TD Ameritrade Park Omaha A New Home for Bluejay Baseball

Creighton University and the Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority (MECA) have reached an agreement for the Creighton Bluejay baseball team to play its home games at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

Under the lease agreement, Creighton will play a portion of its home games this 2011 season and all of its home games in 2012 and beyond at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. Creighton’s first game at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha will be April 19, a match-up with in-state rival Nebraska.

Construction on the state-of-the-art facility started following the January 2009 groundbreaking ceremony. The facility, with a view of Qwest Center Omaha as a backdrop, will be one of the finest baseball facilities in America.

“TD Ameritrade Park Omaha will be a potent element in the recruitment and retention of Creighton baseball players... It will allow us to attract top-notch college teams from across the country who would just love to play at the home of the College World Series.” said Creighton President Rev. John P. Schlegel. 2011 Baseball Creighton Baseball Meet the Staff Meet the Players Opponents 2010 in Review Records and History This is Creighton

(904), total home runs (107), wins in a season Meet the Staff (51) and putouts on defense (1,805). To this day it has been the only Creighton team to make it to the College World Series. Creighton won many fans that season and with the city of Omaha pulling for them, Rosen- blatt became its second home. Fans lined the streets to meet and greet their favorite Jay, slept outside and over- night to get tickets, and caught Bluejay Fever. Junior Scott Stahoviak, named the American Baseball Coaches Associa- Meet the Players tion’s college Player of the Year, said in a 1991 interview that “All the attention is new to us. It’s amazing. My first two years here, I don’t know if anyone knew we had a baseball team - to tell the truth - other than the Jayback- ers.” (Omaha World Herald, Monday June 3, 1991). On the 20-year anniversary of the Colllege World Series appearance, the 1991 team is being inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame this spring. The Hall of Fame honors athletes and coaches who have highly excelled on their field of play. The Jays join fellow members of the 2011 class including Don Benning (UNO wrestling coach), Pat Fischer (NFL football player), Dave Hoppen (Nebraska career scoring leader in basketball), Susan Marchese (18-time state golf champion), and Jack Payne (WOWT and CWS announcer).

7 Creighton Bluejays The End of an Era Creighton Baseball Creighton Meet the Staff

After hosting the College World Series for 60 years, playing a role as the secondary field for the Creighton Bluejays and hosting various concerts, sporting events and community events, Omaha’s Rosenblatt Stadium closed its doors in 2010. While the playing surface of the “Diamond on the Hill” was in great shape, the design and structure of the 62-year-old ballpark needed a major facelift. The expense of turning the original Meet the Players Omaha Municipal Stadium, built in 1948, into a state-of-the-art facility that would compare with ballparks across the country would require too much money, and the decision was made to build a new facility, known now as TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. Johnny Rosenblatt (1907-1979), whose name graces the ballpark, played amateur, semipro and professional baseball before entering a life of public service. Opponents He located this hilltop site and pushed for its construction. It opened in 1948 and two years later attracted the NCAA College World Series. Creighton annually serves as the host of the CWS, and the Creighton baseball players have been able to experience on a yearly basis the aura and thrill of playing in a facility that held so much history. Rosenblatt Stadium had seating for 23,100 fans, with the outfield general admission being a popular choice for the CWS fans. The stadium underwent many different recon- structions, expanding the first baseline seating in the late 80’s, adding seating in left and right field in 1993 and 1995, renovating the pressbox and suites in 1996 and putting in a

2010 in Review new bleacher system in 2002. The giant scoreboard in left field was redesigned in 2006 and can be seen from Interstate 80 when crossing the bridge from Iowa to Nebraska. The City of Omaha put together a great send- off for the stadium following the completion of the 2010 Omaha Royals season, which included Steve Rosenblatt (Johnny’s son) hitting the final ball out of the infield, and removal of home plate, which was sent to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Records and HistoryRecords Cooperstown, N.Y.

Meet the Players 19 Creighton Bluejays 2011 Preview After a 27-25 record in the 2010 season, Creighton’s seventh straight winning season, the 2011 Bluejays baseball team is on a mission to prove themselves and their ability. Head coach Ed Servais enters his eighth season returning a host of players with quality experience and a talented group of newcomers. The Jays return 20 ballplayers, including 10 pitchers and four starting position players. The talented group of returners include seniors Trever Adams (who led the team with a .356 average and 12 home runs) and Jimmy Swift (who had just five errors in 148 chances at third base

Creighton Baseball Creighton last season), as well as sophomore Ty Blach and senior Jonas Dufek on the mound. Blach finished with a team low 3.11 ERA and Dufek recorded a team high 65 strikeouts in 2010. Creighton has a talented group of 14 newcomers, led by junior college transfers Nick Judkins (junior infielder) andAnthony Bemboom (junior catcher), as well as pitchers Reese McGraw (junior right hander) and Chase Webb (junior right hander). The group will try to make up for the loss of 21 players. Many players will be asked to step up and fill the holes of five starting position players, including shortstop Elliot Soto and catcher Carson Vitale, both of whom were drafted last season. Soto, who ranks sixth in Creighton record books with 490 career assists, was taken in the 15th round by the Chicago Cubs, while Vitale was drafted in the 38th round by the Texas Rangers.

Meet the Staff Other key losses for the Jays include senior first baseman Ian Dike, second team all-MVC performer Robbie Knight, MVC honorable mention pitcher Bobby Lackovic, and outfielder T.J. Roemmich, a career .276 hitter, all to graduation.

PITCHERS Meet the Players

Blach Dufek Koenigstein VanLeur Winkelman Spomer Hellhake The Jays have 16 pitchers on the 2011 roster, putting the depth on the mound as one of the biggest strengths for the upcoming season. Creighton has 11 right-handed hurlers and six southpaws, each of whom brings value to the pitching staff, which finished last season with a combined 5.19 ERA and a .282 opponent batting average.

Opponents Leading the staff will be 2010 Freshman All-American Ty Blach. The sophomore left-handed pitcher made 14 appearances, which included 11 starts, striking out 58 batters and throwing just 18 walks. Right-handed pitchers Jonas Dufek and Brandon Koenigstein also will lead the Bluejays staff, as the two finished with a 4.92 and 3.95 ERA a season ago, respectively. Dufek finished with an 8-3 record in 16 appearances while Koenigstein’s ERA put him second on the team in a team leading 93.1 innings. Left-handed hurler Jack VanLeur, who led the team with 30 appearances, finished the 2010 season giving up just two homeruns and earning four saves. Mark Winkelman finished with a 4.37 ERA in 27 appearances and one start. The sophomore left-hander hurled one inning 14 times last season, giving up just two runs in those 14 innings. The Jays will get support from returning right-handed hurlers Kurt Spomer, Nick Musec and Austin Cole, as well as left-hander Greg Hellhake.

2010 in Review Adding their names to the mix will be newcomers Matt Hartmann, Erik Mattingly, Reese McGraw, Andrew Ostapowicz, Ryan Price, John Sorenson and Chase Webb. Four of the seven pitchers (Mattingly, McGraw, Sorenson and Webb) come from another collegiate institutions, while the other three are fresh out of high school. All seven will add more depth to the staff as they look to replace workhorse pitchers Bobby Lackovic, Matt Patterson and Mike Nihsen, who combined for 85 innings last year.

CATCHERS

After a 17-year absence from postseason play, the 1990 squad ended the drought and began a streak of three consecutive NCAA Regional appearances for the Jays. Creighton earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Opponents Tournament after finishing third in the MVC with a 13-7 league mark. At the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas, the Jays picked up their first-ever NCAA Tournament win over Clemson in the opener. After a 6-3 loss to eventual CWS qualifier Cal State Fullerton, Creighton came back to defeat Clemson for the second time the next day. The dream of reaching the CWS ended, however, with an 11-9 loss to the host Texas Longhorns. The team’s 48 wins were a school-record at that time, as head coach Jim Hendry directed the squad to the NCAA Tournament in his sixth full season. Hendry would go on to coach only one more season, before making the jump to professional baseball where he currently serves as the general manager for the Chicago Cubs. Individual accolades went hand-in-hand with the team’s success. Junior left-handed pitcher Dan Smith was 2010 in Review named the MVC Pitcher of the Year after leading the league with a 14-3 record and a then-school-record 1.96 ERA. Smith recorded 12 complete games, five shutouts and 134 strikeouts as a junior before being selected in the first round (16th pick) of the 1990 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers. He received first-team All-America honors from both Baseball America and the ABCA following the season, as well as first-team all-MVC laurels. Joining Smith on the all-MVC first team were junior outfielder John Pivovar and sophomore infielder Scott Stahoviak. Pivovar hit .339 in 61 starts, tallying 11 doubles, four triples, five home runs and 35 RBIs, to go along with a .988 fielding percentage.

With the support of its home fans at Rosenblatt Stadium, seventh- seeded Creighton fed off their energy in upsetting second-seeded Clemson in the first round, 8-4. Then in an epic battle against MVC rival Wichita State, the Bluejays suffered a heartbreaking 3-2, 12-inning loss. Junior Steve Bruns, the potential game-tying run, was thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the 12th to squash the Jays’ hopes. In an elimination game, Creighton responded to rock Meet the Players Long Beach State, 13-4, to earn one more shot at the Shockers. However, Creighton’s dream season ended shy of the national championship game, as Wichita State defeated the Jays, 11-3, for the Shockers’ eighth win in eight games against Creighton during the season. The 1991 squad re-wrote the record books, with many marks still standing today, including the 51-win total reached during the season. Creighton finished as the nation’s top offense, hitting a school-record .355 during the year. The Jays also broke and still hold school records in runs (667), hits (904), RBIs (611), doubles (184), triples (60), home runs (107), total bases (1,529) and slugging percentage (.601).

Northwoods League Known as one of the premier summer collegiate baseball wooden bat leagues in the country, many Northwoods League rosters have included Creighton players in recent years. Last season three Jays ventured up north to take part in the league and Creighton could see as many as 10 players on rosters this summer. In addition, current Creighton assistant coach Rob Smith has previously been head coach of the league’s Wisconsin Woodchucks. Matt Patterson continued the Jays’ run of success in the league, as he was named to the North Division’s mid-season All-Star Team as a member of the

Creighton Baseball Creighton Duluth Huskies in 2009.

In 2008, Bobby Lackovic was selected to the 2008 mid-season Northwoods League All-Star Team as a member of the Waterloo Bucks. In 2007 Darin Ruf Carson Vitale was named the league’s best offensive first baseman after hitting .348. In 2005, Zach Daeges became the first player in NWL history to win the Triple Crown, batting .366 while hitting 13 home runs and driving in 48 runs for the Waterloo Bucks. Creighton players have been successful for years in the NWL. Former Bluejays Steve Grasley and Tom Oldham were named to the Northwoods League All-Decade Team that was announced in 2004. Grasley’s 19 saves during the summer of 2002 was a NWL record. He returned in 2003 as a starter and led the NWL with nine wins and 91 strikeouts for the league champion Wisconsin Woodchucks. Also a member of the Woodchucks, Oldham’s 0.74 ERA in 2001 is the lowest in NWL history. Wisconsin also won the league championship in 2001 behind Oldham’s 6-1 record. Matt Patterson Meet the Staff

Coach Servais has coached three gold gloves in seven seasons. His teams have had above a .965 fielding percentage every season he has been at the helm of Bluejay baseball.

The Jays are also sixth in the country in the last seven years under Ser- vais in double plays per game, turning 1.02 per game.
