No. 2 SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS
(31-8, 14-4 SEC)
Carolina Stadium - Columbia, S.C.
The Game
The Liberty Flames (22-18, 12-6 Big South) travel to Columbia, S.C., for a non-conference game with the No. 2-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks (31-8, 14-4 SEC), Tuesday
afternoon. Liberty head coach Jim Toman will be returning to Columbia for the first time
after serving 11 years at South Carolina as the senior assistant on the coach staff.
Last Time Out
The Flames split a doubleheader at VMI, Saturday. Liberty took the first game, 8-6,
before falling in the second game, 3-1, at Gray-Minor Stadium.
In the first game, the Flames rallied with three runs in the ninth inning and catcher Jeff
Jefferson hit two home runs, downing the VMI Keydets for the victory. Jefferson and second baseman Zack Haley hit one-out, back-to-back home runs in the ninth to give Liberty
the lead. 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 last Sunday in a 7-1 win over
Presbyterian College in the first game of a doubleheader.
In the second game, Liberty was held to one run on eight hits. The setback halts
the Flames’ seven-game win streak in conference play. Right fielder Michael Robertson, shortstop Matt Williams and Jeff Jefferson had two hits in the game for the Flames.
On Deck
Liberty returns home this Friday to host the Liberty Tournament at Worthington Stadium. The New Orleans Privateers and the Le Moyne Dolphins will also participate in the
weekend tournament. The tournament opens Friday at 1 p.m. with New Orleans and Le
Moyne squaring off. The Flames will host Le Moyne at 7 p.m. in the second game of the
day.
Following the Flames
Tuesday’s game may be heard LIVE on 90.9 FM “The Light” and online at LibertyFlames.com. Nick Pierce will handle play-by-play duties and former Flames pitcher Doug
Wallace will provide commentary for the games.

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.

Toman Returns to SC
Before coming to Liberty, Jim Toman spent 11 years at South Carolina on Ray Tanner’s staff at South Carolina. The Flames have not met the Gamecocks since Toman took
over the reigns of the Liberty program in 2008.

NCAA Regional appearances, including eight straight between 2000 and 2007, and three
consecutive trips to the College World Series (2002-04).
In addition, Toman was named the 2002 Baseball America/American Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year and recruited top 25 classes in each of his
seasons at South Carolina.
Toman served 18 years as a member of Ray Tanner’s staffs at both South Carolina
and N.C. State. He had 16 top 25 classes during his 18 years as an assistant. Add in his
seven seasons at N.C. State, and Toman helped lead 14 Tanner teams to NCAA Regional
appearances.

What’s the RISP?
The Flames are hitting .320 with runners in scoring position, so far this season. Outfielder Doug Bream leads the team with a .459 batting average with runners in scoring
position. Fellow outfielder Ian Parmley is next with a .436 average.
Meanwhile, second baseman Zack Haley and Parmley pace the Flames in hitting with
runners in scoring position and two outs. Both players are hitting .412 average with runners in scoring position and two outs.

The Flames stolen base totals are definitely a stark contrast from last season, when
only outfielder Curran Redal had stolen eight bases and led the team at this point in the
year. No other Flames had more than four thefts. This season, five Liberty players have
seven or more base thefts. Shortstop Matt Williams joins the previously mentioned Rasmus and Parmley, with a double-digit stolen base total of 12. Outfielder Michael Robertson has nine thefts, while fellow outfielder Doug Bream rounds out the five with seven
stolen bases.

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

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

He finished the week with a .762 on-base percentage and a .947 slugging percentage.
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 games, Bream has 19 multi-hit contest this season. 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,
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 a two doubles over the weekend against Presbyterian College, Williams now has
47 two-base hits, 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 week with 13 doubles on the year. He is tied for seventh in the
Big South Conference in two-base 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, Bream ranks 10th on the school’s career list.
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 2:31, compared to 2:53
at this point in 2010, an 22-minute difference.
Last season through 40 games, Liberty had already played 13 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 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.
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 both last Sunday afternoon’s doubleheader 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, last Friday
night 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.
He retired all four batters he faced, including inducing an inning-ending double play in the
eighth inning.

Down by two runs, the Liberty Flames erupted for seven runs in the ninth inning for a
14-9 victory over the High Point Panthers, April 10, in a Big South Conference contest at
Coy O. Willard Stadium. With the win, the Flames took the weekend series.
Trailing 9-7, Liberty pounced on High Point relief pitching, batting around in the top of
the ninth inning to take the lead. The Flames scored seven runs on seven hits and an error
to erase the host team’s edge.
Liberty had 19 hits in the game. For the second consecutive day, outfielder Doug

the Flames close, pitching 3 1/3 scoreless innings of relief.
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
struck out two batters and walked one, running his record to 4-2 on the year.
After allowing a hit to the leadoff batter in the fourth inning, he did not allow another hit until
two outs into his final inning, the eighth.
Niggli and Kemmerer combined to pitch the second shutout by the Flames pitching
staff this season.
Breams Big at VCU
Liberty third baseman Tyler Bream hit a two-run home run and drove in three runs and
left fielder Doug Bream had three RBIs in an 11-1 Flames victory over the VCU Rams,
March 29 at the Diamond in Richmond, Va.

hits in the game. Shortstop Matt Williams and designated hitter Marcus Grimaldi had two
hits each.

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 threerun home run and drove in four runs for the Flames.

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.

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.
Connections - Part I
Three Liberty Flames, catcher Casey Rasmus, third baseman Tyler Bream
and infielder Austin Taylor, each have connections to Major League Baseball
through family members.
Rasmus, a junior, is in his first season as a member of the Liberty roster. His
brother Colby is a member of the St. Louis Cardinals and enters his third season
as an outfielder with the team in 2011.
Bream, also a junior, is the son of former major leaguer Sid Bream. Sid
Bream, a Liberty standout during his collegiate days, played 12 seasons in the
majors (1983-94) with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Atlanta
Braves and Houston Astros.
Taylor, a senior, is the nephew of former major leaguer Bill Taylor. Bill Taylor
spent parts of eight seasons with the Oakland A’s, New York Mets and Tampa
Bay Rays.
Connections - Part II
Three Flames are carrying on a family tradition, as a member of their family
formerly played baseball at Liberty.
First baseman/outfielder Doug Bream’s uncle Dave was a member of the
Liberty baseball program from 1982-85.
Third baseman Tyler Bream’s father, Sid, and two uncles, Dave and Sheldon,
were members of the Flames. Sid, who went on to play in the major leagues, was
a standout for Liberty on the diamond from 1979-81. The first baseman and Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame member was named a NAIA and NABC All-American
in 1981, as the Flames reached the NAIA National Tournament.
Bream’s uncles, Dave and Sheldon, were also members of the Flames baseball team during their college days. Dave played infield for Liberty from 1982-85,
while Sheldon was an outfielder with the Flames from 1989-93. Tyler and Doug
are second cousins.
Meanwhile, pitcher Garrett Baker begins his first season at Liberty. The junior
left-hander’s brothers, Jason and Steve, played for the Flames. Jason patrolled
the outfield for the Flames from 1993-95, earning first team All-Big South honors
in 1995. Steve was also an outfielder at Liberty from 1999-02. He was named to
the Big South all-conference second team in 2002.
The Last Time
By Liberty
Back-to-Back Home Runs - Trailing 6-5 in the top of the ninth inning, catcher Jeff Jefferson and second baseman Zack Haley
connected for back-to-back home runs, propelling Liberty to a 8-6 victory over the VMI Keydets in game one of a doubleheader
this past Saturday at Gray-Minor Stadium in Lexington, Va. In the game, Liberty hit a season-high five home runs, with Jefferson
hitting two.
Five or More RBIs in a Game - Shortstop Matt Williams drove in five runs with four hits in a 16-7 Liberty win over the Winthrop
Eagles, March 26 at Worthington Stadium. Williams had a two-run single in the fifth inning, a home run leading off the sixth and
a two-run double in the seventh, as the Flames scored a season-high 16 runs.
Inside the Park Home Run - Kenneth Negron belted a liner into the right field gap which glanced off the Coastal Carolina right
fielder’s glove to cash in two runners at Charles Watson Stadium in Conway, S.C. on April 28, 2007. When the ball rolled all the
way to the wall, the Liberty second baseman came home and scored standing up for his first home run of the season, knotting
the back-and-forth contest with the No. 19 Chanticleers at 7-7. Coastal Carolina rallied in the bottom of the eighth inning to take
the contest, 9-7.
Grand Slam Home Run - Trailing 9-5 in the seventh inning, catcher Errol Hollinger drove a 1-0 pitch over the left field wall at
Masters Field in Boiling Springs, N.C., tying the visiting Flames with the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs, April 26, 2009. Liberty was
down 9-3 in the contest after six innings. The Flames later won the game in the 11th inning, 10-9, on a lead-off home run by
first baseman Trey Wimmer.
Cycle - Third baseman Chad Miller hit for the cycle in his first four at bats as the Flames downed the Longwood Lancers, 8-0,
April 18, 2006 in a non-conference contest at Worthington Stadium. Miller led off the home half of the first inning with a home
run and in the second, drove in a run with a double to the wall off the left field wall. In the fourth, the third baseman singled and
completed the cycle in the sixth inning with a triple. Miller had two RBIs and scored four runs in the contest.
No-Hitter - Dan Valentin pitched a seven-inning no-hitter against Elon on April 16, 2000, at Worthington Stadium, marking the
first no-hitter by a Flames pitcher in 20 years. Valentin walked seven batters and struck out eight in the game to give Liberty a
4-0 win. This game sparked three-consecutive shutouts for Valentin, during a span of 29-consecutive scoreless innings.
Shutout - Liberty right-hander John Niggli held High Point in check over eight innings, as the Flames downed the Panthers, 9-0,
Saturday afternoon in a Big South contest at Coy O. Willard Stadium. Jacob Kemmerer pitched a scoreless ninth inning, striking
out the final two batters of the contest to complete the shutout. It was second blanking of an opponent by the Flames in 2011.
Triple Play - Liberty has never recorded a triple play.
By an Opponent
Back-to-Back Home Runs - Mercer catcher Travis Benn and left fielder Derrick Workman led off the third inning with back-toback home runs during the second game of a doubleheader, Feb., 19, 2011 at Claude Smith Field in Macon, Ga. The Bears

Five or More RBIs in a Game - Coastal Carolina right fielder Daniel Bowman drove in six runs in a 17-1 Chanticleer victory over
Liberty, April 1 at Charles Watson Stadium in Conway, S.C. Bowman had two hits, a three-run home run and a two-run single.

Grand Slam Home Run - With two away in the eighth inning, VMI second baseman Jacob Morely lined his first home run of the
year, a grand slam, over the center field fence to give the Keydets a 6-5 lead in game one of a doubleheader this past Saturday
at Gray-Mnor Stadium in Lexington, Va. Liberty rallied with three runs in the ninth inning for an 8-6 win.
No-Hitter - UNC Asheville’s Jason Walker pitched a seven-inning no-hitter against the Flames on April 29, 2000, at Greenwood
Field in Asheville, N.C. Walker allowed two walks and struck out four, leading the Bulldogs to a 3-0 win. The game marked the
only shutout against the Flames on the season and the first no-hitter thrown against Liberty since 1992.
Shutout - North Florida pitchers Casey Medlen and Tyler Moore combined to hold Liberty to three hits, to shut out the Flames,
5-0, Feb. 25 in the opening game of a four-game series between the two teams at Harmon Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.
Medlen, the starter, allowed two hits, striking out seven and walking one in the win.
Triple Play - Leading 6-4 with a runner on first and second to open the fourth inning, Patrick Gaillard hit a line drive which High
Point second baseman Dustin Hoffman caught. Hoffman then tagged second and threw quickly to first to complete the triple
play. The Flames went on to win the Big South Championship game, 9-7, on May 25, 2006 at Charles Watson Stadium in Conway, S.C.
