The Games
After going unbeaten in four home games this past weekend, the Liberty Flames

three-game Big South series at Worthington Stadium, Thursday and Saturday. The series
will open Thursday night, with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, the Bulldogs and
Flames will meet in a doubleheader, starting at 1 p.m. The doubleheader will also serve
as Jeff Taylor Memorial Scholarship Day.
Jeff Taylor Memorial Scholarship Day
Saturday afternoon’s doubleheader has been designated as the Jeffrey Owen Taylor
Memorial Scholarship day. The recipient of the scholarship honoring the late Liberty professor will be announced.
Jeff Taylor was a former Liberty University professor and avid baseball fan, who tragically passed away in April 2010. The scholarship fund benefits Liberty University students
who are enrolled in the Athletic Training Education Program. This year’s recipient will be
annnounced in a short ceremony between games.
The late Liberty University Athletic Training professor began working at Liberty in
2000, as the head athletic trainer in the Liberty athletics department. In 2003, he became
the Clinical Coordinator for all Athletic Training students. Taylor was also an athletic trainer
at UNC Asheville for eight years. One of the teams he worked with during his time at
Asheville was the Bulldog baseball program.
On Deck
Liberty will travel to Boiling Springs, N.C., for a three-game series against the Garnder-Webb Bulldogs, May 13-15 at John Henry Moss Stadium. The series will be the final
regular-season road series for the Flames.

All Times Eastern Standard Time
After leading his team to a school-record 42 victories in 2010, Jim Toman enters his fourth year
at Liberty with the best mark of any Flames head coach over his first three years.
Since taking over the program for the 2008 season, Liberty has won 35 or more games twice
and last season posted only the second 40-win campaign in the 37-year history of the program. The
Flames notched a 110-66-1 record during his first three seasons on Liberty Mountain.
On May 2, 2010, Toman recorded his 100th career victory, as the Flames defeated GardnerWebb, 10-7, at Worthington Stadium. The sixth coach in program history, Toman became the fastest Liberty baseball head coach to amass the milestone, passing first coach Al Worthington, by
reaching his 100th win in 160 games, six fewer than Worthington.
The impressive strides made by the program have not gone unnoticed. This past November,
Rivals.com cited Liberty as one being one of college baseball’s top 10 rising programs.
Last season, the Flames had their best season under Toman, posting a school record for wins
in a single season with a 42-19 record. The team’s ledger was boosted by a 21-8 road mark, the
nation’s 10th-best road record in 2010.
In addition, Liberty recorded a 19-7 mark in Big South play, eclipsing its record of the previous
season for most victories by the school since joining the conference in 1992. The Flames finished
second in the league’s regular season and were conference runner-up at the Big South Baseball
Championship.
Pitcher Shawn Teufel became the fourth player from one of Toman’s Liberty squads to be taken
in the MLB Draft. The two-time Big South all-conference first team pitcher and National Pitcher of
the Year Watch list member capped a strong senior campaign by being selected by the Detroit
Tigers.
In 2009, Liberty recorded a 33-21 overall record, while posting a 17-9 mark in Big South Conference play. Liberty set a new fielding standard in 2009, committing the fewest errors, 53, and
finishing the year with the highest fielding percentage, .974, in team history. From that infield, third
baseman Tyler Bream was named a Freshman All-American by the Collegiate Baseball News.
Pitcher Andrew Wilson became the third player during Toman’s time at Liberty to be taken in
the MLB draft (Atlanta Braves).
In 2008, the Flames fashioned a 13-3-1 record in the month of May to finish Toman’s first season at Liberty with a 35-26-1 mark. The record made Toman the winningest first-year coach in the
program’s history. He guided the Flames to their third straight Big South Championship title game
appearance, claiming the conference’s runner-up position in 2008. Liberty’s May record was the
best ever by a Flames team.
In addition, the Liberty pitching staff set a new season strikeout record, fanning 508 opposing batters during the year. The Flames’ strikeout total led the Big South Conference and their 8.2
strikeouts per nine innings ranked 22nd nationally at season’s end. Two pitchers from the staff,
Ryan Page and David Stokes, went on to be drafted and play in the professional ranks. Page was
taken in the 20th round of the MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, while Stokes was picked in the
28th round by the Detroit Tigers.
Liberty finished its season with a 14-7 record in conference play. The mark allowed the Flames
to claim the No. 2 seed for the Big South Championship, their highest seed for the Big South Baseball Championship since a No. 1 seed in 2000. Liberty would go on to post four consecutive doubledigit victories during six games in the Big South Championship to set a championship record with
55 runs scored.
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.
Toman has recruited 15 top 25 classes, including all 11 of his seasons at South Carolina. During his final years with the Gamecocks, he recruited many of the players who were members of the
2010 South Carolina National Championship team. From 2003-2006, three of the four Gamecock
recruiting classes were ranked first in the nation by Collegiate Baseball.
During his time on the staff in Columbia, S.C., Toman and the Gamecocks made nine NCAA
Regional appearances, including eight straight between 2000 and 2007, and three consecutive
trips to the College World Series (2002-04). Add in his seven seasons at N.C. State, and Toman
has helped lead 14 teams to NCAA Regional appearances.
Toman was a four-year letterwinner at N.C. State from 1981-84, and served as team captain of
the Wolfpack his junior and senior seasons.

Last Time Out
Right-hander Keegan Linza capped a 4-0 weekend with a complete game, leading
the Flames to a 5-1 win over the Le Moyne Dolphins, Sunday at Worthington Stadium.
Linza recorded his fourth complete game of the season, running his mark to 7-3 on
the year in the victory. The senior right-hander gave up an unearned run on six hits. He
struck out seven and walked two batters. Linza allowed only one hit during the last five
innings.
Liberty totaled eight hits in the game. Designated hitter Justin Richardson led the
Flames with two hits.
The Coaches
Liberty Head Coach Jim Toman is in his fourth year at the helm of the Flames. During
his time at Liberty, he has guided the Flames to a 136-84-1 record. He led the Flames to
the best mark of any Liberty head coach over his first three seasons on Liberty Mountain.
Last season, the Flames had their best year under Toman, posting a school record
for wins in a single season with a 42-19 record. The team’s ledger was boosted by a 21-8
road mark, the nation’s 10th best road record in 2010.
In addition, Liberty recorded a 19-7 mark in Big South play, eclipsing its record of the
previous season for most victories by the school since joining the conference in 1992. The
Flames finished second in the league’s regular season and were conference runner-up at
the Big South Baseball Championship.
UNC Asheville Head Coach Tom Smith is in his second season heading up the Bulldog
program. He had previously served on the UNC Asheville coaching staff for two years,
serving as a volunteer assistant in 2008 and as an assistant in 2009.
In his first season, he led Asheville to a seventh-place finish in the Big South with a
10-17 conference mark and a 17-35 overall record.
Before coming to UNC Asheville, Smith was considered one of the top high school
coaches in the nation at T.C. Roberson HS in Asheville. He coached the Rams program
for 28 years and led the school to three 3-A state titles in 1983, 2000 and 2002. The Rams
won 14 conference titles during his tenure.
Smith had 20 players drafted by major league teams during his time at Roberson. The
list includes pitcher Darren Holmes, who went to pitch 17 years in the major leagues, current left-hander pitcher Chris Narveson of the Milwaukee Brewers and outfielder Cameron
Maybin of the Florida Marlins, who was drafted in the first round in 2005.

All-Time Series Against UNC Asheville
Thursday night will be the 60th meeting between the Bulldogs and the Flames on the
baseball diamond since 1986. Liberty leads the all-time series, 40-19. However over the
past three years, the Flames hold a slim 6-4 edge in the series.
Last season, UNC Asheville took the regular-season series between the two teams
by winning the first two games of their series in Asheville, N.C., April 26-27. The Bulldogs
took the opening game, 5-4, on April 26 and won the first game of a doubleheader, 2-1,
on April 27. Liberty captured the second game of the doubleheader, 7-3. Right-hander
Keegan Linza pitched his first complete game as a Flame in the contest. Doug Bream
had three hits for Liberty in the victory.

games to one, April 10-11, 2009.

Get Your Running Shoes On
What a difference a year makes. So far this season, Liberty has taken advantage
of its team speed, more than doubling its stolen base total from a year ago. The Flames
have stolen 95 bases in 116 attempts this season, compared to 2010, when the Flames
swiped 57 stolen bases in 80 attempts during the entire year. The Flames’ 95 stolen
bases leads the Big South Conference in the category. The Flames were ranked sixth in
the nation in the latest NCAA Division I statistical report, for games played through May 1.
Leading the way for the Flames is center fielder Ian Parmley with 22 stolen bases.
Catcher Casey Rasmus is 17-for-18 in steal attempts this season despite playing in just
33 games. Parmley is third in the Big South Conference in the category, while Rasmus is
tied for fourth.
Parmley’s 22 steals are the most by a Liberty player since 2006, when third baseman
Chad Miller had 24.
The Flames stolen base totals are definitely a stark contrast from last season. Not
only has Liberty surpassed last year’s season total, but individuallly four Flames have
double-digit steal totals. Last season, outfielder Curran Redal led the team with a season
total of 13 stolen bases. Two more Flames, shortstop Matt Williams and outfielder Kenneth Negron, had 10 thefts apiece. This season, Williams and outfielder Michael Robertson join the previously mentioned Rasmus and Parmley, with double-digit stolen base
totals. Williams and Robertson each have 13 stolen bases.

Picking Up the Pace
With new bats and new rules to speed up time between innings and govern mound
visits, the time Flames contests have been played in this season has seen a significant
drop. So far this season, Liberty games have run an average of 2:30, compared to 2:48
at this point in 2010, an 18-minute difference.
Last season through 45 games, Liberty had already played 14 games which lasted
three hours or longer, with the longest being 3:43 in a 14-13, 10 inning setback to Manhattan on March 20. This season, the Flames have had only five games go over three
hours, the longest being 3:26 in a wild, come-from-behind, 14-9 victory at High Point,
April 10. Liberty scored seven times in the ninth inning to erase a 9-7 deficit, en route to
the win.
Weekend Trio Getting It Done
Entering this weekend, Liberty pitchers John Niggli, Steven Evans and Keegan
Linza have established themselves as a trio to reckon with. The three weekend starters
for the Flames have combined to post a 15-6 record with a 2.90 ERA over 208 innings
in 30 starts, so far this season. They have also combined for six complete games, with
Linza going the the full nine innings four times this year.
Linza is among the Big South leaders in several categories. The senior right-hander
leads the conference with seven wins and 79 2/3 innings pitched. He is third with a 2.37
ERA.
Niggli and Evans also have their names on several of the Big South lists. Niggli
is sixth in opponent batting average (.227) and ninth in ERA (2.97). Evans is fourth in
strikeouts (59), tied for fifth in innings pitched (70 1/3) and ninth in opponent batting average (.240)
Two-HR Games Abound Over 10-Day Stretch
Three Flames hit two home runs in a game over a stretch of 10 days from April 1726. Before the stretch, no Liberty player had connected for more than one round tripper
in a game this season.
Designated hitter Justin Richardson became the first Flame to hit two home runs
in a game this season in a 7-1 win over Presbyterian College during the first game of a
doubleheader, April 17 at Worthington Stadium. The blasts were his first and second
round trippers of the year. Richardson belted solo home runs in the fourth and sixth innings of the contest.
Catcher Jeff Jefferson followed six days later in an 8-6 victory over VMI in game one
of a doubleheader at Gray-Minor Stadium in Lexington, Va., April 23. Jefferson lined a
solo home run in the fifth and tied the game at 6-6 in the ninth inning with another solo
home run. In the come-from-behind victory at VMI, the Flames hit five home runs, their
most in a contest this season.
Outfielder Ryan Cordell became the third player with a multi-home run game April 26
at No. 2 South Carolina. The first two hits of his collegiate career, the outfielder hit round
trippers in the fourth and eight innings.
Last season, Liberty only had one multiple-home run game. Third baseman Tyler
Bream hit two round trippers, including a two-run, walk-off home run in the last game of
the season at Worthington Stadium, a 7-6 victory over VCU on May 18, 2010.

Williams Moves Up on Career 2Bs List
Shortstop Matt Williams continues to climb the school’s Top 10 career doubles list.
With 14 doubles on the year, Williams now has 48 two-base hits in his career, tying former Liberty standout Keith Butler (2000-02) for seventh place on the all-time list.
Former Liberty outfielder Phillip Laurent (2003-06) holds the school career record for
two-base hits with 68. He also set the single-season record with 27 in 2006.
Williams’ Liberty teammate Tyler Bream has also moved into the Top 10 career doubles list this season. With 45 two-base hits, the Flames third baseman ranks 10th on the
school’s career list.
Doing the Dougie
On April 6, outfielder Doug Bream had a career-high five hits in a 16-12 setback at
Worthington Stadium. Bream surpassed his previous career-high of four hits in a 12-7 win
over James Madison at Worthington Stadium on April 21, 2010. It is the first time a Liberty
Flame has had five hits in game since outfielder Curran Redal in a 14-8 victory over High
Point in game one of a Big South Conference doubleheader at Worthington Stadium on
April 3, 2010. Bream went 5-for-5 in the contest and scored three runs.
Later in the week, the senior had two four-hit games in victories at High Point to close
the week with a .737 batting average.
The left fielder enters Thursday’s contest with a .372 batting average to lead the
Flames. He leads Liberty with 37 RBIs.
With seven multiple-hit games in his last 10, Bream has 19 multi-hit contest this season. The outfielder is tied for the team lead with shortstop Matt Williams. He also leads
the team with 11 multi-RBI games. The outfielder had a season-long 12 game hit streak
stopped in the second game of a doubleheader at VMI on April 23. The streak is tied for
the longest by a Flame this season with catcher Casey Rasmus.
Evans Pitches Way into Record Book
With eight strikeouts Friday night in Liberty’s 3-2, 12-inning victory over Le Moyne, senior left-hander Steven Evans moved into second place on Liberty’s all-time strikeout list
with 244. Only Mike Brown (1994-97), Liberty’s career strikeout leader with 287, compiled
more. Evans is currently fourth in the Big South with 59 strikeouts this season.
Evans is also tied for fourth on the program’s career wins list with 23. The senior,
who has a career record of 23-10, is tied with Kevin Napier (1983-86) for fourth on the alltime list. The left-hander needs one more win to move into second on the school’s career
victory list with Tim Harrell (1995-98) and David Harris (1979-83). Liberty standout Lee
Guetterman (1978-81) won 29 games during his career to top the Liberty all-time wins list.
In addition, the senior has moved into the Liberty career innings pitched list’s Top 10
with 292 1/3 innings. Evans begins the weekend in fifth place on the program’s all-time
list. The left-hander is 7 2/3 innings shy of tying Tim Harrell (1995-98) with 300 innings
pitched for fourth on the list. Guetterman also heads up that list with 334 2/3 innings
pitched during his time at Liberty.
A fixture of the Flames’ pitching staff over the past four years, Evans has a 23-10 record, four saves and a 3.60 ERA during his career. The left-hander has walked 94 batters
for a 2.60 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio during his career.
Scoring First = Wins
Posting the first run of a contest has been a key indicator of Liberty’s success this
season. The Flames are 18-5 when scoring first in a contest. Meanwhile, Liberty is 8-14
when its opponents plate the first run of the game.
It is What I Like About Sunday
Unfortunately, the Flames will not play a game on Sunday this week. Liberty has
found the day to their liking this season, posting a 9-1 record in games played on the day.
In its lone Sunday loss, Liberty was defeated 5-4 by Coastal Carolina on April 3.
In Sunday games, the Flames have outscored their opponents, 61-27, and have a
.302 batting average compared to a .220 for their opponents.
Led by starter Steven Evans, who is 3-0 on Sunday this season, Liberty pitchers have
posted a 2.22 ERA in 10 Sunday games.

Casey Rasmus - Base Cop
Flames catcher Casey Rasmus has been tough on base stealers this season. The
junior begins the weekend having thrown out 44% (16-of-36) of would-be base stealers.
This past weekend, Rasmus threw out both base runners attempting to swipe a base
in the two games he played. He is tied for second in the Big South in runners caught
stealing despite having his playing time curtailed to 33 games due to injury.
Doug Bream Receives National, Conference Honors
The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) named Liberty senior outfielder Doug Bream and Clemson junior shortstop Brad Miller National Co-Hitters
of the Week, April 12. The Flames outfielder was also selected to the College Baseball
Foundation’s National All-Star Line-Up, as well as being named the Southeast Regional
Player of the Week by CollegeBaseballInsider.com and the Big South Player of the Week
for games played through April 10.
During the week, Bream batted .737 (14-19) with six runs scored, eight RBIs, two
doubles, one triple and two walks in four games. The senior had four or more hits in three
of the games, including a 5-5 day in a midweek contest with James Madison on April 6.
After picking up a hit and RBI at High Point on April 8, Bream had four hits in each of
Liberty’s weekend wins over the Panthers. The outfielder went 4-for-5 and drove in four
runs in 9-0 win on April 9 and was 4-for-5 with a double and three RBIs in Liberty’s 14-9
victory on April 10.

Beakler’s Effort Highlights Wins Against UNO
This past weekend, Liberty took two games from the New Orleans Privateers at
Worthington Stadium during the Liberty Tournament. The Flames won Saturday afternoon, 3-2, and Sunday afternoon, 5-2.
Right-hander Dane Beakler’s effort was the key to Liberty’s win on Saturday. Making
his first start since May 16, 2006, Beakler recorded the first complete game of his career.
The senior right-hander allowed two runs, one earned, on seven hits over the full nine
innings. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter. After New Orleans tied the game
in the fifth inning, the right-hander did not allow a runner to reach base, retiring the last
14 batters to face him in the contest.
First baseman Austin Taylor hit his fifth home run of the year to break a 2-2 tie in the
seventh inning in the 3-2 win.
Sunday, left fielder Ryan Cordell and third baseman Zach Haley each had three
hits, leading the Liberty Flames to a 5-2 victory. Cordell had three hits in a game for the
first time as a collegian. The left fielder went 3-for-3 in the contest, scoring twice. Haley
matched his teammate by going 3-for-3 and plating two runs.
Blake Forslund recorded his first victory with four scoreless innings, while reliever
Jacob Kemmerer followed with four scoreless frames in the victory.

Flames Take Two From VMI
The Liberty Flames rallied with three runs in the ninth inning and catcher Jeff Jefferson hit two home runs, downing the VMI Keydets, 8-6, in the first game of a doubleheader, last Saturday at Gray-Minor Stadium. The win enabled the Flames to take the
first two games of a three-game Big South series with the Keydets.
Liberty hit five home runs in the contest, the most by the Flames this season. Liberty
had previously hit three round trippers in a game in a 7-1 win over Presbyterian College
in the first game of a doubleheader on April 17.
Trailing 6-5, the Flames plated three runs in the top of the ninth to take an 8-6 lead.
With one out, catcher Jeff Jefferson belted his second home run of the game and fourth
of the year to left field, tying the contest at 6-6. Second baseman Zach Haley followed
with a home run inside the left field foul pole, putting Liberty on top for the second time in
the game, 7-6. Right fielder Michael Robertson singled to right field to plate center fielder
Ian Parmley, who had reached on a double, for an 8-6 advantage.
Reliever Garrett Baker retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth to close out
the victory. It was his second victory in two days. The win was Liberty’s seventh consecutive victory in Big South play.
Locked in a pitcher’s duel on Friday night, Robertson beat out a two-out, infield single
to score the go-ahead run as the Flames defeated the VMI Keydets, 3-2, in the opening
contest of the series.
Tied at 2-2, Liberty pushed across a run to break the deadlock in the top of the eighth
inning. With two outs and runners on second and third, Robertson beat out a chopper
behind the mound for an infield single, to score a run for a 3-2 edge.
Baker held VMI in check in both the eighth and ninth innings to close out the Liberty
victory.
Liberty Sweeps PC
The Liberty Flames jumped out to a 5-1 lead through the first three innings of game
two and never looked back, defeating the Presbyterian College Blue Hose, 5-2, to complete a sweep of a doubleheader, April 17 at Worthington Stadium and the three-game
Big South series between the two teams.
In the game two of the twinbill, Liberty totaled 13 hits. Matt Williams, Doug Bream,
Austin Taylor, Justin Richardson and Jeff Jefferson had two hits apiece for the Flames.
Pitcher Keegan Linza moved to 6-2 on the year, yielding two runs, both unearned,
on seven hits over the first 5 1/3 innings. Garrett Baker earned his second save of the
season. The junior threw 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, giving up three hits and striking
out two batters.
In game one, Richardson belted a career-high two home runs and Bream added
another round tripper, powering the Flames past the Blue Hose, 7-1. It is the first time
this season, the Flames have hit three home runs in a game. In addition, Richardson
became the first Liberty player to hit more than one round tripper in a contest this season.
Bream hit his first home run of the season in the third inning, while designated hitter
Richardson hit his first home run leading off the fourth. The Liberty designated hitter hit
his second solo home run of the game in the sixth.
Liberty starter Steven Evans moved to 4-3 on the season, allowing one run on six
hits over seven innings. Jacob Kemmerer and Mark Swanson pitched scoreless innings
to close out the win.
After the visiting Presbyterian College Blue Hose took a lead in the top of the seventh, Liberty struck for three runs in the bottom of the inning, en route to a 6-5 victory, the
night before in the opening game of the series.
Liberty had nine hits in the contest. The Flames’ three, four and five hitters each had
two hits, as Williams, Doug Bream and Tyler Bream had a pair of hits apiece. Second
baseman Zack Haley also had two hits for Liberty. Doug Bream drove in three runs for
the Flames.
Dane Beakler allowed one hit over 2/3 of an inning to pick up his first win of the year
to move to 1-0. Baker pitched the final 1 1/3 innings to earn his first save of the season.

Niggli Delivers
Liberty right-hander John Niggli held High Point in check over eight innings, as the
Flames downed the Panthers, 9-0, April 9 in a Big South contest at Coy O. Willard Stadium.
Niggli was in control throughout the first eight innings of the contest, scattering three
hits. He allowed only two High Point runners to move into scoring position throughout his
time on the mound, before giving way to relief pitcher Jacob Kemmerer. The right-hander

Complete Games Highlight Sweep
Each of Liberty’s starting pitchers of its three-game Big South series pitched
a complete game, keying a sweep of the Charleston Southern Buccaneers in the
first conference series of the year, March 18-20.
After allowing a combined four runs the previous week at the Keith LeClair
Classic, Liberty starters, Keegan Linza, John Niggli and Steven Evans once again
turned the trick, holding the Buccaneers to four runs over the entire three-game
series.
Linza got things started, Friday. The senior right-hander outdueled his
Charleston Southern counterpart, going the distance in his second consecutive
outing in a 2-1 win.
Linza allowed one run on eight hits, striking out a career-high 10 to run his record
to 4-0 on the year.
Niggli followed-up with a gem of his own on Saturday afternoon. The junior
right-hander threw his first complete game in a Liberty uniform in a 5-1 victory.
Niggli gave up one run on five hits, striking out four. From the third inning on, the
junior dominated, not allowing a Charleston Southern hit until a two-out infield
single in the ninth inning. During the stretch, the Liberty right-hander allowed only
two runners to reach, on a walk in the fifth and another walk in the sixth inning.
On Sunday, Evans made it three consecutive complete games, pitching his
first of the season and the fifth of his career in a 5-2 victory over the Buccaneers.
He allowed two runs on six hits, fanning 12 to set a new career-high and walked
one.
Baker Comes Up Big at Maryland
A strong relief appearance by Garrett Baker and seven extra base hits propelled the Liberty Flames past the Maryland Terrapins, 11-4, March 15 at Smith
Stadium in College Park, Md.
Baker entered the contest with the bases loaded, no one out and one run
already in for Maryland in the first inning and quickly restored order in the contest.
The junior allowed only an unearned run, scattering three hits over eight effective innings. The left-hander struck out five and walked none, running his record
to 2-0. He retired seven consecutive batters from the second through the fourth
inning and later, finished his outing by setting down 12 Terrapins in order.
Despite trailing 3-0 after one inning, the Flames answered with four runs in
the third inning to take a lead they never relinquished. In the frame, second baseman Zack Haley and first baseman Jeff Jefferson hit solo home runs. For Haley,
it was his first of the season, while Jefferson’s round tripper was his second on
the year.
Haley led all players in the contest with three hits, including two extra base
hits. One of left fielder Doug Bream’s two hits in the game was a bases-clearing
double.
Pitchers Lead the Way at LeClair Classic
Liberty captured the 2011 Keith LeClair Classic in Greenville, N.C., March
11-13 with a 3-0 record. Keying the title run were the efforts of Flames starting
pitchers Keegan Linza, John Niggli and Steven Evans.
Linza got things started on March 11, firing the first complete game of the
season by a Liberty starting pitcher in a 5-2 victory over Rutgers. The senior
right-hander allowed two runs on seven hits, striking out five and not walking a
Scarlet Knight batter.
Linza retired the first 10 Scarlet Knight batters to face him in the contest and
did not allow a runner past second base until the seventh inning, when Rutgers
scored its first run of the contest. With the win, he runs his record to 3-0 on the
year.
The following day, right-hander John Niggli pitched seven strong innings to
pick up his second victory of the year in a 4-3 win over Monmouth. The junior
gave up two runs on six hits, striking out one and walking none over the first
seven innings, before being relieved by Garrett Baker. He followed with 1 2/3 innings of relief, allowing a run on one hit. J.J. McLeod faced one batter, getting
the final out of the contest to earn his first save of the year.
Left-hander Steven Evans capped the weekend by handcuffing the host East Carolina Pirates in a 2-0 victory, March
13. The senior left-hander held the Pirate hitters in check during his outing, scattering four hits over 7 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up his first victory of 2011. The left-hander struck out a season-high nine batters and walked three, running
his record to 1-3 on the season. He retired the last eight batters he faced, before giving way to reliever Dane Beakler with
one out. Beakler completed the shutout with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, as Liberty claimed the title.
Flames Belt 20 in Game as Bats Come Alive vs. Binghamton
In its home opener on March 4, Liberty pounded out 20 hits, a season-high in a 12-2 win over the Bearcats in the first
game of the year at Worthington Stadium. The last time the Flames had 20 or more hits in a single game since Liberty
belted 21 hits in a 16-9, 10-inning victory at Presbyterian College on April 25, 2010.
The Flames hit .396 as team during the three-game series with Binghamton and averaged 9.3 runs per game.
Leading the way during the series was catcher Casey Rasmus, who hit .545 and tied for the team-high in hits with six.
The junior ripped his first home run of the season and scored four times during the three-game series.
Third baseman Tyler Bream and shortstop Matt Williams also had six hits during the weekend series. Williams hit his
first round tripper of the year and had a double and triple among his hits.
In addition, infielders Austin Taylor and Justin Sizemore helped power the Liberty offense with big offensive weekends. Taylor hit .444 (4/9) with a double and two home runs, driving in a team-high seven runs during the series. Sizemore belted his first home run of the year and had five RBIs for the Flames.
