The Francis Marion University baseballteam will open its 2015 season on Satur-day (Jan. 31), when the Patriots play hostto Lenoir-Rhyne University at 11 a.m., inthe opening game of the tenth-annualCarolinas Hospital Baseball Classic.

The two-day, four-team event will fea-ture three games each day on CormellField at Sparrow Stadium in FMU’s GriffinAthletic Complex. Daily general admis-sion for the tournament is $8 for adultsand $5 for students (FMU students areadmitted free with ID).

FMU’s 15th-year head coach ArtInabinet returns three position starters andtwo starting pitchers from last year’s 28-22 squad that placed ninth in the PBCregular season. The Patriots have ad-vanced to the NCAA Tournament in fourof the last six years.

“I believe if we play defense and field.960 as a team, we’ll have a chance towin a lot of games,” said Inabinet. “Ourpitching staff has a lot of velocity anddepth. The key for us is playing well de-fensively, especially at second base,shortstop and center field.”

Junior left-hander Daniel Barfield will getthe opening day start for the Patriots, andsenior righty Jordy Santak is the prob-able game-two starter. Opponents hit just.212 against Barfield in 2014, as he posteda 3-0 record and a 3.66 earned run aver-age. Santak struck out a staff-best 55batters, while registering a 5-5 record witha 4.92 ERA. The starting spot for thethird game is a toss-up between juniorright-hander and USC Sumter transferFernando Pinillos (4-2, 1.88 ERA lastyear), junior left-hander and SpartanburgMethodist College transfer JimmyLindberg (7-2, 3.11 ERA) and junior left-hander Matt Kelley (5-5, 4.78 ERA), whocomes to Florence from Southern UnionState Community College in Alabama.

“Daniel, Jordy and Fernando all throwthree pitches for strikes and are tremen-dous competitors,” Inabinet said. “Jordy’soff-speed pitches have really improved.”

Inabinet pointed to senior southpawCody Dix, who posted a 3-2 record (4.80ERA) and fanned 38 batters last sea-son, and junior right-hander JeremiahFreeman (1-0, 3.52 ERA), also a USCSumter product, as key relievers for hissquad.

Returning left fielder JD Crowe is ex-pected to bolster the heart of FrancisMarion’s batting order in 2015. Lastseason, Crowe hit .343 in nine gameswith 10 runs batted in.

Inabinet said of Crowe, “JD is a goodexample-setter. He doesn’t swing at badpitches. He has shown some pop thisfall and this spring and has the ability tohit for power. His work ethic has paid offfor him and has helped turn him into avery good hitter.” Crowe has twice beennamed a Coastal Plain League All-Starduring summer ball, in 2012 with the Flo-rence RedWolves and in 2014 with theColumbia Blowfish.

The position returnees also featuresenior right-fielder Zac Lenns (.261, 39RBIs, 9 SBs), senior catcher NicholasMcGee (.270, 12 doubles) and juniorsecond baseman Cole Morris (.260, 11SBs).

“Zac is as solid as we’ve got defen-sively,” Inabinet added. “He has goodarm strength, is a tremendousbaserunner and he really knows our sys-tem. McGee has improved in the areaof hitting the ball better to right field,making him a more effective pull hitter.We also like his throwing ability. Cole’sbase-stealing ability will be crucial to oursuccess this year.”

Newcomers who may see openingday action include junior shortstop RandyLoew (Southern Union State Community

College), junior shortstop Zach Callahan(USC Lancaster), junior outfielder ColeGriesinger (Ball State University), sopho-more outfielder Zach Paquette (The Cita-del), junior third baseman Ryan Miller(Frederick Community College), juniorinfielder Zach Warner (Toccoa Falls Col-lege), junior infielder Joe Camp (ConcordUniversity) and junior outfielder ShulerWard (College of Charleston).

Old CLIFFORD S. CORMELL FIELDNamed in honor of Florence businessman Clifford S.Cormell, Cormell Field was offically dedicated on March5, 1974. Cormell was instrumental in helping establishFrancis Marion University, and early on he served as co-chairman of the Patriots Brigade (now known as theSwamp Fox Club). When opened, The ‘Cliff was one ofonly a handful of collegiate facilities with an astroturfinfield. The astroturf was replaced by natual grass in the1990’s. The dimensions of the field are 320 to right and leftfields, 365 to the power alleys, and 400 to center field.Seating accomodates 400 spectators with standing roomfor up to 1,000.

FLORENCE, SC -Twentieth-ranked Francis Marion University plated all its runs with two outs and the Patriots held on for a5-4 win over ninth-ranked and two-time defending NCAA Division I champion South Carolina, Wednesday evening (April 11) atthe opening of the new Cormell Field at Sparrow Stadium.

Francis Marion improves to 27-13 and avenges in a way an earlier christening loss against USC (24-10). The Gamecocksrallied for a 5-3 win on March 5, 1974, at the official dedication of the Patriots' former facility, "old" Cormell Field.

Wednesday, FMU sophomore right-hander Jeffrey Stoner induced a sharp line-out to right field by USC pinch-hitter SeanSullivan for the final out with the tying run on second base to send the capacity crowd of 1,755 into a frenzy. The victory wasthe 400th at FMU for Patriot head coach Art Inabinet, now in his 12th season as head coach.

Junior first baseman Stephen Tarkenton was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs batted in, while sophomore third baseman MichaelWilson and junior right fielder Jarrod Reed both collected a pair of hits.

Junior first baseman Christian Walker led South Carolina with a 3-for-4 night that included an RBI single and a mammoth372-foot solo homer to left field.

Francis Marion broke up the scoreless contest with three runs in the bottom of the third. After South Carolina starter AdamWestmoreland (2-1) retired the first two batters of the inning, Wilson singled to left center. Senior outfielder Tyler Boydextended his hitting streak to 11 games with a bunt single to the left of the mound.

Junior second baseman Tyler Hibbs plated the first run at the new stadium with an RBI single to center field. Senior centerfielder Buddy Sosnoskie followed with a run-scoring single to left center, and he took second on the unsuccessful throw tothird. After a pitching change by USC, Hibbs scored the third run on a wild pitch by Patrick Sullivan.

Walker got one run back with his solo shot in the top of the fourth. An RBI single up the middle by catcher Dante Rosenbergdrew South Carolina to within 3-2 in the fifth. However with the tying run at second base, FMU senior southpaw MattBroderick (6-1) got the third out by covering first on a ball that eluded Tarkenton at first and was flagged down by Hibbs in thehole between first and second.

Broderick limited the Gamecocks to two runs on four hits in five frames, while striking out three and walking one. JuniorPatriot righty Don Sandifer then held the Gamecocks at bay with two scoreless and hitless innings.

FMU added a pair of two-out runs in the seventh to go up 5-2. Wilson reached on a fielder's choice grounder, stole second,and moved to third after back-to-back walks to Hibbs and Sosnoskie. Tarkenton then poked an 0-1 pitch from Evan Beal upthe middle to plate Wilson and Hibbs.

Walker's run-scoring single in the top of the eighth cut the margin to 5-3, but Stoner stranded two runners by fanning JoeyPankake. In the ninth, pinch hitter Kyle Martin got the Gamecocks to within 5-4 with an RBI groundout, but Stoner got thefinal out to earn his second save of 2012.

Francis Marion returns to Peach Belt Conferenceplay this weekend with a key series at 30th-rankedLander University, beginning with a single game onSaturday at 3 p.m.
