The Shippensburg University baseball team enters the 2009 season as the reigning PSAC Sean Killian and Coach Matt Jones Western Division and North Atlantic Region Champions after making its fourth Division II World Series while setting 12 single-season school records, 11 individual records and 11 career records. One of those championships will not be repeated this season, as the Raiders switch back to the PSAC Eastern Division for the first time since 2004. But of the 30 players that will take the field this season, 17 players return from last year’s squad and have bonded due to the success of the team’s performance over the last two seasons under Matt Jones, the reigning ABCA North Atlantic Coach of the Year. “The guys (last year) really did put the team first,” Jones said. “They got along well and did what we Departed from last year’s club “It is very important for the needed them to do.

Baseball 39 History

The baseball team was founded in 1874, just three years after the school opened, making it the old- est intercollegiate team on cam- pus. The first recorded mention of baseball at the university was in the News-Chronicle of May 31,1874, when Shippensburg lost to Mercersburg Academy 17-5. From that humble beginning the team has become one of the most successful programs of the Red and Blue. Records from the earliest days of the program are sketchy, but here are a few highlights: In 1875, Shippensburg posted its largest known run total as it downed the Shippensburg Cen- tennial Club by a score of 55-35. The 1900 team posted an unde- feated season under Coach Ezra Lehman going 6-0. Lehman later served as president of the college from 1913-1931. Coach Art Fairchild (1966-86, 1988-95) In 1903, the team beat the Linder Club, the top amateur team in Central Pennsylvania by a score of 10-5 behind star pitcher Ira Mellinger.

Clyde “Pooch” Barnhart He was born in Buck Valley, Pa., in 1895 and graduated from Shippensburg in 1916. Four years later, at the age of 24, he broke into the major leagues with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a third baseman and began a distinguished nine-year career. From 1920-28, he played in 814 games, batted .295, hit 27 homeruns and recorded 436 RBIs. He hit over .300 in five seasons and batted .325 with a career-best 114 RBIs while leading the Pirates to a World Series title in 1925. In that series, he recorded seven hits and five RBI against Washington. In 1927, he helped the Pirates to a National League pennant and led the team with five hits and four RBIs in the World Series, but his team fell to the New York Yankees’ famed “Murderers’ Row” in four games. While 29 former Red Raiders have signed pro contracts, Barnhart remains the only alum to have played in the major leagues. He also holds the distinction of being the only player in Major League history to hit safely in all three games of a triple-header.

Fairchild Field On April 29, 1995, the Red Raiders’ home field was named the G. Arthur Fairchild Field in honor of head coach Art Fairch- ild, who retired at the end of the season. Fairchild Field, on the north side of campus, has been the home of Red Raiders baseball since 1973. Prior to that, the team played its home games at Eckels Field on the south side of campus. The team first played on Fairchild Field in 1971, but played at Eckels in 1974 before returning in 1975. The field is one of the best in the PSAC, with outstanding infield drainage. The field under went major renovation in 2006. The outfield fence was rebuilt and made symmetrical. The fence was also moved out and deeper with 330 feet down the foul lines and 400 feet to center field. The new fence is eight feet high all the way around the outfield. The Raiders enjoy considerable success in their home park. In 1981, the team posted a 16-0 mark en route to the PSAC championship. In the 1986, the Red Raiders were an incredible 20-2 as they took the title again.
