualities that made LeClair a great player and coach until 2014. Cliff Godwin, who was tabbed as the Pirates’ 16th head coach in June of 2014 and a four-year letterwinner under Le-Clair, currently wear’s his skipper’s No. 23. Western Carolina officially re-tired his No. 23 jersey on April 11, 2006.

During his collegiate baseball career as a player, assistant coach and head coach at Western Carolina University and East Carolina, LeClair was a part of 13 NCAA Tournament teams and earned five conference coach-of-the-year awards.

LeClair passed away at the age of 40 on July 17, 2006 after a five-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He officially relinquished his coaching duties June 19, 2002, two weeks after leading the Pirates to their fourth con-secutive NCAA Regional appearance before finishing with a 43-20-1 re-cord. LeClair remained with the ECU Department of Athletics as a special assistant to the director of athletics until the time of his death. He is sur-vived by his wife, Lynn, and two children, Audrey and J.D.

(East Carolina, ’00)Cliff Godwin, who has been a part of nine NCAA

Regional and two College World Series appearances coaching at the Division I level, enters his third year as head baseball coach at East Carolina University.

A four-year letterman for the Pirates, God-win was appointed as ECU’s 16th skipper in the

school’s history on June 25, 2014 after completing a three-year stay at the University of Mississippi.

During his two years at the helm of the program, Godwin has guided ECU to a pair of NCAA Regional berths, a Super Regional appearance, an American Athletic Conference Tournament title and a 78-44-1 (.638) over-all record. Three players have earned All-America honors, six were named to all-regional teams (five in Charlottesville), six took home all-conference honors (five first-teamers), seven were selected as AAC Player-of-the-Week, while three were drafted by Major League Baseball teams.

Off the field, his teams have excelled in the classroom by registering a 3.05 or higher in four of five semesters, including a program-best 3.42 in the fall of 2015. Forty-nine (49) student-athletes have been named to the ECU Director of Athletics Honor Roll, while 30 Pirates earned inclu-sion on The American All-Academic Team maintaining a minimum 3.00 GPA. In the 2016, his club received the American Baseball Coaches As-sociation (ABCA) and The American Team Academic Excellence Awards after registering a collective 3.31 GPA for the 2015-16 academic year.

In the community, the Pirates have volunteered nearly 2,000 hours working with programs in the Pitt County area as the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, Team IMPACT, Riley’s Army, Cypress Glenn Re-tirement Community Flood Relief, Red Cross, First Born Community Devel-opment Center and the James, ACES for Autism, Make-A-Wish Foundation and the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital.

On July 29, 2016 Godwin signed a three-year contract extension secur-ing his position through the 2022 season.

Godwin made an immediate impact in 2015 leading the Pirates to a 40-22 record, which included a second-place regular season finish (15-9) in The American. The 2015 American Coach-of-the-Year became the first skipper in program history to win 40 games in his initial season, guided ECU to a conference tournament title in its first year in the league and directed a return to NCAA post-season play – its first since 2012 – as the No. 2 seed in the Coral Gables Regional.

The Snow Hill, N.C. native followed with another NCAA Regional berth (No. 3 seed in Charlottesville) and a Super Regional appearance (Lubbock, Texas) in 2016. ECU, who posted a 38-23-1 record and finished second in The American (15-8-1), rolled through regional play picking up wins against No. 20 Bryant (9-1), No. 10 Virginia (8-6) and William & Mary (8-4) en route to claiming the Charlottesville crown – its fourth regional title. The Pirates continued their magical run, defeating No. 5 national seed Texas Tech, 8-6, in the opener of the Super Regional and came 90 feet away from making their first appearance in the Men’s College World Series.

Ole Miss (2011-14)Godwin served as Ole Miss’ assistant coach and helped lead recruiting

efforts that resulted in the Rebels advancing to 2014 College World Series, their first appearance since 1972. During his three-year tenure in Oxford, Godwin was an integral part of NCAA Regional teams all three seasons

and spearheaded recruiting efforts that garnered four Top 22 recruiting classes, including a No. 5 ranking in 2013 by Perfect Game, and had nine Major League Draft selections - three of which went in the first five rounds.

En route to a share of third place at the 2014 CWS, Godwin’s Rebel hitters ranked first in the Southeastern Conference in batting average (.303) and second in both home runs (42) and runs scored (396) on its way to the league’s West Division crown.

A former catcher for the Pirates from 1998 to 2001, Godwin mentored 2013 Johnny Bench Award Winner and first-team All-America selection Stuart Turner, who batted .374 and threw out 52 percent of base run-ners on steal attempts.

He continued to develop some of the top hitters in recent pro-gram history in 2014 as senior Will Allen and junior Auston Bousfield earned All-America accolades, while J.B. Woodman garnered Freshman All-America status. Allen, the Rebels leading hitter (.341) and top RBI man with 64, was a finalist for the ’14 Johnny Bench Award.

UCF (2009-11)Prior to joining the Rebels, Godwin spent three seasons as the asso-

ciate head coach at the University of Central Florida, where he directed the knights’ offense and also served as recruiting coordinator.

In his three years at UCF, Godwin helped put the Golden knights on the map with the nation’s fourth-ranked recruiting class in 2010 before following with a Top 20 class in 2011. He also helped lead the knights back to NCAA Regional action in 2011 for the first time since 2004. Paced by First-Team All-Conference USA sluggers Jonathan Griffin and D.J. Hicks, UCF led the league in home runs, slugging percentage, hits, runs, RBI and doubles. In addition, his development of Beau Taylor, who bat-ted .325 with five home runs and 47 RBI, earned him inclusion on the 2011 Johnny Bench Award Watch List.

In 2010, SEBaseball.com named Godwin C-USA Assistant Coach-of-the-Year as he played an integral role in the knights’ school-record and C-USA-record .343 batting average. The squad also posted 78 home runs and a .538 slugging percentage, both school standards.

LSU (2006-08)Before to his stint at UCF, Godwin’s offense at LSU hit .306 in 2008 with

100 homers and 95 stolen bases. The squad recorded at least 10 runs in a game 20 times and sported a .509 slugging percentage. Towards the end of the season, including NCAA Tournament play, LSU posted a 23-game winning streak en route to a trip to Omaha.

A year earlier, Godwin helped build the top-ranked recruiting class in the nation in 2007 for LSU according to Collegiate Baseball - a class which featured nine signees selected in that season’s MLB Draft.

Notre Dame (2005-06)While in South Bend, the Fighting Irish posted a .313 batting average

under Godwin’s tutelage and claimed the Big East Tournament title to go along with a berth in the NCAA Lexington Regional. He coached Craig Cooper to All-America and Big East Player-of-the-Year honors on the way to becoming a seventh-round draft pick.

Vanderbilt (2004-05)Godwin moved to Vanderbilt where he served

as the Commodores’ Director of Baseball Oper-ations for two seasons before joining the Notre Dame staff as an assistant coach under then head coach Paul Manieri in 2005.

UNC Wilmington (2003-04)Godwin made immediate contributions in the

dugout and in the batting cage, helping lead UNC Wilmington to the program’s first CAA champion-ship and an appearance in the 2004 NCAA Region-al Championship.

East Carolina As A Player (1998-2001)A five-year member of the baseball program

at East Carolina, Godwin redshirted as a fresh-man before serving as a top catcher for the Pirates over the next four seasons. The three-year team co-captain started 126 games as a sophomore, ju-nior and senior, earning All-East Region honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association in his final season after batting .322 with 15 home runs and 45 RBI. The left-handed swinging God-win also was a First-Team All-Colonial Athletic As-sociation selection in 2001 after also delivering 14 doubles and drawing 23 walks in 57 games.

In addition to his on-the-field accomplish-ments, Godwin excelled in the classroom at ECU as a two-time Academic All-America selection - one of four Pirates to ever earn the distinguished honor. After being named to third-team status in 1999, he followed up with second-team accolades as a senior in 2001.

Godwin graduated magna cum laude from East Carolina in 2000 with a bachelor of science degree in management information systems, and after receiving the Pat Draughon Postgraduate Scholarship, went on to earn his MBA from ECU in 2002.

He helped former ECU skipper keith LeClair’s teams win nearly 100 games more than they lost during his four seasons (169-76), including 46-plus wins in each of his final three years (46-16 in ’99, 46-18 in ’00 and 47-13 in ’01). His career totals with the Pirates included 24 home runs, 31 doubles and 95 RBI.

East Carolina won a pair CAA Tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Regionals every season from 1999 to 2001. The Pirates were the top seed in their regional all three years, including a No. 6 national seed in 2001 where they advanced to the Super Regional round before being eliminated by Tennessee. Godwin was named to the all-tournament team at the 2001 NCAA regional, hosted by ECU in Wilson.

After finishing his collegiate career, Godwin spent two seasons play-ing professionally with the Gateway Grizzlies in the Frontier League be-fore getting back into the coaching ranks as an assistant coach at kin-ston High School in 2003.

In all, Godwin has worked with 57 players who have gone on to the professional ranks during his time as a coach at the Division I level.

Godwin is the son of kathy Dail and Lewis Godwin of Snow Hill.

Jeff PalumboAssistant Coach/Recruiting CoordinatorGeorge Mason, ’04

Jeff Palumbo, an 11-year coaching veteran at the Division I level, will open his third year as an assis-tant coach and recruiting coordinator at East Caro-lina University – a position he began on July 1, 2014.

Following coaching stints at George Mason, UCF and Virginia Com-monwealth, Palumbo oversees all aspects of the Pirates’ recruiting ef-forts, serves as the base running and infield coach, while assisting God-win with the hitters.

Palumbo has directed ECU’s recruiting efforts that garnered a pair of Top-25 national rankings (D1Baseball/18 and Baseball America/23) for its 2015-16 class, while also being tabbed as one of the nation’s top 30 re-cruiters by his peers.

During the 2016 season, Palumbo helped the Pirates lead The American in five offensive categories (average/.289, hits/603, hit by pitch/79, on-base percentage/.375 and sac bunts/47) while standing in the top-3 in 10 others. Infielders Charlie Yorgen (14/second) and Turner Brown (10/fourth) stood among the league leaders in sac bunts, while Eric Tyler capped off his junior season batting .306 – good enough for ninth in the league.

Tyler and Yorgen were two of five Pirates named to the 2016 All-Char-lottesville Regional Team after batting .545 and .600 respectively.

In his first year with the Pirates, Palumbo guided the squad to a No. 14 national ranking in double plays turned (59) marking the most by an ECU team since posting 62 twin-killings in 2007. He was also instrumen-tal in helping the club rank second nationally in bunt singles (36), first in the American Athletic Conference in fielding percentage (.971) and sec-ond in the league in sac bunts (51).

Hunter Allen stood third in the league with a .339 average and was the toughest hitter to strikeout fanning once for every 13.9 plate appear-ances. Yorgen ranked 11th in the country (first in AAC) with 16 sac bunts, while the infield combination of Allen to Yorgen to Bryce Harman turned a combined 37 of 59 double plays. Harman set the single-season school record with 570 putouts and Yorgen registered 178 assists to stand ninth on the single-season charts.

In all, the 2015 AAC Tournament champions ranked among the top-3 in the league in seven offensive categories including sac bunts, batting average (.280/third) and hits (574/third).

Prior to coming to ECU, Palumbo had mentored three ABCA/Rawlings All-East Region and six all-conference selections with the Rams, while helping the program rank among the NCAA leaders in seven key statis-tical categories.

Virginia Commonwealth (2012-14)In 2014, Palumbo’s club saw a dramatic increase in its offensive

numbers from the year before where they stood among the Atlantic 10 (top-3) and NCAA (top-50) leaders in scoring (6.3 rpg/29th), runs (357/33rd), average (.292/36th), hits (589/38th) and on-base percent-age (.373/47th). Five players earned All Atlantic-10 honors and were led offensively by a quartet of second-team performers in Chris Ayers, Bill Cullen, Joey Cujas and Vimael Machin.

As the infield instructor at VCU, Palumbo’s clubs ranked either first or second in the conference in fielding percentage, which included a No. 7 national standing in 2013 (.980). Over the course of three seasons, the Rams boasted an impressive .975 fielding clip.

UCF (2009-11)In 2011, Palumbo helped guide UCF to a 39-23 record - its best since

2005 - and its first trip to the NCAA Tournament in seven years with a No. 2 seed in the Tallahassee Regional. The knights also posted their best Conference USA finish (fourth) since joining the league in 2006.

Regarded as one of the top fielding coaches in the country, Palumbo’s 2011 UCF squad shattered the school’s single-season record with a .978 fielding percentage, committing only 53 errors in 62 games, and rank-ing ninth nationally. Behind strong defense, including a stretch of eight-straight games without recording an error, the knights posted two wins each over Florida, Stetson and Rice, in addition to victories against Flor-ida State and Alabama.

Palumbo has been outstanding on the recruiting trail during his time as an assistant coach. Under the direction of first-year skipper Terry Rooney in 2009, Palumbo and the knights put together Collegiate Base-ball Newspaper’s fourth-ranked recruiting class and followed with the nation’s 20th-best class heading into the 2011 season. Those rankings were the highest-ever in program history.

The staff’s recruiting efforts quickly paid off as the 2010 squad won 33 games despite being the only team in the country to have five freshmen make at least 35 starts, including three infielders. That same season, Palum-bo’s infield turned a school-record 61 double plays, ranking among the na-tion’s top-10 in that category. Not only did the knights possess solid defense, but they also turned heads at the plate setting school and Conference USA

marks with a .343 batting average and .435 on-base percentage. Further, UCF set program records with 78 homers and a .538 slugging percentage.

During his time with the knights, Palumbo coached two Louisville Slugger All-Americans, a Golden Spikes Award finalist, a pair of Fresh-man All-Americans, a Conference USA Freshman-of-the-Year and two first team all-conference honorees.

George Mason (2006-08)A native of Bowie, Md., Palumbo is no stranger to the Colonial Athletic

Association having played at George Mason from 2001-04 before serv-ing as an assistant coach with the Patriots from 2006-08.

He spent three seasons as the program’s recruiting coordinator and hitting coach, and oversaw a defense that finished with a .970 field-ing percentage - second in the league - during his final season in 2008, while posting a third-place conference finish, a .311 team batting aver-age and 63 home runs.

During his time at George Mason, Palumbo helped guide four players into the professional ranks including three-time all-conference honor-ee and ABCA All-East Region selection Scott krieger, as well as Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American Justin Bour.

George Mason As A Player (2001-04)A two-time CAA Defensive Player and Scholar Athlete-of-the-Year se-

lection, Palumbo finished his career as the Patriots all-time leader in hits (283), at-bats (865), games played (218) and games started (217), while ranking among the top-10 in runs, stolen bases, total bases, RBI and walks. During his senior campaign, he led the nation in runs scored per game (1.4), hit a career-best .402 and led the Patriots to an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament - the program’s first appearance since 1993. Palumbo was selected in the 15th-round round by the San Fran-cisco Giants in the 2004 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft and was later named a Northwest League All-Star with the Salem-keiz-er Volcanoes.

Dan RoszelAssistant Coach/Pitching Coach(North Florida, ’00)

Dan Roszel, who possesses 16 years of colle-giate coaching experience, enters his seventh season on the East Carolina baseball staff as the pitching coach, a position he originally accepted

on July 8, 2010.During his six-year tenure with the Pirates, Roszel has mentored one

of the top pitching staffs in the country, which has included nine Major League Draft picks, six All-America and 14 all-conference selections, as well as helping ECU to 219 wins with four NCAA Regional appearances

(2011-12, 2015-16).Roszel’s staffs have consistently ranked among the national leaders

(top-45) in five of the last six years with regard to ERA, which includ-ed a 2.67 mark in 2011 that stood seventh. His group of hurlers sported a 3.53 earned run average that ranked 36th in the country and third in the league standings in 2016.

Lefty Evan kruczynski became the sixth Pirate under Roszel to earn All-America accolades when he was tabbed a third-teamer by D1Base-ball after posting an 8-1 record with a 2.01 ERA in 2016. He earned First-Team All-American Conference honors, while also garnering honorable mention All-America status by Perfect Game.

In all, his 2016 staff ranked among the top-3 in The American in six pitching categories and led the league with 22 pickoffs.

A year ago, Reid Love who posted a 7-4 record with four saves, earned third-team All-America honors while Joe Ingle was tabbed as a First-Team National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Freshman All-America after appearing in 32 games with a 1.14 ERA and notched eight saves -- all ECU freshman records -- highlighting Roszel’s 2015 staff.

Love, a 10th round pick by the Baltimore Orioles, tossed a pair of com-plete games, registered a 2.81 ERA and struck out 82 batters in 96.0 in-nings, while ranking among the nations top-15 in strikeout-to-walk ratio (14th/6.83) and walks per 9 innings (15th/1.13). David Lucroy was a 20th round selection by the Milwaukee Brewers after going 3-4 in 16 appear-ances with a 2.18 ERA.

His staff ranked among the American Athletic Conference lead-ers (top-4) in saves (17/t1st), walks allowed (151/first), innings pitched (548.0/second), wins (40/second), ERA (fourth), strikeouts (417/fourth) and runs allowed (251/fourth) in its inaugural season.

In 2014, third-team All-America reliever Ryan Williams along with the No. 9 overall MLB Draft Pick Jeff Hoffman, ECU’s all-time saves leader Drew Reynolds and Love were the stalwarts on a Pirate pitching staff that posted a 2.99 ERA (30th nationally), combining for 23 of 33 wins, notching 12 of 13 saves and fanning 212 batters while walking 58.

Williams earned First-Team All-Conference USA honors after going 11-3 with seven saves in 32 appearances and was selected in the 10th round by the Chicago Cubs. He recorded 76 strikeouts to just 11 walks ranking 11th nationally with a 6.91 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and sport-ed a team-best 1.81 ERA in 99.1 innings capturing the teams triple crown.

Hoffman posted a 3-3 record with a 2.94 ERA in 10 starts before being sidelined with a season injury following a career-best 16 strikeouts against Middle Tennessee (April 17), which earned him Conference USA Pitcher-of-the-Week, Louisville Slugger National Player-of-the-Week and NCBWA Pitcher-of-the-Week honors. Reynolds, who has tallied a program-best 29 career saves, took home his second-straight First-Team All C-USA honor as a utility player. A semifinalist for the John Oler-ud Two-Way Player-of-the-Year Award, he went 4-2 with a 2.16 ERA and five saves in a team second-best 20 appearances. Reynolds allowed eight runs (six earned) on 18 hits while striking out 24 and holding op-posing batters to a .202 clip.

Prior to the start of the 2013 season, Roszel was promoted to associate head coach on July 16, 2012.

Returning one starter from 2012 (Hoffman), Roszel put together a staff that ranked nationally in the Top 100 in five individual statistical catego-

ries in 2013. Reynolds, a Second-Team Louisville Slugger All-American, saved a 14 games ranking 14th nationally, while redshirt freshman David Lucroy posted a 6-2 record with a 2.49 ERA on his way to second-team all-conference and Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America accolades.

Hoffman made the jump to the top of the rotation going 6-7 on the mound with a 3.20 ERA fanning 84 batters in 109.2 innings on his way to Second-Team All C-USA honors. Reynolds took home first-team all-con-ference accolade after leading the league in saves (14) to go along with a 3-2 ledger and a 2.92 ERA in 28 appearances.

After losing five hurlers from the 2011 squad, which included two-third’s of its weekend rotation, Roszel put together another solid staff that ranked 43rd nationally in ERA (3.35) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.41) in 2012, while also ranking in the Top 50 in three other categories. Andy Smithmyer (1.92) and kevin Brandt (2.12) ranked 13th and 32nd na-tionally in ERA, while Tyler Joyner ranked 18th in the country in walks al-lowed per nine innings (1.17) and 21st in strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.67). Three of Roszel’s pitchers (Brandt, Jharel Cotton and Hoffman) helped the Pirates rank among the league leaders in 10 statistical categories. Brandt (18th/Rays) and Cotton (20th/Dodgers) were selected in the 2012 Major League First-Year Player Draft.

In his initial year with the Pirates in 2011, Roszel’s pitching staff sport-ed the seventh-lowest earned run average (2.67) in the nation, while also ranking in the top-20 in combined shutouts (8.0/t8th), shutouts (9.0/t10th) and hits allowed per nine innings (7.93/17th).

Behind a trio of All-Conference USA performers in Seth Maness, Brandt and Brad Mincey, the Pirates ranked in the top-2 in 11 pitching catego-ries and led the league (all games) in ERA, fewest runs allowed (222), opposing batting average (.239), strikeouts looking (152), fewest earned runs allowed (167) and fewest home runs allowed (15) earning Roszel C-USA Assistant Coach-of-the-Year honors by College Baseball Daily.

Individually, four of his pitchers ranked among the league leaders in ERA with Mincey (1.57/ninth nationally), Maness (1.71/17th nationally) and Brandt (2.26/54th nationally) occupying the top three spots, while starter Mike Wright finished sixth with a 2.79 ERA. Along with Wright (3rd/Orioles), Maness (11th/Cardinals) and Mincey (28th/Marlins), fellow hurlers Shawn Armstrong (18th/Indians) and Simmons (40th/Diamond-backs) were selected in the 2011 Major League First-Year Player Draft.

During his 16-year coaching career at the collegiate level, Roszel has seen 25 of his pitchers sign professional contacts with nine playing the Major Leagues, including five-time American League All-Star Chris Sale, who was selected by the Chicago White Sox with the 13th overall pick

in 2010. Roszel also mentored four-year major leaguer Casey Coleman (15th round selection by the Cubs in 2008) and former major leaguer and 2006 International League Most Valuable Player Heath Phillips (10th round pick by the White Sox out of Lake City Community College), who made his Major League debut on Sept. 5, 2007. Both Coleman (Aug. 2) and Sale (Aug. 6) made their Major League debuts in 2010.

Since 2013, Roszel has seen six of his former college hurlers make their Major League debuts in Maness (April 13, 2013), Heath Hembree (Sept. 3, 2013), Mike Wright (May 13, 2015), Shawn Armstrong (Aug. 8, 2015), Jeff Hoffman (Aug. 20, 2016) and Jharel Cotton (Sept. 7, 2016).

Richard Bleier, a sixth round pick in 2008 by the Texas Rangers out of Florida Gulf Coast, spent much of the 2015 between Double-A and Tri-ple-A in the Washington National’s organization, while Cotton did the same with the Dodgers.

College of Charleston (2008-10)Prior to coming to ECU, Roszel spent two seasons at the College of

Charleston, where he served as the pitching coach and recruiting coor-dinator. He produced some of his best work in 2010, helping the Cougars receive an at-large bid and No. 2 seed at the NCAA Tournament. The Col-lege of Charleston advanced to the Myrtle Beach Regional Champion-ship Game before falling to No. 4 national seed Coastal Carolina 11-10. The Cougars ended the season ranked 27th in the final National Colle-giate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) poll.

Roszel helped three CofC hurlers, Hembree (5th round), kevin Deck-er (39th round) and Casey Lucchese (39th round), get selected in the 2010 MLB draft. In 2010, Decker was a SoCon Sports Media Association All-Conference and SoCon All-Conference Second-Teams member while rookie Christian Powell was named to the league’s all-freshman team.

Florida Gulf Coast (2006-08)Roszel spent two seasons as an assistant at FGCU, where he helped the

Eagles to a 78-32 record and an appearance in the NCAA Division II Re-gional as well as an Atlantic Sun Conference championship. In 2007, his pitching staff ranked 21st nationally in team ERA with a 3.50 mark. The staff also stood second in Division II in strikeouts per game (9.16), fourth in strikeouts (486) and held opponent hitters to a .254 batting average, all records at FGCU.

During 2008, his staff helped the Eagles to another record-breaking season, becoming the only team in NCAA history to win a conference championship in its first year of Division I competition upon arrival from

The American Athletic Conference consists of 12 prestigious insti-tutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinna-ti, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the Universi-ty of Houston, the University of Memphis, the U.S. Naval Academy (in football only), the University of South Florida Southern Methodist Uni-versity, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, the American Ath-letic Conference has written an impressive list of accomplishments, both in the competitive arena and the classroom. In the course of its first three seasons, The American has taken its place at the forefront of in-tercollegiate athletics, with a collection of national team and individu-al championships and football and men’s and women’s basketball post-season victories that place The American among the elite Division I FBS conferences.

The league has produced four NCAA championship teams – UConn men’s basketball in 2014 and UConn women’s basketball in 2014, 2015 and 2016 – two New Year’s Six bowl champions, and two individuals who have won NCAA titles, most recently SMU’s Bryson Dechambeau, who was the 2015 national champion in men’s golf. Additionally, Amer-ican Athletic Conference teams have advanced to the College World Se-ries, reached the semifinal and final rounds of the NIT, qualified for the match play round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship and registered a top-10 finish at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship.

The American Athletic Conference was one of six finalists for the 2016 Sports Business Journal Sports League of the Year award, along with Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, NASCAR, the National Bas-ketball Association and the PGA Tour. The American was the only entity from college athletics to be so honored.

In football, three American Athletic Conference teams were in the final College Football Playoff rankings of 2015, while two teams from The American were ranked in the top 20 of the final national polls in both 2013 and 2015. Eight of The American’s 12 football teams played in bowl games to cap the 2015 season as Houston defeated Florida State in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and Navy beat Pittsburgh in the Military Bowl. Houston’s finish at No. 8 nationally gave The American a top-10 team in the final national polls for the second time in the league’s three seasons. UCF finished No. 10 in the 2013 rankings after the knights’ Fies-ta Bowl win against Baylor.

In 2014, The American had the best men’s basketball postseason re-cord of any league, when conference teams were a combined 13-4, and the league sent four teams to the 2016 NCAA Championship. Teams from The American have registered top-10 national rankings in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer, men’s golf, and men’s track and field.

Individual teams in The American have enjoyed unprecedented suc-cess since the conference’s formation. Houston went 13-1 in the 2015 football season, setting a school record for wins, while Navy won a pro-gram-record 11 games in its first season in the conference, also in 2015. The 2014 season saw Memphis finish with 10 wins in football for the first time since 1938, while Temple enjoyed its first 10-win season in 2015.

That kind of success has led to an across-the-board increase in foot-ball attendance. The American Athletic Conference had four of the top six teams in average attendance gain from 2015 to 2016, while the con-

ference as a whole realized a 9.1-percent increase at the turnstiles. Cin-cinnati, Houston and Temple all set single-game attendance records at their respective facilities

Under The American’s banner, SMU advanced to the NCAA Men’s Bas-ketball Championship for the first time since 1993. UCF and Houston have both achieved top-10 rankings in baseball in the past two years. USF fin-ished the 2014-15 season at No. 8 in the final men’s golf national rank-ing. The UConn women’s basketball team won its NCAA-record ninth, 10th and 11th national championships.

American Athletic Conference student-athletes have distinguished themselves in all facets of intercollegiate athletics. Temple lineback-er Tyler Matakevich won the Bednarik Award and the Nagurski Trophy as the nation’s top defensive player in 2015, while Navy quarterback keenan Reynolds finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting. UConn basketball standout Breanna Stewart finished her career as the most decorated player in college basketball history as she was chosen as the consensus national player of the year for the third time and became the first player be named four times as the Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four.

Reynolds and Stewart were selected as the winners of the 2016 AAU James E. Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur athletes, marking only the second time in the 86-year history of the award that multiple winners were chosen.

Additionally, SMU’s Avery Acker was chosen as the Division I women’s volleyball Academic All-America of the Year in 2015, while Navy offen-sive guard E.k. Binns was one of 12 finalists nationally for the Campbell Trophy, which is presented by the National Football Foundation to the top scholar-athlete in college football. Tulsa soccer standout katy Rio-jas was the winner of the 2016 NCAA Walter Byers Postgraduate Schol-arship, while Golden Hurricane rower Emalia Seto won the 2016 NCAA Jim Mckay Scholarship. Two student-athletes from The American earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships in the conference’s first three years.

American Athletic Conference alumni have made their mark in pro-fessional sports as well. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. More recently, a number of American Athletic Conference athletes have been selected in the first round of the professional entry drafts in football, basketball, baseball and soccer. The American has had two first-round picks in football in each of the last three seasons, while the conference produced four first-round picks, including the top three selections, in the 2016 WNBA Draft.

The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which provide the conference with outstand-ing national exposure on the two industry leaders in sports television. The football portion of the contract calls for nearly 90 percent of con-ference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable plat-forms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which was played in 2015, was televised by ABC as part of Champion-ship Saturday.

In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-con-trolled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for na-tional broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament is televised, including the championship game,

which is on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s bas-ketball games are carried on national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3, while the conference has a multi-year agreement with CBS Sports Network for coverage of select baseball games.

American Athletic Conference teams have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representa-tive would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams in the CFP selection committee’s final rank-ing. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in a New Year’s Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

Additionally, The American holds primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the current six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans.

The American Athletic Conference serves its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green International Airport – gives the con-ference easy access to its member schools. The conference headquar-ters is equipped with a complete video production studio, which serves as the home of The American Digital Network, and meeting rooms to ac-commodate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.

One Win Away From OmahaFor the first time in program history, East Carolina came one win

away from making its first appearance in the College World Series. After sweeping through the Charlottesville Regional, ECU headed to No. 5 Na-tional Seed Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. The Pirates picked up their first-ever super regional win defeating the Red Raiders in the game one 8-6 behind Travis Watkins’ grand slam and a solid pitching performance from Evan kruczynski (5.2 IP, 3 Rs, 6 ks).

In game two, ECU had a chance to break a one-all tie and win the se-ries as it had runners in scoring position four times (twice on third base) late in the contest. In the bottom of the 12th, Brady Lloyd pinch hit with the bases loaded sending what looked like the game winning hit up the middle that would have scored Parker Lamm, but the two-hopper skimmed off the pitcher’s mound and right into Michael Davis’ glove forcing Watkins out a second. The Red Raiders scored a pair of runs in the top of the 13th on Eric Gutierrez’ single forcing a game three, winner take-all, which Texas Tech won 11-0 advancing to the College World Se-ries.

Continued Success In The ClassroomSince Cliff Godwin returned to East Carolina, his teams have excelled

in the classroom by registering a 3.05 or higher grade point average in four of five semesters, including a program-best 3.42 in the fall of 2015, 3.20 in the spring of 2016 and a 3.41 in the fall of 2016. For the 2015-16 ac-ademic year, the Pirates recorded a 3.31 cumulative GPA, which ranked as the highest male team cumulative GPA at ECU during that span. God-win’s club earned The American Academic and the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Excellence Awards for the first time in program history.

Serving The CommunityThe Pirates have volunteered nearly 2,000 hours working with pro-

grams in the Pitt County area such as the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, Team IMPACT, Riley’s Army, Cypress Glenn Re-tirement Community Flood Relief, Red Cross, First Born Community De-velopment Center and the James, ACES for Autism, Make-A-Wish Foun-dation and the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital.

Kruczynski And Williams-Sutton Garner All-America Honors

Junior Evan kruczynski picked up a pair of All-America honors in 2016 (Third-Team D1Baseball and Honorable Mention Perfect Game) after posting an 8-1 record with a 2.01 ERA. He struck out a career-high 95 batters on his way to winning ECU’s pitching triple crown. In 17 starts he allowed 32 runs (26 earned) on 107 hits while issuing 27 walks earning First-Team All-American Conference accolades. In two NCAA postseason starts, he sported a 2-0 record with a 2.13 ERA allowing three runs (all earned) on six hits with 12 strikeouts in 12.2 innings. One of five Charlottesville All-

Regional selections, he became the first Pirate pitcher to register a win in Super Regional action helping ECU to an 8-6 victory over Texas Tech. The left-hander, who earned First-Team All-American Athletic Conference honors, stood among the conference leaders in innings pitched (second), wins (third) and strikeouts (t5th).

Dwanya Williams-Sutton was named to three Freshman All-America teams (Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and D1Baseball) leading The American in batting average (.360) and on-base percentage (.455), while ranking second in slugging percentage (.551). The Wilson, N.C. native became the first Pirate since  Brian Cavanaugh to lead a conference in batting average (.382) back in 2005 when ECU was a member

of Conference USA. He started 55 of 56 games, belted five home runs, laced four triples and 11 doubles (20 extra base hits), while scoring 31 runs, driving in 27 and swiping 7 of 12 bases. Williams-Sutton, who also garnered 2016 First-Team All-American Athletic Conference accolades, earned league player-of-the-week honors twice (Feb. 29 and May 23) and tallied six game-winning RBI with four coming in league play.

Two Pirates Make Major League DebutsA pair of right-handed pitchers in Jeff Hoffman (2012-14) and Jhar-

2016 Season Notebook

Sweep In Charlottesville RegionalAfter finishing second in the American Athletic Conference standings, East Carolina earned its 28th

NCAA Regional appearance after being tabbed as the No. 3 seed in the Charlottesville Regional. The Pirates opened regional play with a 9-1 win over No. 20 and second seeded Bryant using a seven-run eighth inning. The next day, ECU took on regional host and No. 10 Virginia with the winner advancing to the regional finals. Trailing 6-3 going to the bottom of the ninth, the Pirates sent six batters to the plate scoring five runs, which was highlighted by Travis Watkins’ three-run walk-off homer for an 8-6 victory. Just one win away from reaching their fourth Super Regional in program history, the Pirates completed the weekend sweep defeating William & Mary (8-4) behind two-run home runs from Eric Tyler, Watkins and Charlie Yorgen. Five Pirates earned all-regional team honors in Garrett Brooks, Evan kruczynski, Tyler, Watkins (Most Outstanding Player) and Yorgen.

season. Hoffman, a former No. 9 overall pick in 2014 by the Toronto Blue Jays, got the start on Aug. 20 with the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field facing the eventual World Series Champion Chicago Cubs. The Latham, N.Y. native faced the minimum through the first three stanzas before the Cubs broke through with a four-run fourth inning. In all he worked four frames allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits with a walk and a pair of strikeouts. Hoffman went 0-4 with a 4.88 ERA in eight out-ings (six starts) surrendering 29 runs (17 earned) with 22 strikeouts in 31.1 innings.

On Sept. 7, Cotton took the mound with the Oakland Athletics at Oak-land Coliseum notching a start against the Los Angeles Angels. The St. Thomas, V.I. native allowed one run (earned) on two hits with three strikeouts and pair of walks in 6.1 innings registering his first career win, 4-1. After retiring the first nine batters he faced, Cotton gave up a lead-off single to Andrelton Simmons to start the fourth inning – just one of four Angles to reach base on the day.  Over the next two frames, he pitched around a pair of walks before C.J Cron belted a solo home run in the seventh cutting the A’s lead to 3-1. In five starts, he posted a 2-0 re-cord with a 2.15 ERA where he allowed 10 runs (seven earned) with 23 strikeouts in 29.1 innings.

Hoffman and Cotton became the 19th and 20th players in school his-tory to see action in the Major Leagues. They were the fifth and sixth hurlers since 2013 to make their debuts joining Seth Maness (2013), Chris Heston (2014), Mike Wright (2015) and Shawn Armstrong (2015).

Kruczynski And Lamm Named Jungle Award Winners

Every year the Pirate Jungle mem-bers honor the baseball team with its Annual Williams Jungle Awards. Mem-bers of the famed Jungle present a Pitching and Offensive MVP with the re-cipient receiving a plaque as well has having their names immortalized in-side the Clark-LeClair Stadium club-house. For the 2016 season, junior Evan kruczynski was named the Pitching MVP after posting an 8-1 record with a 2.01 ERA. Senior Parker Lamm took home Offensive MVP honors after starting 57 games where he batted .287 (68-for-237) with 28 RBI, 28 runs scored while collecting 18 multi-hit and five multi-RBI games. He ranked among the team leaders (top-4) in six statistical categories including stolen bases (12/first), hits (third) and RBI (fourth). In the field, he tal-lied 94 putouts, two assists and didn’t commit an error in 96 chances.

Tyler Sets ECU And American Single-Game RecordsJunior Eric Tyler set a new ECU and American Athletic Conference sin-

gle-game record on Mar. 26 when he drove in eight runs against Jack-sonville in a 13-0 series clinching win at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. Tyler drove in all three of ECU’s runs in the first inning on a three-run shot to left field that plated Travis Watkins and Zack Mozin-go. He followed that with an RBI sac fly in the fifth that scored Charlie Yorgen giving ECU an 8-0 lead. Tyler capped the historic day hitting his first career grand slam in the five-run eighth frame that pushed across

Jeff Nelson, Watkins and Ryan Littlefield. The previous record of seven RBI in a contest had been done just twice in school history by Jim Riley (vs. Fairfield/Mar. 8, 1987) and Darryl Lawhorn (vs. New York Tech/Feb. 23, 2002).

#STRIKEOUTALS … Pirates Raise $4500Annually, for the past 13 seasons, East Carolina hosts the “keith LeClair

Classic” a tournament put together to bring awareness to ALS through the Jim “Catfish” Hunter chapter, which is located in Raleigh, N.C. The Jim “Catfish” Hunter chapter finds the tournament as a way to continue awareness and fundraising in Coach LeClair’s honor. The goal is to use the “keith LeClair Classic” as a starting point for our own fundraiser to help Strike Out ALS. In 2016, the entire team, including the coaching and support staff, participated in Mustache March in order to raise aware-ness and money for the Jim “Catfish” Hunter chapter. Mustache March created a fun and entertaining environment for Pirate fans throughout the month of March, which also helped towards ALS research. ECU raised over $4,500 with all of the money going straight the ALS Association, and more specifically the Jim “Catfish” Hunter chapter.

Keith LeClair Classic Champs Four Years StraightFor the ninth time in 13 years and fourth-straight season, the Pirates

claimed the annual keith LeClair Classic title in 2016 posting a 2-1 re-cord notching wins over Southeastern Louisiana (2-1) and Maryland (4-

3), while falling to Tennessee (5-2). For the Pirates, it marked their eighth out-right championship following wins in 2004, 2007-08, 2010 and 2013-16. ECU also picked up co-championship hon-ors in 2006 along with NC State and West Virginia.

Tommy Eason Inducted Into ECU Hall of Fame

Eason became the 34th member of the Pirate program to be induct-ed in the ECU Hall of Fame on Sept. 9, 2016. He is the fourth member from the 1999-2001 squads to be enshrined

in the hall joining Pirate skipper keith LeClair (2002), John Williamson (2012) and Chad Tracy (2015).

The Snow Hill, N.C. native was a two-time First-Team All-Colonial Ath-letic Association selection and led the Pirates to three-straight confer-ence titles and NCAA regional appearances as a player. He completed his career ranked second all-time in home runs (39), third in total bases (354) and fourth in RBI (155) and batting average (.355). After being taken by the Philadelphia Phillies in the sixth round of the 1991 Major League Baseball Draft, Eason spent four seasons in the minor leagues before returning to ECU to complete his bachelor’s degree.

A member of coach keith LeClair’s first staff as a graduate assistant in 1998, he was elevated to pitching coach in 1999 and served in that ca-pacity for seven seasons. During his tenure, ECU made six consecutive NCAA regional appearances and advanced to a pair of super regionals. Five pitchers earned All-America honors and his pitching staffs finished among the NCAA leaders in ERA three times.

EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY  108  2017 BASEBALL FACT BOOk

Charlie Johnson, a former East Carolina catcher who was a part of the 1961 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Nation-al Championship team, wrote a poem after the Pirates claimed the title that summer in Sioux City, Iowa. The last line reads, “Yes we’ll carry the memory with us, until our dying day; of when the East Carolina Pi-rates won the N.A.I.A.” Johnson and other members of the “Pirate Nine” overcame all odds in the ’61 season and it culminated with the ultimate prize, a national title.

East Carolina College entered the NAIA Baseball Championships with an impressive 18-3 record. However, the “Bucs,” as they were often called by sports writers and broadcasters, ran into some challenges when planning for Sioux City. The college was faced with the difficulties of raising money for the trip, so the 13 players who made the trek to the Midwest had to leave four teammates behind in Greenville.

In present day, it would be unheard of for a college team to fight for a crown, especially a national one, with a limited roster. However, that was the bleak reality of the times in 1961 and a microcosm that helps demonstrate the metamorphosis that has taken place in collegiate ath-letics. Before the campaign opened, nobody predicted the Pirates would make any significant noise in the post-season, but defying expectations was what the team did best.

Earl Boykin, a member of the 1961 team and resident of Wilson, N.C., explained some of the difficulties that ECC faced as a program.

“A lot of the other teams, especially in Sioux City, had four or five scholarships and we only had two,” Boykin smiled as he remembered the dog days of ’61. “When we got out there and saw all the other teams, they had more players, were more organized and had nice-looking uni-forms. To be honest, we never thought we could win it until we did.”

The Diamond Bucs made the trip with only nine regular position play-ers and four pitchers. Boykin was one of the pitchers. But he had thrown just two innings all season leading up to the tournament. As if the deck was not stacked high enough against the Pirates, shortstop Glenn Bass was injured early in the tournament, forcing head coach Jim Mallory to play pitcher Lacy West in left field.

Undermanned, injured and playing with a mix-and-match lineup, ECC went on a run that would shock the country and leave an indelible mark on the annals of East Carolina baseball history.

East Carolina opened its tournament run with an 8-4 victory over Wi-nona (Minn.) State. They then faced who they thought to be the tough-est team in the bracket - Sam Houston State from Huntsville, Texas. SHSU had a very successful baseball program and had advanced to the NAIA World Series a year before it squared off against the make-shift group from the tiny town of Greenville. Coming off a dominant 10-0 win over Defiance (Ohio) in the first-round, Sam Houston ran into a hot West. He handled the powerful Sam Houston lineup effectively and was the beneficiary of a Cotton Clayton sixth-inning grand slam as ECC went on to defeat the Bearkats 7-4.

After day two, the Bucs and Grambling were the only two teams left without a loss.

The third-round contest pitted the two undefeated squads against one another and what followed arguably ranks as the greatest pitch-ing performance in East Carolina post-season history. Larry “Pump-sie” Crayton, a sharp lefty who was the winner of the Winona State game, came back to the mound and delivered once again - striking out 19 Grambling batters to set a NAIA record still intact today. According to the NAIA website, one other 19 strikeout performance has been record-ed since then, but it was in a 12-inning contest, so two separate records have been distinguished. With “Pumpsie” mowing through the Gram-bling hitters and some timely hitting from the Pirates, ECC advanced with a 9-4 victory.

East Carolina was two games away from winning the champion-ship, but as impressive as they had been in the opening rounds, it still seemed an outside shot for them to win it all.

The task became even more daunting in the next game. The Bucs were matched up against Omaha (Neb.) University and its

make-or-break their team’s season and Mallory was faced one regard-ing who he would start on the mound for ECC.

The Pirate skipper wanted to save West and Nathan Greene, a tough right-handed hurler, for the championship round on Saturday. He chose to start Boykin, who, again, had only recorded six outs during the en-tire spring.

“Country,” as Boykin was called by his teammates, responded with an-other pitching performance seldom been matched throughout the years of Pirate baseball. He out-dueled Miller with a 15-strikeout performance in which he used a devastating curveball to keep the Omaha hitters off-bal-ance for nine innings. After giving up three runs in the second frame, Boy-kin retired the next 19 batters he faced until finally giving up a single in the eighth. In all, he pitched nine innings, scattered five hits, three runs (one earned) and walked one in his first start of the season.

In an article that ran in the Sioux City newspaper following Boykin’s masterpiece, there was a story that after the junior from Wilson gave up the early runs partly due to ECC errors, Mallory stormed in the dugout and reassured his ballclub.

“Now don’t you boys get tight out there,” said Mallory trying to calm his team down. “Just be loose and `Country’ will do all the rest.”

Infielder Floyd Wicker led the Pirate charge in roughing up Omaha’s ace with a solo home run and two-run triple. The 11-3 rout sent the Pi-rates into the title round.

Sacramento State had defeated Grambling earlier in the day in an elimination game, which meant ECC would take on the California school to decide the champion. Because the Pirate Nine was undefeated and the Hornets had one loss, Sacramento would have to beat ECC twice to claim the trophy.

On a lighter note, Boykin shared that one of the perks of the win-ning streak to start the tournament was getting to drive into town in a courtesy car. Members of the teams which had substantially better fi-nances than ECC had the chance to cruise around Sioux City, but as they were eliminated, gave the Pirate players the cars to enjoy for the last few days.

Mallory’s decision to throw Boykin proved genius, as he now had West and Green rested, and also had the option to use Crayton in a relief role. However, the post-game celebration was put on hold by Sacramento State, who pounded the Pirates 14-5 in the first game.

One would very rarely see a pitcher stay in the game today after giving up eight runs in the second inning and four more in the fourth and Boykin vividly recalled Mallory coming out for a conference at the mound with his starter West.

“He went out there and told Lacy he didn’t care if they (Sacramento) scored 100 runs, you’re not coming out of this game,” Boykin chuckled while re-telling Mallory’s quip.

Facing certain defeat, there was no reason for Mallory to waste any more arms before the deciding game later that night. The Pirates ac-tually requested the game be called because the outcome had all but been decided, but Sacramento wanted to continue in hopes that ECC would go deep into an already paper-thin bullpen and become tired for the second tilt. Eventually, the game was completed and nine innings were standing between the Pirates and Hornets before one would be awarded the hardware.

As it had done all year, East Carolina was not fazed by the nine-run defeat in its first chance against Sacramento. In the second contest, the

Pirates jumped out to an early lead they would never relinquish in a 13-7 victory. Behind Greene’s brilliant two-hit, eight-inning performance and a barrage of Pirate hits, the triumph gave them their first and only na-tional championship in the history of the program. Six unearned runs by the Hornets in the final frame made the score more respectable, but the result was never in doubt.

The Pirates had won it all. Yes, the same squad that had only 12 players by the end of the tour-

nament and the same team that played pitchers in the outfield because it had no other options.

East Carolina may have been the last team picked to win the 1961 NAIA Baseball Championship, but as it is often said in explaining unexpected results, “that’s why they play the games.”

Post-Tournament HonorsCrayton was awarded the Tournament MVP. He recorded two wins

during the World Series, highlighted by the masterful 19-strikeout vic-tory over Grambling. He played every other game in the outfield except for the final game in which he came on to close for Green.

Six Pirates were included on the all-tournament team: Crayton (pitch-er), Clayton (outfield) and Wicker (third base) earned first-team desig-nation, while Johnson (catcher), Bass (shortstop) and Jim Martin (in-fielder) all received honorable mention awards.

Additional 1961 Team NotesFrom the 1961 roster, four players have since been enshrined into the

East Carolina University Hall of Fame: Glenn Bass, Lawrence “Cotton” Clay-ton, Larry “Pumpsie” Crayton and Lacy West. Bass, who also starred on the gridiron during his tenure in Greenville, went on to play profession-al football with the San Diego Chargers, Buffalo Bills and Houston Oilers. Clayton, a multiple-sport standout who was also an All-America perform-er on the hardwood, went on to play in the Baltimore Orioles organiza-tion for seven years. Crayton decided to forego his senior season and sign with the St. Louis Cardinals, but his single-game strikeout record led him to MVP and All-America honors where his name resides in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. West was also an All-Ameri-ca athlete, gaining the distinction in both baseball and basketball. During his four years on the diamond, his teams collected a 57-21 overall record.

Head coach Jim Mallory and assistant Earl Smith are also members of the ECU Hall of Fame. Mallory served as the baseball coach from 1954-62 and owns the school’s all-time highest winning percentage with a 161-60 (.729) overall record. Smith enjoyed an illustrious career as a player and coach at East Carolina for over 40 years, playing football, basketball and baseball for the Pirates and serving as head basketball coach in ad-dition to his baseball duties. He eventually took over the top diamond position and led ECU to four consecutive Southern Conference Champi-onships from 1966 to 1970.

Floyd Wicker was the only member of the ’61 squad to make it to the Major Leagues. He made his debut on June 23, 1968 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals before spending time with the expansion Montreal Expos in 1969 and finishing his career with the Milwaukee Brewers and San Francisco Giants.

East Carolina advanced to the NAIA National Championships again in 1963, where it earned a third-place finish. In the tournament, the Pirates own an all-time record of 5-3.

In the rich and storied tradition of East Carolina baseball, there was never a season that compares to the magical experience of 2001.

Under the direction of fourth-year head coach keith LeClair, the ECU pro-gram was resurrected into national contender caliber status and became one of the nation’s top programs.

LeClair guided the Pirates to arguably the greatest season in East Caroli-na history as the Pirates earned their first-ever NCAA Tournament national seed, a top 10 ranking, an NCAA Regional title, and a school record-tying 47 victories, before finishing just two games shy of making the school’s first appearance in the College World Series.

ECU’s success came behind one of the most balanced teams in the coun-try as the Pirates were one of just three teams to rank among the top 25 in batting and pitching in the final NCAA statistics. The team finished 22nd nationally with .324 batting average and 15th with a 3.62 team earned run average.

Nine players earned first or second team All-Colonial Athletic Association honors as the Pirates rolled to a CAA-record 19 league victories against just two losses. ECU had six players named first team all-conference - Sam Nar-ron (LHP), Joseph Hastings (1B), Bryant Ward (2B), Chad Tracy (3B), John Williamson (OF) and Cliff Godwin (DH), while Clayton McCullough (C), Lee Delfino (SS), and Will Brinson (RHP) were named second-team. Hastings and Brinson were also selected third-team All-America.

After beginning the season ranked No. 23, ECU climbed a high as eighth in the Baseball America Top-25 rankings. The Pirates posted a 17-3 mark to bolt into the top 10 for the first time in school history and finished the season ranked 11th by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. ECU also garnered its highest final RPI ranking, completing the season at No. 4.

Various attendance records were established during the season as Pi-rate baseball became the talk of the community. Over 35,000 fans passed through the turnstiles at Harrington Field to establish a new season atten-dance mark, while also setting a new standard in per game attendance with over 1,100 fans. A new single-game attendance record was also set when the Pirates hosted N.C. State in the final home game of the sea-son. More than 3,700 fans packed the stadium to watch ECU defeat the Wolfpack, 9-3.

Quickly Out Of The GatesThe season opener against Western Carolina proved to be an omen of

the offensive output that the Pirates would display throughout the year as they blasted seven home runs on opening day. Clayton McCullough quiet-ly began the home run barrage with a solo home run in the third inning before ECU hit four home runs in the fourth and another two in the eighth. Ward led the onslaught with a pair of round-trippers. The power surge continued through each of the fist 14 games of the year as ECU hit as least one home run in each game.

The Pirates went on to open the season with 13 consecutive victories at Harrington before falling to Delaware, an eventual NCAA Regional partici-pant, in 10 innings. The winning streak was nearly halted at 12 until Delfino hit a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth in the series opener against the Blue Hens. The streak was the fourth longest in school history and second-best to start a season.

As the calendar turned to March, the Pirates’ fortunes turned as well as ECU lost starting left fielder Ryan Jones to a broken thumb in the series

opener against Ball State. Following a three-game sweep of the Redbirds, the Pirates headed to the Sunshine State for a five-game trip through Flor-ida, including a three-game series at seventh-ranked Miami. ECU began its spring break trip with a 9-6 victory over Illinois State, but fell to Florida At-lantic the following day, 9-8.

The series opener against Miami will be remembered as a great come-back that ran out of outs. Trailing 12-2 in the top of the eighth inning, ECU scored five run in the frame to pull within five. The Hurricanes answered with a two-run home run in the bottom half of the inning to push their lead back to seven, before the ninth-inning dramatics began. With two outs and a runner on second base, Hastings hit a two-run home run to start a ninth-inning, six-run, two-out rally. The Pirates sent 11 men to the plate in the inning and had the tying run on second base and the go-ahead run at the plate when its rally came to an end.

Encouraged by its late-inning rally, ECU bounced back to blow past the Hurricanes, 7-2, in the second game of their series. The Pirates pounded out 14 hits, including six extra-base hits and held Miami scoreless over the final eight innings of play. Williamson and Tracy each hit towering home runs during the contest. Game three saw the Pirates suffer the same fate as game one. ECU put together a late rally, but this time its self-imposed curfew rule halted the game after eight complete innings.

Following a win over nationally-ranked Wake Forest at home, ECU opened its final season of competition in the CAA at James Madison. The Pirates hit 11 home runs during the three-game series to earn their first of five CAA series sweeps. ECU opened league play with seven consecutive victories before falling at Virginia Commonwealth in game two of the series. From that point on it won 12-straight CAA games before the regular season concluded on a sour note, a 1-0 loss to UNC Wilmington.

Rolling Into SpringWith the season in full swing as the month of April dawned, the Pirate

baseball team was just starting to hit its stride. The month began with a April Fool’s Day victory over William & Mary, followed by consecutive wins over Elon, Coastal Carolina and VCU. Five wins in the next eight games, in-cluding an 18-6 win over Richmond, set the tone for a season-ending run at perfection.

After disappointing loss at North Carolina, the Pirates returned to con-ference play at Old Dominion. ECU put on a hitting clinic in the series, out-scoring the Monarchs 37-8 during their three-game series. Duke beckoned next on the schedule and, playing at home for the first time in a week, ECU showed no mercy on the Blue Devils, whipping Duke 16-3 in front of a re-gional television audience.

After nine consecutive victories, ECU headed to Wilmington to face in-state rival UNC Wilmington in its final CAA series. Looking to leave in style, the Pirates blanked the Seahawks in each of the first two games, 11-0 and 3-0. The third game of the series was a classic pitcher’s duel. The Seahawks pulled off the seemingly impossible as they shutout an ECU team that had scored less than three runs in a game just once the entire season.

On To The RegionalsUnable to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals via the CAA Tour-

nament, ECU patiently waited for the pairings to be announced. Upon the announcement of the 64-team field, ECU was awarded the No. 7 overall

seed and named the host institution for the NCAA Regional at Wilson, N.C. The Pirates cruised past UMBC in the opening round, 7-0, behind a four-hit pitching performance from Jason Mandryk. Tracy and Hastings each hom-ered in the victory.

Following a six-hour rain delay, the top-seeded Pirates rallied from a 6-3 seventh inning deficit to defeat South Florida, 12-8, and advance to the championship game against Winthrop. ECU scored four times in the sev-enth to take a one-run lead before adding a run in the eighth and four in the ninth to ensure the victory.

The championship game provided little drama as Narron tossed a com-plete-game five hitter. Trailing 1-0 in the top half of the fifth, the regional’s Most Outstanding Player Chad Tracy capped off a three-run frame hitting a two-run home run to give the Pirates a lead they would never relinquish and a date in the Super Regional against Tennessee.

After thunderstorms postponed game one of the Super Regional until Saturday, Tennessee quickly took advantage of its extra day of rest and jumped out to a 9-2 lead. ECU scored a combined seven runs in the sev-enth and eighth innings to take a 10-9 lead heading in to the ninth. The Volunteers rallied for four runs in the ninth and took game one 13-10. Game two once again provided a similar result as each team came from behind to take the lead, however it was a UT grand slam in the eighth that ended ECU’s glorious season and Omaha dreams.

A Program FirstECU earned its first-ever NCAA Tournament national seed (No. 7), a Top-

ECU Hosts Regional At Clark-LeClair StadiumFor the first time in facility history, East Carolina’s Clark-LeClair Stadi-

um served as one of 16 regional sites for the opening round of The Road To Omaha when the Pirates garnered their fifth No. 1 seed at the Green-ville Regional in 2009. With the top seed, the Pirates made their 24th NCAA appearance, 10th in the last 11 seasons and third straight under Head Coach Billy Godwin.

Regular Season C-USA ChampionsThe Pirates claimed their second Conference USA regular season

crown in 2009 after posting a 17-7 record in league play, finishing one game ahead of perennial baseball power Rice (16-8). Heading into the final weekend of conference action, the Pirates trailed the Owls by one game with a three-game home series against Memphis on the hori-zon. After taking the first two games from Memphis and Rice splitting a pair with UAB, the Pirates and Owls were tied in the standings with one game remaining.

ECU completed the series sweep of Memphis on senior Brandon Hen-derson’s walk-off three-run shot to right field giving the Pirates a 13-2 victory in seven innings. Meanwhile, Rice looked to be on its way to a share of the league title taking a 9-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth in-ning, but the hometown Blazers roared back scoring 14 runs in the next four frames, including a seven-run seventh, walking away with a 15-12 win and giving the Pirates their first regular season title since 2004.

NCAA Greenville Regional ChampionsIn arguably the most exciting game ever inside Clark-LeClair Stadium,

Devin Harris lifted the Pirates to a 10-9 victory in 10 innings over South Carolina in the NCAA Greenville Regional Championship game on June 1. The win sent the Pirates to Chapel Hill for their third NCAA Super Re-gional in school history, where they dropped both games to North Car-olina 10-1 and 9-3.

Trailing 6-0 in the fifth frame, ECU pushed across a pair of runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings, while South Carolina added two runs in the eighth putting the score at 8-6 and setting up a dramatic come from

behind win for the Pirates. In the ninth, Brandon Henderson and Dustin Harrington drew back-to-back walks before Harris lifted a 0-1 count to left field knotting the game at nine.

With one away in the bottom of the 10th, kyle Roller doubled to the wall in center before Harrington flew out to right. After the Gamecocks brought in reliever Sam Dyson, Harris sat on a 3-1 count and knocked a single to center that was just deep enough to score Roller and give the Pirates the win. Five Pirates took home Regional All-Tournament hon-ors with sophomore Trent White claiming Most Outstanding Player hon-ors. Joining Whitehead were kevin Brandt (LHP), Henderson (INF), Roll-er (DH) and Ryan Wood (INF).

Pirate Trio Earns All-America HonorsRyan Wood joined Cory Scott (2000), Greg Bunn (2004) and Seth Ma-

ness (2008) as the only players in school history to be named to five All-America squads during a single season. The senior second baseman, who led the team with a .379 average, garnered honors from Ping!Base-ball (first-team), NCBWA (second-team), Collegiate Baseball (third-team), Baseball America (third-team) and ABCA/Rawlings (third-team).

Roller, who set career-highs in average (.336), games played (66), runs (63), hits (86), doubles (12), home runs (16), RBIs (75), walks (32) and hit by pitches (24), earned

first-team All-America honors from ABCA/Rawlings and Ping!Base-ball.

kevin Brant became the 10th Pirate to earn freshman All-America honors after his selections by Collegiate Baseball and Ping!Baseball. The lefthander made 28 appearances in 2009, logging six starts, and posted a 9-2 record. Brandt finished his rookie campaign with a 3.64 ERA and 72 strikeouts, while walking just 24 batters in 81.2 innings pitched. On April 27 he was named Conference USA Pitcher-of-the-Week after lead-ing ECU to a shutout victory over then - No. 1 North Carolina.

ECU Ranked For 19-Straight WeeksThe 2009 Pirates tied a school-record by spending 19 consecutive

sociation (NCBWA). After start-ing the season 5-1, the Pirates quickly moved into the nation-al spotlight garnering national rankings in six weekly polls.

After closing out the 2009 season with a 46-20 overall re-cord, which included its third Super Regional appearance since 2001, ECU garnered Top 20 rankings in six final polls. The Pirates finished No. 15 by ESPN/USA Today and Rivals.com, while being tabbed No. 16 by Collegiate Baseball and NCBWA, and No. 17 from Baseball Amer-ica and Ping!Baseball. It marks the 13th time in school history the Pirates were ranked in the final polls.

Godwin Named Keith LeClair Coach-of-the-Year

In his fourth season as the Pirate skipper, Billy Godwin guided the Pi-rates to their third consecutive NCAA Regional appearance and its first Super Regional since 2004 when they claimed the Greenville Regional title inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. Godwin became just the second ECU coach to record three straight 40 plus win seasons (keith LeClair, 1999-2002) after posting a league-best 46-20 mark that lead to the 2009 Conference USA regular season crown.

His 2009 squad was one of the most prolific offenses in the nation, finishing with a NCAA-best 814 hits and ranking among the national leaders in runs (4th/565), doubles (6th/154), home runs (7th/108), slug-ging percentage (12th/.546) and batting average (15th/.339), while also leading C-USA (all games) with a .415 on-base percentage, 523 RBI and 1,310 total bases and a .971 fielding percentage. For the third consecutive season the Pirates ranked first in home runs belting a school-record 108 to follow-up their 89 homers in 2008 and 68 in 2007.

Eight Pirates Earn All-Conference HonorsThe Pirates landed the most All-Conference selections with seven, in-

cluding a league-best five first teamers in Stephen Batts (OF), Chris Hes-ton (RHP), Seth Maness (RHP), kyle Roller (DH) and Ryan Wood (INF). Brad Mincey (RHP) and Trent Whitehead (OF) were named second-team, while kevin Brandt (LHP) took home All-Freshman Team accolades. Hes-ton became the second Pirate to be named Newcomer-of-the-Year fol-lowing Justin Bristow’s selection in 2008.

Henderson Awarded Honorary No. 23 JerseySenior first basemen Brandon Henderson became the seventh recip-

ient of the honorary No. 23 jersey, which was the number worn by the late ECU head coach keith LeClair throughout his coaching and play-ing career.

Henderson started all 54 games played batting .330 with a career-best 13 home runs and 57 RBI, while collecting 70 hits and scoring 34 runs.

Pirates Receive Academic HonorsMike Anderson, Shawn Armstrong, Jared Avchen, Brett Bowers, Ethan

Brown, Jacob Davis, Dustin Harrington, Brandon Henderson, Chris Hes-ton, Austin Homan, Seth Maness, James McGhee, kyle Roller, Drew Schieber and Zach Wright were all named to the Conference USA Com-missioner’s Honor Roll after maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or bet-ter during the 2008-09 academic year.

Devin Harris was taken first when the Baltimore Orioles chose him with the 236th overall pick in the eighth round. Ryan Wood was drafted by the kansas City Royals as a pitcher in the 11th round (pick No. 332) just before Chris Heston heard his name called in the 12th round by the San Francisco Giants (pick No. 357). Stephen Batts was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies with the 587th overall pick as a first baseman in round 19, while kyle Roller was chosen by the Oakland Athletics in the 47th round (pick No. 1413) on the final day of the amateur draft.

al Player-of-the-Week honors from NCBWA back on Mar. 24 after he led the Pirates to a perfect 5-0 week where ECU outscored its opponents 90 to 17. Roller batted .591 (13-for-22) on the week with four home runs, 15 RBI, two walks, one strikeout and was plunked five times, while hit-ting safely in all five contests and posting four multi-hit and multi-RBI games.
