June 3-6 at NCAA Regionals Home Games in Bold ^- Keith LeClair Classic - Greenville, N.C. + - Liberty Tournament - Lyncnburg, Va. * - Big South Game (DH) - Doubleheader 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. 2011 Liberty Flames Roster No. Name Pos.

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 118-74-1 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. Maryland Head Coach Erik Bakich headed into the 2011 season, his second with the Terps, having signed the first nationally-ranked recruiting class in school history in addition to overseeing a dramatic improvement in the baseball facilities at the school. In his first season, the Terrapins posted a 17-39 record. Before taking over at Maryland, Bakich spent the previous seven seasons as an assistant coach at Vanderbilt, helping to build the Commodores into a perennial Southeast Confernce (SEC) contender. He established himself as one of the best recruiters in college baseball, hauling in top-25 classes all seven years in Nashville, including the top-ranked class in 2005 and the second-ranked class in 2008. From 2008-10, 22 Commodores that Bakich recruited were selected in the major league draft, including five in the first round. The top overall pick in 2007 was David Price, a player that Bakich recruited. All-Time Series Against the Maryland Tuesday’s contest will be the 10th meeting between the Flames and Terrapins on the baseball diamond. Liberty holds a 6-3 lead in the all-time series with Maryland, which began in 1985. Last season, the Flames took an 11-1 victory over the Terps on May 7 at Worthington Stadium.
