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
Liberty outfielder Ryan Cordell hit two home runs, as the Flames were defeated by the
No. 2-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks, 9-6, Tuesday afternoon at Carolina Stadium.
Cordell becomes the third Liberty player to hit two home runs in a contest this season.
As the first two hits of his collegiate career, the outfielder hit round trippers in the fourth
and eight innings.
Liberty totaled 10 hits in the contest. Center fielder Ian Parmley and right fielder
Robertson each had three hits for the Flames. South Carolina had 10 hits in the game.
The non-conference contest marked the return of Liberty head coach Jim Toman to
South Carolina. Before taking over the reins of the Flames program in 2008, Toman spent
11 years on Gamecocks head coach Ray Tanner’s staff.
On Deck
Liberty will host the UNC Asheville Bulldogs in a three-game Big South series at
Worthington Stadium, May 5 & 7. The series will open with a single game on May 5 at 7

Friday night will be the sixth meeting between the Flames and the Dolphins on the

Pleading the Fifth
The fifth inning has become a pivotal inning for the Flames this season. Liberty is 20-7
when leading or tied with an opponent through five innings this season. Meanwhile, the
Flames are 2-12 when trailing after the fifth inning.
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 82 bases in 101 attempts this season, compared to 2010, when the Flames swiped
37 bases in 55 tries through 41 games. Liberty has already passed last year’s season total
of 57 stolen bases in 80 attempts in 61 games. The Flames’ 82 stolen bases leads the Big
South Conference in the category. The Flames were ranked 10th in the nation in the latest
NCAA Division I statistical report for games played through April 24.
Leading the way for the Flames is center fielder Ian Parmley with 19 stolen bases.
Catcher Casey Rasmus is 17-for-18 in steal attempts this season despite playing in just
31 games. Parmley is third in the Big South Conference in the category, while Rasmus is
tied for fourth.
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. At this point last season, outfielder Curran Redal led the team with
10 stolen bases. No other Flames had more than seven thefts. This season, shortstop
Matt Williams and outfielder Michael Robertson join the previously mentioned Rasmus
and Parmley, with double-digit stolen base totals. Willams has 13 stolen bases, while
Robertson has 10 thefts.

Two-HRs Games Abound Over 10-Day Stretch
Three Flames have hit two home runs in a game over the last eight contests, a stretch
of 10 days. 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 in 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 solo home run. In
the come-from-behind victory at VMI, the Flames hit five home runs, the most in a contest
this season.
Outfielder Ryan Cordell became the third player with a multi-home run game this past
Tuesday 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 round trippers, including a two-run, walk-off home run in the last game of the
season at Worthington Stadium in a 7-6 victory over VCU on May 18, 2010.
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.
He finished the week with a .762 on-base percentage and a .947 slugging percentage.
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 2:32, compared to 2:52
at this point in 2010, an 20-minute difference.
Last season through 40 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 the win.

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 Tuesday’s contest with a .372 batting average, second only to
shortstop Matt Williams among the Flames. He ranks seventh in the Big South Conference. He leads Liberty and is fifth in the conference 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, last Saturday. The streak
is tied for the longest by a Flame this season with catcher Casey Rasmus.
Williams Moves Up on Career 2Bs List
Shortstop Matt Williams continues to climb the school’s Top 10 career doubles list.
With 13 doubles on the year, Williams now has 47 two-base hits in his career, moving
into eighth place on the all-time list. The shortstop is one double shy of tying Liberty
standout Keith Butler (2000-02) for seventh on the list.
Williams enters the weekend tied for seventh in the Big South Conference in twobase hits. Teammate Doug Bream leads the Flames with 14 doubles and is tied for sixth
in the conference in the category.
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.
Evans Pitches Way into Record Book
With 51 strikeouts on the year, senior left-hander Steven Evans has moved into
fourth place on Liberty’s all-time strikeout list with 236. He enters the weekend five
strikeouts short of matching former Liberty left-hander David Bechtold (2002-05), who
had 241, for third place on the career list. Mike Brown (1994-97) is Liberty’s career
strikeout leader with 287. Evans is currently seventh in the Big South in 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
all-time 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 alltime wins list.
In addition, the senior has moved into the Liberty career innings pitched list’s Top 10
with 284 1/3 innings. Evans begins the weekend in fifth place on the program’s all-time
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
career record with a 3.67 ERA. The left-hander has walked 93 batters for a 2.53 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 14-5 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
The Flames will play two games this weekend on Sunday. Liberty has found the day
to their liking this season, posting a 7-1 in games played on Sunday. 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, 51-24, and have a
.304 batting average compared to a .235 for their opponents.
Led by starter Steven Evans, who is 3-0 on Sunday this season, Liberty pitchers have
posted a 2066 ERA in their eight Sunday games.
All three Liberty starting outfielders Ian Parmley, Michael Robertson and Doug Bream,
have also made the most of Sunday play. Parmley has a .391 batting average, with nine
hits in 23 at bats. Robertson has hit .379 with nine RBIs and seven runs scored. The junior
has hit both of his home runs this season on Sunday.
Bream has posted a .400 batting average on Sunday, with seven RBIs and six runs batted in.
Meanwhile, shortstop Matt Williams, who leads the Flames with a .385 batting average, has hit .400 on the first day of the week. The shortstop has collected 14 hits, including four doubles. Williams has five RBIs and scored four runs in his eight 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 41% (14-of-34) of would-be base stealers.
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.

Shortstop Matt Williams drove in five runs with four hits, including one a home run, as
the Liberty Flames cranked out a season-high for runs in a 16-7 victory over the Winthrop
Eagles in the final game of a three-game Big South series, this March 26 at Worthington
Stadium. The win allowed the Flames to take the three-game series, two games to one,
and start the season 5-1 in the Big South.
In the contest, the Flames scored a season-high 16 runs, eclipsing their previous high
in a 12-2 win over Binghamton on March 4. In addition, Liberty tied their season-high for
hits in a contest with 20. Every member of the Liberty batting order had at least one hit in
the contest.
Outfielder Michael Robertson and first baseman Jeff Jefferson each had three hits
in the contest. Jefferson also scored twice and drove in three runs. Austin Taylor hit a
three-run home run and drove in four runs for the Flames.
Steven Evans was the beneficiary of the Liberty scoring outburst, evening his record
at 3-3 on the year. The senior allowed one run on two hits over 6 1/3 innings.
The day before, the Flames opened the series with a 5-2 win over the Eagles in
game one of a doubleheader. Right-hander Keegan Linza held the Eagles in check to
record his fourth complete game of his career and run his season mark to 5-0. The senior
allowed two runs on nine hits, striking out five and walking two batters. It was the third
consecutive start that Linza , against Rutgers, Charleston Southern and Winthrop.
Robertson went 2-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored for the Flames. Outfielder Doug Bream added two hits and two RBIs in the game.
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 righthander 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.
