With a 41-19 record last season, Toman’s Flames have now posted the school’s top two single-season win totals in program history. The 2010 Flames set the school record for wins with a 43-18 campaign. The Flames have notched a 187-108-1 overall record during his five seasons on Liberty Mountain and have also posted an 82-43 Big South mark over the span. Along with their second 40-plus win season in 2012, the Flames set school records for team ERA (3.04) and shutouts (11). Toman saw seven players from his Flames squad selected during the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft, the most players chosen in a single draft in the 39-year history of the program. The number ties the 2007 and 2010 Coastal Carolina squads for the Big South Conference record for players picked in a single draft. The impressive strides made by the program have not gone unnoticed. In December, Rivals.com selected Toman as one of 10 Collegiate Head Coaches on the Rise, while in November of 2010, Rivals cited Liberty as one of college baseball’s top 10 rising programs. Toman was named the sixth head coach in the history of the Liberty Baseball program in June 2007, after 11 seasons as the senior member of Ray Tanner’s coaching staff at South Carolina. Toman worked a total of 18 years alongside Tanner, dating back to the 1990 season at N.C. State. During his time at South Carolina, Toman served as recruiting coordinator and coached the catchers. Known as one of the top recruiters in college baseball, the 22-year college coaching veteran was named the 2002 Baseball America/ American Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year. Before joining the Gamecock staff in 1996, Toman served under Tanner for seven years at N.C. State. A native of Monroeville, Pa., Toman and his wife Ashley live in Forest, Va. They have three children - Caroline (15), Charlie Mac (12), and Tucker (9). Penn State, Feb. 23-24 Tracking Liberty • The Flames recorded a 3-2 win over No. 5 South Carolina on Sunday.
