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.

The Flames-Chants to meet on ESPNU
The middle game of Liberty’s three-game Big South series at Coastal Carolina Saturday is scheduled to be televised on ESPNU. The contest will be the second time the
Chanticleers and the Flames have met in a game on the network. In 2009, Liberty squared
off with Coastal Carolina at Watson Stadium, on ESPNU, falling 13-7, on May 1.
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 124-77-1 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.
In 2009, Liberty posted the most victories in Big South Conference play with a 17-9
mark, since joining the conference in 1992. The Flames recorded an overall record of
33-21 in Toman’s second year.
A 24-year member of the college coaching ranks, he served 18 years as a member
of Ray Tanner’s staffs at South Carolina and N.C. State. Toman was named the 2002
Baseball America/American Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year
and recruited 16 top 25 classes, including all 11 of his seasons at South Carolina.
Coastal Carolina Head Coach Gary Gilmore is in his 16th year of guiding the Chanticleer baseball program. In his time at Coastal Carolina, he has led the Chanticleers to 10
NCAA berths, 10 40-plus win seasons in the last 12 years, 13-straight winning seasons,
and two trips to a NCAA Super Regional.
Last season, the 1980 Coastal Carolina alumnus led the Chanticleers to the Myrtle
Beach Super Regional. The Chants captured both the Big South regular-season and tournament titles, posting a record of 55-10.
In 2008, Gilmore led his team to a 50-14 record, hosting and winning the NCAA Conway Regional. The Chanticleers advanced to the NCAA Cary Super Regional, a first in the
school’s history.
In his 22 seasons as a college head coach, Gilmore’s teams have racked up a 877415 mark, including 15 40-plus win seasons. In his previous 15 years at Coastal Carolina,
Gilmore’s ball clubs have finished in the top four of the Big South Conference standings
13 times, including seven regular season titles.
Toman Reaches 100 Coaching Wins
With a 10-7 win over Gardner-Webb on May 2, 2010, Liberty head coach Jim Toman
recorded his 100th career coaching win.
Of the six head coaches in Liberty history, Toman becomes the fastest to reach 100
coaching victories. Toman reached the milestone in 160 games, eclipsing program founder and first head coach Al Worthington, who reached his 100th win in 166 games.

Get Your Running Shoes On
What a difference a year makes. So far this season, Liberty has taken advantage of
its team speed, doubling its stolen base total from a year ago. The Flames have stolen
57 bases in 68 attempts this season, compared to 2010, when the Flames swiped only
21 bases in 33 tries through 26 games. Liberty’s 57 stolen bases leads the Big South
Conference in the category. The Flames’ also entered the week ranked fifth in the nation
in the latest NCAA Division statistical rankings (through March 27).
Leading the way for the Flames is catcher Casey Rasmus who is 17-for-18 in steal
attempts this season. He is currently tied for second in the Big South Conference in
stolen bases with Coastal Carolina third baseman Scott Woodward. Radford’s Matt Hillsinger leads the conference with 18. Center fielder Ian Parmley is next on the team and
ranks fourth in the Big South with 11 thefts (11-for-15).
The Flames stolen base totals are definitely a stark contrast from last season, when
only outfielder Curran Redal had stolen six bases at this point in the year. This season,
four Liberty players have six or more base thefts. Outfielder Michael Robertson joins
the previously mentioned Rasmus and Parmley, with seven stolen bases, while fellow
outfielder Doug Bream has six stolen bases. Bream, a senior, entered the year with a
career total of two stolen bases over his previous three seasons.
Tyler Bream Moves into Career 2Bs List
With a double in the sixth inning of Liberty’s 16-7 victory over Winthrop Saturday,
Liberty junior third baseman Tyler Bream moved into the Top 10 on the school’s career
doubles list with 44.
The third baseman, who had the second-most doubles in a season with 22 in 2010,
has eight this year. He is currently tied for ninth in the Big South. Bream is tied with
former Flames Darrell Manuel (1980-83), Steve Wright (1995-98) and Joey Monahan
(2000-02) for 10th on the all-time list with 44 career doubles.
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.
In addition, shortstop Matt Williams moved to within one two-base hit joining the
school’s top 10 career list in the category with 43 on Tuesday. The junior doubled in the
third inning to reach 43 in the 11-1 win at VCU. Last season, Williams also had 22 twobase hits, tying Bream for second on the single season list.

Casey Rasmus - Base Cop
Flames catcher Casey Rasmus has been tough to on base stealers this season. The
junior begins the week having thrown out 45% (13-of-29) of would-be base stealers. Rasmus leads the Big South Conference in caught base stealers.
On the flip side, the catcher leads Liberty and ranks second in the Big South with 17
steals. Rasmus is 17-for-18 in steal attempts.
Weekend Starters Get It Done
Over the past three weekends, Liberty starters, Keegan Linza, John Niggli and Steven
Evans have keyed the Flames’ success. Liberty has posted an 8-1 record over the three
weekends, dropping only a 2-1 contest to Winthrop in the second game of a doubleheader
last Friday.
Over the nine games, the Liberty trio has allowed 12 runs over 74 1/3 innings to post
a 1.45 ERA. Linza, Niggli and Evans’ innings account for 91.7% of the innings pitched
during the span. In each of his three outings, Linza has recorded a complete game, while
Niggli and Evans have gone the full nine once each.
Leaning On Linza
Senior right-hander Keegan Linza is off to a strong start this season, becoming a reliable part of the Liberty starting rotation.
The right-hander has posted a 5-0 record with a 2.33 ERA during his six starts. He has
struck out 35 and walked five, while leading the Big South Conference with 47 2/3 innings
pitched. Linza also leads the conference in wins, while ranking fifth in ERA and seventh in
the strikeouts.
In his last five starts, the senior has not allowed more than two runs. Linza has thrown
complete games in each of his three two outings in victories over Rutgers, Charleston
Southern and Winthrop to up his career total to four.
On March 11 against Rutgers at the Keith LeClair Classic, the senior held off the
Scarlet Knights in the ninth inning for a 5-2 win. Linza gave up two runs on seven hits
over the full nine innings. He struck out five and did not walk a batter. He 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.
This next Friday, the Salisbury, N.C., native went the distance again in a 2-1 victory
over Charleston Southern, setting the table for a weekend sweep. Linza scattered eight
hits over nine innings, striking out a career-high 10 batters and walking one. The right
hander’s 10 punchouts eclipse his previous career high of eight in an 11-2 win over Kennesaw State during his first appearance in a Liberty uniform on Feb. 20, 2010.
This past Friday, Linza pitched the full nine again in a 5-2 win over Winthrop. The
senior gave up two runs, scattering nine hits in the contest. He struck out five and walked
two batters.
With a 13-0 career record, the right-hander has not lost since joining the Flames in
2010.
Evans Pitches Way into Record Book
After striking out six in a 16-7 victory over Winthrop Sunday, senior left-hander Steven
Evans has moved into fifth on Liberty’s all-time strikeout list with 225, surpassing former
Liberty standouts Lee Guetterman (1978-81), who had 220 career strikeouts, and Benji
Miller (1995-98), who had 224 strikeouts. Mike Brown (1994-97) is Liberty’s career strikeout leader with 287. Evans is currently third in the Big South with 40 strikeouts this season.
Also with the victory, Evans moves into a tie for fifth on the program’s career wins
list with 22. The senior, who has a career record of 22-10, is tied with Niles Creekmore
(1983-86), Alex Dooley (1999-02) and Michael Solbach (2005-07) on the all-time list. The
previously mentioned Guetterman won 29 games during his career to top the Liberty alltime wins list.
A fixture of the Flames pitching staff over the past four years, Evans has a 22-10
record with a 3.18 ERA. The left-hander has pitched 261 2/3 innings, striking out 225
and walking 87 batters, a 2.6 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio. With 6 2/3 innings, the senior
will move into the Liberty career innings pitch list, tying Kyle Bryan, who pitched 268 1/3
innings as a Flame from 1981-85.

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 2:29, compared to 2:47
at this point in 2010, an 18-minute difference.
Last season through 26 games, Liberty had already played seven games which
lasted three hours or longer, with the the longest being 3:43 in a 14-13, 10 inning setback to Manhattan on March 20. This season, the Flames have had only three games
go over three hours, the longest 3:11 in a 17-5 loss in game two of a twinbill at Mercer
on Feb. 19.

in 2011. Liberty has a .398 slugging percentage.
In comparison at this point last season, the Flames had 24 more extra base hits or
27% more than this season. Jim Toman’s 2010 club had 90 extra base hits at this point
of the season - 63 doubles, six triples and 21 home runs
It is What I Like About Sunday
Liberty has opened the year 4-0 in games played on Sunday. In those games, the

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 past Saturday 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

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 Zach Haley and first baseman Jeff Jefferson hit solo home runs. For Haley,
it was his first of the season, while Jefferson’s roundtripper 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 his longest outing of the year, propelling the Liberty Flames
to 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.

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 lefthander’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.
Among Nation’s Rising Programs
The Flames were one of 10 programs cited by Rivals.com, as one of College Baseball’s Rising Progams in early November.
The Liberty program was mentioned along with Auburn, Oregon, Washington State,
New Mexico, Connecticut, Pitt, Texas State, Florida International and Florida Atlantic.
MLB Draft Picks Dot Roster
A trio of players, who are on the Liberty roster for 2011, have been selected in the
Major League Baseball Draft. Senior Austin Taylor and juniors Michael Robertson and
Tony McClendon have each been selected in a Major League Draft.
Taylor, an infielder, was drafted out of Thomas County Central High School by the
Cincinnati Reds in 2007. The junior college transfer was taken in the 43rd round.
Robertson was also picked in the MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds in 2009. The
outfielder was selected in the 40th round of the draft.
McClendon, in his first year as a Flame, has been selected in two different MLB
Drafts. The outfielder was taken in 2008 by the Houston Astros in the 40th round. Last
year, McClendon was chosen by the Oakland A’s in the 47th round.
California Dreaming
Six 2011 Flames hail from the Golden State, the second highest number on the roster
next to Liberty’s home state of Virginia. Seven members of the Liberty roster are natives
of Virginia. Four Flames each hail from the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina
and Washington, while three are Pennsylvania natives. States also represented on the
Liberty roster are Alabama, Arizona, New York, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The Captains
Seniors Jeff Jefferson, Mark Swanson and Steven Evans, along with junior Tyler
Bream have been chosen as captains for the 2011 Liberty Baseball team. The four were
selected by virtue of a team vote.

Back-to-Back Home Runs - Curran Redal and Doug Bream connected for back-to-back home runs to lead off the fifth inning,
putting Liberty in front 8-4 over Presbyterian at Worthington Stadium, March 29, 2009. The home runs were two of the Flames’
three home runs in the frame, as first baseman Trey Wimmer later hit a three-run home run. The Flames went on to defeat
the Blue Hose, 14-7.
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
