The Flames posted a school record for wins with a 42-19 campaign in 2010 and have won 35 or more games in three of his four seasons at the helm of program. Liberty notched a 145-90-1 overall record during his first four seasons on Liberty Mountain. The Flames have also posted a 68-33 Big South mark over the span. His .673 conference winning percentage is the best of any head coach in program history. This past June, 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 38-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. During November of 2010, Rivals. com 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 is married to the former Ashley McLaughlin of Florence, S.C., and lives in Forest, Va. They have three children - Caroline (14), Charlie Mac (11), and Tucker (8).

The right-hander struck out a career-high 12 batters and walked two in the contest. • He sat down the side in order in five of the nine innings and finished the contest by retiring nine consecutive hitters. Flames Shatter Program Shutout Record • With three consecutive shutouts last week, Liberty has already eclipsed the program record for shutouts in a season with six blankings. • The 1978, 1981 and 2001 teams each pitched four shutouts in a year to set the previous standard. • Four of Liberty’s six shutouts in 2012 have been combined efforts, with seniors John Niggli and Patrick Eckelbarger each recording a complete-game shutout. New Consecutive Innings Scoreless Streak • This past week, Liberty did not allow a run for 39 consecutive innings to set a new program record. • The new mark surpasses the 23 consecutive scoreless innings the Flames posted to begin the year. • Fueling the streak was Liberty’s three consecutive shutouts in a win over No. 14 Virginia and two wins over Coppin State. It is the first time in program history Liberty has pitched three consecutive shutouts. • Liberty opened the season with back-to-back shutouts, Feb. 17 and 18, at the Citadel Challenge. It was the first time in the program’s 38-year history the Flames had opened a year with two shutouts. • The back-to-back shutouts were the first by the Flames since March 1996, when Liberty blanked Delaware St. twice at the North Florida Tournament by identical scores of 5-0. Big Bats • Liberty has outscored its opponents, 114-35, this season. The Flames have averaged 8.14 runs per game, so far in 2012 • Liberty ranks fifth in the nation in runs according to the latest NCAA statistical report (3/4/12) • The Flames have plated nine or more runs in seven games. • Liberty has recorded double-digit hits totals 11 times this season. • The Flames have 46 extra base hits to their opponents 13. Liberty has collected 31 doubles, eight triples and seven home runs. • Liberty has posted four or more runs in an inning five times this year, with a 10-run frame against Coppin State last Saturday being the highest total this season.

The 2012 season will be Liberty baseball’s last year at Worthington Stadium. A new baseball facility adjacent to recently expanded Williams Stadium, home of Liberty football, and Osborne Stadium, home of both Liberty soccer and track & field programs, is set to open for the 2013 home opener. The construction of the new baseball facility is the latest dramatic improvement to athletics facilities at Liberty in recent years. The stadium could eventually seat up to 2,500 spectators and will enhance a developing athletics corridor at the University. The intercollegiate baseball stadium will replace Worthington Stadium, which has been the team’s home since 1979. Liberty will close out its time at the complex this year with an eight-game homestand from April 24-May 13, highlighted by Big South Conference series against Coastal Carolina and High Point.
