AASU has compiled a 234-73 record in five seasons 1 Savannah and Tybee Island

Historic Savannah, Georgia, is located on the Atlantic Coast, at the confluence of the Savannah River and the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout its history, there has been one adjective consistently used to describe Savan- nah: beautiful. The reason? There’s something about the unique beauty of Savannah that cannot be forgotten. Streets with canopies of moss-laden trees are honored venues for scores of historic homes. The town squares that Savannah’s founding father, James Oglethorpe, laid out as public meeting places are now treasured “pocket parks” located throughout the downtown area. A renovated waterfront area serves as the hub for shopping and entertainment. Nearby sandy beaches draw streams of visitors with persistent cool breezes and the endless lure of the rolling sea. Finally, there’s an indescribable - but readily discernible - feeling in the air that pervades Savannah, a kind of “laid back” approach to the world, a “rootedness” that makes living or working in Savannah an experience second to none. By way of affirmation, Le Monde, the leading French newspaper, called Savannah “the most beautiful city in North America.” Savannah has recently captured the imagination of a The climate of Savannah features warm, and nation through its history and its appearance in several sometimes hot, weather for most of the year.

Marty McDaniel Head Softball Coach

Marty McDaniel enters his seventh season at the helm of the Armstrong Atlantic State University softball program. McDaniel put together the Pirates’ inaugural 1998 squad as AASU fielded a varsity fastpitch softball squad for the first time. In just six seasons, McDaniel has built a program that captured its first Peach Belt Conference championship, earned three NCAA Regional berths and achieved a No. 1 ranking in the NFCA Coaches’ Top 25 poll during the 2000 season. Last season, the Pirates rode the pitching of first-team NFCA All- America Katya Eronina, the NCAA Division II leader in ERA, to the NCAA South Atlantic Region final. A 41-13 season and a No. 16 final ranking for a team that loses just two players for 2004 and returns Eronina and two-time All-America Stacy Richardson sets up McDaniel and the Pirates for an oustanding 2004. In 2002, McDaniel coached two NFCA Division II All-Americans - pitcher Annie Sells and Richardson - and led the Pirates to the No. 2 seed in the NCAA DII South Atlantic Region and a final No. 16 national ranking. The Pirates’ 40-7 record was the best won-lost record in the nation last season and Richardson was the NCAA’s DII champion with a school-record 16 home runs. McDaniel joined the AASU coaching ranks from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he served for three seasons as assistant coach to Ralph Weekly, the Mocs’ head coach and an U.S. Olympic Assistant Coach. During that time, Chattanooga won three Championships. A native of Chattanooga, Tenn., McDaniel received his Bachelor’s of Science degree from Carson Newman College in 1989 and also assisted the baseball team as a coach for two seasons. A top-rated pitcher himself, McDaniel has played men’s fastpitch for over 15 years and has made numerous All-Region squads. McDaniel and his wife, the former Kelly Stewart, currently reside in Savannah.

AASU’s Katya Eronina led the NCAA in earned-run average in 2003 7 2004 Season Preview

AASU Ready For More In 2004 For the second time in the Armstrong Atlantic State University softball program’s six years of varsity competition, the Lady Pirates were one game away from advancing to the College World Series. With two NFCA Division II All-Americans returning, AASU is driving for - and expecting - more in 2004. Led by the outstanding pitching of NFCA First-Team All-America hurler Katya Eronina and the hitting of two-time NFCA Second-Team All-America designated player Stacey Richardson, the Pirates begin the 2004 season picked to finish third in the Peach Belt Conference and ranked No. 14 in the preseason DII Top 25 poll. Much like 2003, the Pirates’ success will rely first on pitching. Eronina led NCAA Division II with an 0.36 ERA and set school and Peach Belt Conference records with 326 . The senior will unquestionably be one of the top pitchers in the country again in 2004. AASU welcomes back sophomore Katy Perkins, who missed all of the 2003 season, as the No. 2 starter. Perkins went 11-1 with a 1.43 ERA as a freshman in 2002 with four shutouts and pitched very well in the fall. Joining the duo will be true freshman Adrian Tuttle, a 5-11 righthander from Conneaut, Ohio. The offense will begin with Richardson, who has clubbed 28 home runs in two seasons and last year set a PBC record by drawing 43 walks. The senior will have a bit more protection in the lineup this year as opposing pitchers will have to contend with All-PBC catcher Kissy Stepanova and redshirt freshman outfielder Michelle Davis in the heart of the order. Stepanova hit .277 and played excellent defense behind the plate, gunning down 43% of potential basestealers, while Davis is healthy after suffering a preseason injury that forced her to miss the entire 2003 season. Senior 2B Stacy Oliver The top of the lineup will be handled by senior center fielder Valeria Silvestrini, a transfer from Argentina who played for the Italian National softball team in 2003. The 5-1 sparkplug can play almost any position and will be a definite basestealing threat. Behind her will be junior All-PBC second baseman Stacy Oliver, who hit .304 as a sopho- more with a team-high 10 stolen bases and 13 sacrifice hits. Senior Lindsay Phillips returns to shortstop after spending 2003 in center field, while the rest of the infield will be manned by returning starters Amanda Kort (1B) and Jenny Alfirov (3B). Senior Carrie Thompson will join Silvestrini and Davis in 2004 Peach Belt the outfield after hitting .299 last season, third-best on the squad.

18 AASU led NCAA Division II in fielding in 2001 2003 AASU Season Review

The AASU softball squad completed another successful season in 2003, competing in its third NCAA Championships and advancing to its second South Atlantic Region championship game. AASU finished the year with a 41-13 overall record and a No. 16 final ranking. The success of the 2003 Pirates began with a pair of newcomers who made an immediate impact on the program. Junior pitcher Katya Eronina and junior catcher Kissy Stepanova formed the “Russian Battery” in 2003 and both took the league by storm. Eronina went 23-6 with an 0.36 ERA, the best earned-run average in NCAA Division II, earning NFCA Division II First-Team All-America honors. She was an NFCA DII Player of the Week during her scoreless-inning streak of 65.1 shutout innings, the third longest streak in NCAA Division II history. Stepanova hit .277 and earned All-Peach Belt Conference honors, proving deadly to opposing runners as she threw out 43% of potential basestealers during the season. NFCA All-America honoree Stacey Richardson returned for her second season as a Pirate and again terrorized opposing pitching, hitting .312 with 12 home runs and 35 RBI, all team highs. Opponents walked Delaney Warrian Richardson 42 times durimg the season, a new school and Peach Belt Conference record, showing immense respect for the Pirates’ clean-up hitter. Richardson has now cranked 28 home runs in her two seasons. The Pirates began the season with a 25-3 record, which included wins over No. 2 Barry (2-1 on March 1), No. 25 Coker (8-0 on March 8) and No. 14 Alabama-Huntsville (5-0 on March 21). Despite a 12-6 mark in the Peach Belt Conference, the Pirates’ strong region and national schedule helped them secure their third NCAA Championships berth. At the 2003 NCAA South Atlantic Regional, the Pirates dropped a heartbreaking 1-0 decision to Longwood to move into the loser’s bracket, but AASU battled through, winning three straight games to reach the champion- ship game against No. 12 GC&SU. Along the way, the Pirates knocked off No. 22 Columbus State 2-0 and host and No. 2-ranked North Florida, 2-0, to reach the Bobcats. In an outstanding display of pitching, senior Delaney Warrian and GC&SU’s Jennifer Joiner matched zeroes through 12 innings, until the Bobcats finally broke through with a run in the 13th inning, the longest game ever played by Armstrong Atlantic State. The game capped off a fine season by the senior Warrian, who went 15-8 with a 1.82 ERA in 24 games for the Pirates. Warrian, who graduated in May as the physical education department’s top student, also earned CoSIDA Academic All-District III honors and was named to the All-South Atlantic Region Tournament squad. Other strong performances in 2003 came from junior outfielder Carrie Thompson, who hit .299 in her first season at AASU, as well as freshman shortstop Abby Hodge, who played excellent defense and drew 33 walks on the season. With only Warrian and Hodge missing from the 2003 squad, the 2004 campaign looks to be one of the strongest in history for AASU Softball.

AASU Pirate Softball Field

The Armstrong Atlantic State University softball team plays on campus at the Pirate Softball Complex, located behind the Pirate baseball field. The on-campus complex includes home and visitor dugouts with storage areas in each and a restroom located in the home dugout. The Pirate softball scoreboard is located in right-center field and two bullpens are on each side of the field for pitcher/catcher use. For facility maintenance, the Pirates have a tarp that covers the entire infield, reaching into the outfield to help avoid rainouts. The field is totally enclosed with left and center field reaching 200 feet and right field reaching 190 feet. Aluminum stands sit behind home plate and seat approximately 500 fans. A parking lot providing easy access to the softball complex rests behind the first base dugout. Two recently completed softball batting cages rest behind the left field wall and 2002 marked the debut of live internet webcasting of AASU softball games through a wireless internet connection to the Pirate softball field. Fans can listen to and watch AASU home softball matches in 2004 via the internet at the following address: http://www.athletics.armstrong.edu/softball/sblive.html. AASU has enjoyed tremendous success at home, compiling an 11-4 record last season at the Pirate softball field and going 94-12 at home in the six years of the program’s existence.

AASU is 94-12 at home in the six years of the program’s existence 21 All-Time Results
