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 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.
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 119-75-1 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 20-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 15 top 25 classes, including all 11 of his seasons at South Carolina.
Stuart Lake is in the third year as the head coach of his alma mater, Charleston
Southern. In his first three seasons, the Buccaneers have posted a 43-83 mark under the
1994 CSU graduate.
A 14-year coaching veteran, Lake has been an assistant coach at the Citadel, Ole
Miss, College of Charleston and South Carolina, before taking over the Buccaneer program. Lake got his start in college coaching at South Carolina, serving on the same staff
with the Flames’ Jim Toman.
All-Time Series Against the Charleston Southern
Friday’s game between the Buccaneers and the Flames will be the 60th all-time
meeting between the two teams on the baseball diamond. Liberty holds a 38-21 advantage in the series, which started in 1977.
Last season, Liberty swept all three games between the two teams at CSU Ballpark
in Charleston, S.C. The Flames won the opening game behind the trio of Steven Evans,
Dane Beakler and J.J. McLeod, 7-5, before going on to sweep the series with 4-1 and
13-4 victories.
The Buccaneers and the Flames split a conference series shortened to two games
due to rain last time the two met at Worthington Stadium, March 13-15, 2009. Liberty
edged Charleston Southern, 5-4, in the opener on March 13. The Bucs defeated the
Flames, 7-4, on March 15.

Get Your Running Shoes On
What a difference a year makes. So far this season, Liberty has tried to take advantage of its team speed, doubling its stolen base total through 18 games from a year ago.
The Flames have stolen 28 bases in 35 attempts this season, compared to 2010, when
the Flames swiped only 14 bases in 22 tries through 18 games.
Leading the way for the Flames is catcher Casey Rasmus who is 6-for-6 in steal
attempts this season and center fielder Ian Parmley who is 6-9, thus far. In addition,
shortstop Matt Williams and Michael Robertson each have swiped four bases.
The Flames stolen base totals are definitely a stark contrast from last season, when
only outfielder Kenneth Negron had stolen four bases at this point in the year.
What About Williams
About the only thing to slow down Liberty shortstop Matt Williams this season has
been the flu. The shortstop has played in 17 games this season, missing Tuesday’s
game at Maryland due to illness. The hot-hitting Williams returned on Wednesday to collect two more hits, including a two-run double to notch his team-leading ninth game with
multiple hits.
The junior has hit safely in 15 out of the 17 games he has played. He has also had
two four-hit contests. He leads the Flames with a .408 batting average and entered the
week listed sixth in the Big South in the category.
Williams also entered the week second in the conference in hits. The junior also
leads the team with 14 runs, seven doubles and a slugging percentage of .606.
Last season, Williams was named to the Big South all-conference second team as a
sophomore. The shortstop hit .360 with 30 RBIs and 52 runs scored. He tied with teammate Tyler Bream and 2002 Flame shortstop Joey Monahan for second on the Liberty
single season list with 22 doubles.
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 2:27, compared to 2:49
minutes at this point in the season in 2010, a 22-minute difference.
Last season through 18 games, Liberty had already played six 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.

Are New Bats Affecting Power Numbers?
How much has the new bat affected Liberty’s power hitting in 2011? So far this season, the Flames have 45 extra base hits - 31 doubles, three triples and 11 home runs. In
addition, Liberty has a .397 slugging percentage.
In comparison at this point last season, the Flames had 25 more extra base hits or
36% more than this season. Jim Toman’s 2010 club had 70 extra base hits - 49 doubles,
three triples and 18 home runs through 18 games. Also, it had a .488 slugging percentage.
Let’s Get Reacquainted
This weekend, Liberty assistant coach Jason Murray will be coaching against several,
players he recruited as head coach at Charleston Southern. Many of the Buccaneers
seniors were freshmen during Murray’s final season at Charleston Southern.
In his second year at Liberty, Murray was the Buccaneers’ head coach from 2005-08.
He posted a 82-136 record during his tenure at Charleston Southern. Three Bucanneers
were named Freshman All-Americans while playing for Murray, including current Charleston Southern designated hitter Derek Smith.
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, Tuesday afternoon 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 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 innings 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. Center fielder
Ian Parmley, right fielder Michael Robertson and Jefferson also had two hits apiece.
Pitchers Lead the Way at LeClair Classic
Liberty captured the 2011 Keith LeClair Classic in Greenville, N.C., last weekend 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 Friday, 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.
Saturday, 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,
Sunday afternoon. 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 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.

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.
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.
The Last Time
By Liberty
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 - Catcher Nathan Thompson had four hits, including a home run, and drove in seven runs in
Liberty’s 16-9, 10-inning victory over Presbyterian College, April 25, 2010 at the PC Baseball Complex in Clinton, S.C.
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 - Steven Evans handcuffed the East Carolina Pirates over 7 1/3 innings, giving up three hits and striking out nine batters, and Dane Beakler pitched a scoreless 1 2/3 innings to close out the contest in a 2-0 Liberty win, this past Sunday at ClarkLeClair Stadium in Greenville, N.C.
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
went on to take the contest from the Flames, 17-5.
Five or More RBIs in a Game - Binghamton first baseman Dave Ciocchi drove in five runs with a two-run double and a basesclearing double at Worthington Stadium in a 9-6 loss to Liberty in game two of a doubleheader this past Saturday. The Bearcat
first baseman went 3-for-3 in the contest.
Grand Slam Home Run - Winthrop first baseman Patrick Gamblin capped a nine-run sixth inning with a grand slam in an 11-2
victory over the visiting Flames, on May 21, 2010 at Winthrop Ballpark in Rock Hill, SC. Gamblin hit his two-out home run to
straight-away center field.
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.
