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.
Remembering Keith LeClair
This weekend’s tournament is named in honor of Keith LeClair, who during his collegiate baseball career as a player, assistant coach and head coach at Western Carolina
and East Carolina was a part of 13 NCAA Tournament teams and earned five conference
coach-of-the-year awards.
LeClair became the second-winningest baseball coach in school history in just five
seasons at East Carolina, compiling a 212-96-1 (.688) record. He also led the Pirates to
four straight NCAA Regional appearances, three Colonial Athletic Association championships and one Conference USA title. His 2001 club advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals and finished with a No. 11 national ranking after registering a 47-13 mark.
He officially relinquished his coaching duties June 19, 2002, two weeks after leading
the Pirates to their fourth consecutive NCAA Regional appearance before finishing with a
43-20-1 record. LeClair remained with the ECU Department of Athletics as a special assistant to the director of athletics until the time of his death on July of 2006.
He is a member of both the East Carolina and Western Carolina Athletic Hall of Fames. LeClair was honored as the first recipient of the Conference USA Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee’s (SAAC) Coaches Choice Award. In addition, the Conference USA
Baseball Coach-of-the-Year Award was named in honor of LeClair.

All-Time Series Against the LeClair Field
The Flames will be playing each team in the Keith LeClair Classic field for the first time
under fourth-year head coach Jim Toman, this weekend.
Rutgers and Liberty will meet for the fifth time, Friday afternoon. The two teams have
split the previous four games in the all-time series.
Friday’s meeting will be the first contests between the two teams since 2006, when
the Scarlet Knights visited Lynchburg for a three-game series, March 17-19. The Scarlet
Knights took the first and last game of the three-game series, 7-2 and 7-6. The Flames
won the middle contest, 5-3 .
Saturday. Liberty will be squaring off with Monmouth for the fourth time. After a threegame weekend series, March 31-April 1, 2007 at Worthington Stadium, the Hawks hold a
2-1 edge over the Flames. That weekend, Monmouth swept a doubleheader from Liberty
on March 31, while the Flames took the series finale on April 1, 11-6.
East Carolina and Liberty will face each other for the seventh time on diamond in
Sunday’s finale game of the Keith LeClair Classic. The Pirates hold a 5-1 edge in the alltime series. The two squads meet in a season-opening series, Feb. 9-11 at Clark-LeClair
Stadium. Liberty won its only game against East Carolina on the diamond in the opening
contest of the three-game set, 6-2. The Pirates won the other two contests, 7-4 and 11-2.
A Look at the Classic Field
Rutgers
After snapping a four-game losing streak in convincing fashion with a 13-3 victory
over NJIT, Wednesday, the Scarlet Knights enter the weekend looking to post an above
.500 winning percentage for the first time this season. The Knights have face two nationally ranked opponents in Miami, Fla. and Georgia Tech this season.
The Scarlet Knights are led by Fred Hill, who is in his 34th year of coaching and 27th
at Rutgers. He has over 1,000 coaching victories in career and last season led the Scarlet
Knights to a 30-26 record.
Rutgers is hitting .233 as a team and averaging 5.3 runs per game through their first
10 games of the year.
Outfielder Michael Lang is the only Scarlet Knight with an above .300 batting average, leading the team with a .333 average. Shortstop Steve Nyisztor driven in a team-high
seven runs for Rutgers.
The Scarlet Knight pitching staff has been the team’s strength, so far this season.
Rutgers has a team ERA of 4.72 and has held opposing hitters to a .282 batting average.
Sophomore Tyler Gebler, who has already earned BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week
recognition, is 1-1 with a 2.18 ERA over 20 2/3 innings. The right-hander is likely to face
the Flames on Friday in the opening game of the tournament.
Jerry Elsing and Dan O’Neill have been the most called upon relievers out of the Rutgers bullpen in the early going. Elsing has made a team-high five appearances, posting a
0-1 record with a save and a 1.59 ERA over 5 2/3 innings. O’Neill has been in four games
and has not figured in a decision. He has a 8.59 ERA over 7 1/3 innings.
Monmouth
The Hawks will be looking to build upon a 5-3 win over St. Bontaventure in their last
outing on Monday, when they play host East Carolina, Friday afternoon. Their victory
Monday snapped a three-game losing streak. Monmouth is led by Dean Ehelhalt. He is in
his 17th year at the New Jersey school.
Monmouth enters the weekend with a .246 batting average over its first seven games
of the year. In those outings, the Hawks have averaged 8.4 hits and 4.71 runs per game.
Designated hitter Nick Pulsonetti is off to a strong start at the plate, leading Monmouth
with a .462 batting average and six RBIs. Pulsonetti has also hit both home runs by the
Hawks this season.
The Monmouth pitching staff has posted a 3.84 ERA in the early going in 2011. Opponents have hit .306 against Hawk hurlers. Freshman left-hander Andrew McGee has
recorded two of the three Monmouth wins, entering the weekend with a 2-0 record. The
freshman reliever has not allowed a run in 11 1/3 innings over three appearances.
Senior Nick Myers has posted a 1-1 record with a 3.38 ERA over eight innings during
his two starts in 2011.

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 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.

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.
Bream Sets New Season Hit Record
Third baseman Tyler Bream finished the 2010 season with 96 hits, setting a new
school season record. The sophomore surpassed the previous Liberty program standard of 94 in 2006 by Michael Just. Bream led the Big South Conference in hits. Now a
junior, Bream has been picked by Big South head coaches as one of the conference’s
best hitters in a 2011 preseason poll by College Baseball Insider.com.
Bream’s teammates P.J. Jimenez, Curran Redal and Matt Williams also finished
their years in the program’s Top 10 for hits during a single season. Jimenez, a senior in
2010, had 92 hits in his final season with the Flames, tying him for third on the all-time
list with Jason Benham, who had the same total in 1998. Redal completed his last season in a Flames uniform with 90 hits to tie for fifth on the season list with Phillip Laurent

(2006) and Jeremiah Boles (2004). Shortstop Williams, a sophomore in 2010,
had 85 hits last season, placing him ninth on the all-time season list.
As a team, head coach Jim Toman’s squad had 691 hits, the team’s most
since 2002. The Flames had a school-record 702 that season.
We Got Your Back
The Liberty relief corps recorded 16 saves in 2010, the second most in program history. Only the 2000 Flames team had more, posting 18 saves behind
Liberty’s all-time career saves leader Josh Brey (27), who had 16 during the year.
2011 returnee Josh Richardson tied for fourth in the Big South with six saves,
while right-hander J.J. McLeod, in his first season as a Flame, had five saves.
Bullpen workhorse Dane Beakler, who returns for his final year in a Liberty uniform in 2011, led the Flames with 26 appearances and recorded two saves.
Senior Carter Browning had three saves, all three coming with three coming or
more innings of relief.
Turning Two
Liberty turned 62 double plays in 2010, finishing the year 19th nationally. The
Flames’ total eclipsed 2009’s total of 36, recorded over 54 games. The program
season record is 77 double plays, set by the 1998 squad.
In addition, the Liberty Flames turned five ground balls into double plays during their 9-1 win over St. John’s on March 12. The five double plays turned by the
Liberty infield are the most in a game by the Flames over the past 11 seasons.
In 2008, the Flames turned four double plays in a game twice. The contests happened a week apart, as Liberty had four double plays in an 11-5 win over Army,
March 8. A week later, the Flames recorded four double plays in a 5-0 loss at
Southern Miss, March 15. Liberty also turned four double plays this season in a
6-3 victory over Lehigh on Feb. 27.
Taking One for the Team
In each of the previous two seasons, the Flames had set a new team record
for being hit by a pitch, and 2010 was no different. A Liberty player was hit by a
pitch 126 times in 2010, once again setting a new program standard. The total
eclipses the 2009 season’s team record of 95, which was set over 54 games.
The Flames tied for No. 1 in the nation with fellow Big South member High
Point in the category. The total goes into the NCAA record book as second alltime, behind the 2005 Notre Dame team, which was hit by a pitch on 130 occasions.
Senior catcher Nathan Thompson was hit by a pitch 20 times to lead the
Flames. The Liberty record for number of times being hit by a pitch in a season is
22, set by David Benham in 1998. Benham is also the school’s career leader in
the category, as the catcher was hit by a pitch on 55 occasions from 1995-98.
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 - Left-hander Shawn Teufel pitched his second complete game of the year in leading the Liberty Flames to a 13-0
shutout victory over the Presbyterian Blue Hose, April 24, 2010. Teufel scattered five hits over nine innings, striking out eight
and walking two. After the first inning, he did not allow a runner to pass second base.
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.
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.
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.
