2003 BASEBALL GUIDE Since its founding in 1855, William Paterson University has grown to become a comprehensive, public, liberal arts institution committed to academic excellence and student success. Accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges, it offers 30 undergraduate and 19 graduate degree programs as well as professional develop- ment programs through its five colleges: Arts and Communi- cation, the Christos M. Cotsakos College of Business, Educa- tion, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Science and Health.
More than eleven thousand full- and part-time students from a diversity of backgrounds are enrolled at the University. Occupying a 370-acre, wooded hillside campus, the Univer- sity is located in the hills of suburban Wayne, New Jersey, within an hour of the ocean, the mountains, the Meadow- lands, and New York City.
As a state-supported institution, the University offers students the value of a first-rate education at a fraction of the cost experienced by those at private colleges and universities.

3 2002 ROSTER/PREVIEW 2003 SEASON PREVIEW
Bryan Weingart
Much of his 2002 pitching staff will take the mound again, there are proven performers across his infield, and a trio of pro prospects will again roam the outfield. With this in mind, 29th-year head coach Jeff Albies finds himself pondering the possibilities for such an experienced and talented squad, one he hopes will deliver the Pioneers (27-12, 12-6 NJAC) their first NCAA Division III playoff appearance since 1999.
“The depth of our pitching will be a strength for us throughout the season. I have confidence that a number of pitchers could step up,” Albies said. “I’m also optimistic because we’ve got team speed. We can win games with pitching and speed no matter how many runs we score. I like that.”
Albies likes a lot about the 2003 Pioneers. Here is a position-by-position breakdown of this year’s team.
PITCHERS
Eight hurlers return from 2002, all of whom logged quality innings. Right- hander Jack Baker (3-4, 3.00 ERA) and southpaws Charlie Bowman (3-1, 4.66 ERA) and Dan Singer (4-1, 3.11 ERA), all seniors, give the Pioneers a strong trio atop their rotation. Bowman is more of a power pitcher who possesses a biting slider, while Baker and Singer excel at location and switching speeds. Any of the three could be considered Jack Baker an ace.
Among the returnees, sophomores Anthony Mangine (2-1, 4.30 ERA) and Jake Pravkewitz (2-1, 2 saves, 5.53 ERA) both showed considerable toughness in big spots last season. Either or both could join the rotation this spring. Mangine might have the most live arm on the staff and showed it in winning his second college start against The College of New Jersey on April 21. Pravkewitz, meanwhile, showed plenty of tenacity while bailing the Pioneers out of middle- and late-inning jams. Junior Kevin Brogan, a transfer from DeSales, displayed good command in the fall and also could factor into the mix along with sophomore Dan Corrado (1-0, 1.69 ERA) and
4 freshman Bill Ziegenbalg.
Anchoring the bullpen will be junior closer Mat Sackman (3-2, 6 saves, 23 Ks in 26.0 IP), who stifled several late-season, late-game threats by firing 90- mph heat past opposing hitters. Bridging the gap between the starters and Sackman depends upon how the starting situation shakes out. Any of the aforementioned starting candidates could log middle- and long-relief innings. Senior Jim Carroll (1-1, 9 appearances) is the most experienced of the bullpen members and is best when pitching in short stints. Junior southpaw Arnaldo Mateo and freshman Anthony Pastore add depth to the strength of this year’s team.
CATCHERS
Another area of strength for the Pioneers is behind the plate, where they have plenty of dependable choices. Senior Bryan Weingart (.237, 12 RBI) is hoping to return to his 2001 form, when he made the All-New Jersey Athletic Conference second team by hitting .391 with three home runs and 26 RBI. In addition to being a solid defensive backstop, he could see time at designated hitter.
To claim the starting spot, however, he will have to fend off a challenge from sophomore Fernando Fuentes, a transfer from junior college power Miami Dade Community College. Fuentes was drafted by the Yankees in 2001 after his senior year at Weehawken High School, but decided to hone his skills in college. In addition to calling a good game, he is a switch-hitter with good speed. Sophomore Mike Tomjack, who worked well with the pitching staff in 2002, adds depth.
INFIELDERS
Three starters return in senior first baseman Mark Kalish (.295, 5 HR, 25 RBI), sophomore second baseman Tim Banos (.306, 10 RBI) and senior shortstop Dan Suarez (.355, 9 2B, HR, 24 RBI).
Kalish was a second team All-NJAC selection who had an 11-game hit streak last season, and is expected to improve upon his 2002 run production. He will try to hold off challenges from junior Matt Cleary and sophomores Anthony Mazzo (.293) and Bill Sisca.
At second base, Banos was a Mark Kalish pleasant surprise, providing steady play at the plate and in the field after taking over as the starter midway through last year as the Pioneers went on a late-season tear. However, the sophomore must stave off a challenge by senior Jason Tiseo (.222), a player who has proven his capabilities the past two campagins.
Suarez earned All-NJAC honorable mention after starting all 39 games a year ago. The sweet-swinging senior could stay at shortstop, or over to second or third depending upon the development of some younger players during the preseason.
Sophomore Len Hoffman (.338, HR, 11 RBI) is the favorite to open up at the
5 2002 PREVIEW
hot corner. Hoffman started his career by getting hits in his first seven at bats, and also showed the ability to steal bases as a freshman.
A pair of newcomers enter the preseason with a chance to make it more difficult for Albies to pencil in his lineup card. Freshman Mike Yackanin, also a promising wide receiver on the football team, could earn time at shortstop, while Cleary could step in almost anywhere in the infield. There are also a couple of dark-horse candidates in pitchers Baker and Singer. Baker is a fine all- around athlete who could man the hot corner, while Singer’s defensive abilities make him a potential late- inning defensive replace- Bryan Graham ment at first.
OUTFIELD
With seniors Bryan Graham (.314, 31 R, 12 2B, 6 HR, 49 RBI) and Ron Hayward (.306, 30 R, HR, 18 RBI, 19 SB) and junior transfer Mike Bucco, the Pioneers possess one of the most skilled outfields in the region. A first-team All-New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association Division II/III and second team All-NJAC performer who led the team in home runs and RBI last spring, Graham is a four-year starter who has been ranked among the Top 5 prospects in Division III by Baseball America the past few years. He led the Pioneers in home runs and RBI last spring. Meanwhile, Hayward is a fleet- footed center fielder and a long-ball threat who was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 1999.
In left field Bucco, a transfer from SUNY New Paltz, showed a potent power stroke during fall ball and will also be watched by pro scouts this season. Sophomore Dwayne Dowell has plenty of potential and could push for playing time as the season progresses. Freshman Pete Zaccheria is a solid athlete who will provide depth.
SCHEDULE
The Pioneers open their 2003 slate with two games against Clarkson on March 8 and 9 at Caven Point in Jersey City. From there, they take their annual spring trip to Florida, where they will play Division II Florida programs Barry, Lynn and Nova Southeastern as well as Northeast schools such as Albright, Drew and Springfield.
When they return home, they will face a challenging non-conference schedule in addition to their usual New Jersey Athletic Conference opponents. The Pioneers will play national power Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute twice (home and away) and also travel to face FDU Florham to highlight their non-league games.
In the NJAC, home-and-home contests against Kean and backyard rival Montclair State loom as big games. Road doubleheaders against Rowan, Rutgers-Newark and The College of New Jersey will also provide good tests, as will a home twinbill against Rutgers-Camden. 6 JEFF ALBIES 42 Head Coach 29th Season Career Record: 759-322-10 Long Island University ‘68 With 759 career wins and two national championships to his credit, Albies has been a baseball institution at William Paterson for the past 29 years, from the formative days when arrived in 1975 to the present. More than just the greatest coach in Pioneer history, he is also one of the very best to ever coach on the Division III level, as he will be inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame on Jan. 4, 2004.
All of this success has come, simply, because of Albies’ unflinching diligence and his unwavering desire to turn a diamond in the rough into a program that sparkled for all to see. He spent his early years establishing himself with local and state high school coaches, showing them what William Paterson baseball could become with their help.
Sure enough, his efforts did not go for naught. It started in the form of putting together consecutive winning seasons in 1975 and 1976, his first two seasons, before the Pioneers earned their way into the 1977 NCAA South Atlantic Regional. More and more of the best and brightest high school players in the area chose to play for him, which eventually resulted in an invitation to the 1982 NCAA Division III College World Series, the first of seven trips to the national quarterfinals. Although the Pioneers lost both games their first time there, it would set a whole new standard for the program.
It took another three trips to the Series stretched over the next decade before the Pioneers became more than just one of the best teams in Division III. When Ralph Perdomo’s home run cleared the fence in 1992, William Paterson was the best, capturing its first national championship by beating California-Lutheran. That team included professional draft picks Keith Eaddy (Baltimore) and Troy McAllister (Kansas City).
Of course, it would not be the last time the Pioneers reigned as the kings of Division III baseball. By recruiting stellar talents such as future professional players Dan Lauterhahn, Brian Lindner and Bob Slomkowski, the stars aligned again in 1996. The opponent again in the
7 COACHING STAFF
Albies clutching the 1996 National Championship trophy championship was California-Lutheran. The outcome was again decided by a three-run home run, this one soaring off the bat of Mark DeMenna.
Overall, there are plenty of numbers that lay testament to Albies’ coaching legend: 28 players signing professional contracts, 18 NCAA regional tournament appearances, 11 New Jersey Athletic Conference titles, seven appearances in the Division III College World Series and, of course, those two national championships.
Then there are his personal statistics, ones impossible to ignore. He is sixth among active Division III coaches with 759 victories. In addition, he has been named the ABCA National Coach of the Year twice (1992, 1996) while also earning the organization’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Coach of the Year award on nine occasions (1982, 1988-89, 1992-93, 1995- 97, 1999). The NJAC has named him its Coach of the Year nine times as well (1982,-83, 1987, 1989, 1991-93, 1995-96) and the New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association has honored him six times (1982, 1987, 1989, 1991-92, 1996).
Yet, as much as those numbers speak of greatness, they just scratch the surface. His laid-back manner enables him to work well and form mutual bonds of respect with his student-athletes. It is why former players regularly return to check out his current Pioneer teams. It is what helped him lure one of the stars of his 1996 team, right-hander Scott Farber, to return as an assistant coach this season.
Entering his 29th year in the Pioneer dugout, Albies is still as passionate about the national pastime as ever, still exhibiting the same exuberance he did while playing second base in the Atlanta Braves organization for
8 three years and also professionally in Canada for two more. It helped him get inducted into the Metropolitan Baseball League Hall of Fame in 1990, earned him a chance to manage in the prestigious Cape Cod League for top college players, and gave him a chance to give clinics in 1993 as a guest of the Romania Baseball Federation.
Albies is a champion of college baseball in New Jersey and across the country. He has served as the national baseball chairman of the NCAA Division III Championships committee and the chairman of the NCAA Division III Mid-Atlantic Region. In addition, he has been on the NCAA Division III All-American, NCAA Selection and Legislative Action, and American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) committees.
Also the William Paterson associate director of athletics, Albies holds a B.S. in health and physical education from Long Island University (’68), a Master’s of Science in health and physical education from Hunter College (‘72), and a professional diploma in adminstration/supervision from Fordham University (’75). He resides in Hillsdale with his wife of 33 years, Andrea, and their two daughters: Erika, 27, and Ashlee, 24.

29 2002 IN REVIEW 2002 IN REVIEW
It was another successful season for the William Paterson baseball program, one that laid the foundation for a potentially strong 2003. Here are some of the highlights.
• William Paterson qualified for the New Jersey Athletic Conference tournament for the 12th straight season, the only team to do so since the tournament format was intro- duced in 1990. To earn their way in, the Pioneers won seven straight games down the stretch, including key sweeps of The College of New Jersey Dan Sherlock on April 21 and backyard rival Montclair State on April 27. • Senior third baseman Dan Sherlock tied former New York Yankee Dan Pasqua’s 20-year-old record for stolen bases in a season, swiping 31 bags in 2002, which ranked eighth in Division III. He finished fifth all-time with 48 steals in his two seasons at William Paterson. In addition, Sherlock was named first team All- New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association Division II/III and second team All-NJAC. • In the sweep of TCNJ, junior southpaw Charlie Bowman pitched 8 1/3 innings of shutout ball in a 2-0 victory. Freshman Anthony Mangine, making only his second college start, followed it up with 5 1/3 strong innings in a 4-2 triumph to complete the sweep. Charlie Bowman • Sophomore righty Mat Sackman emerged on the radar screens of pro scouts by becom- ing a dominant closer. He posted three saves in as many games, closing out the nightcap against Rowan on April 20 and then saving both ends of a doubleheader against The College of New Jersey the following day. This earned him the NJCBA Division II/III Co-Pitcher of the Week on April 22. He went 3-2 with a 3.54 ERA, while his six saves tied him for fourth on the Pioneer single-season chart. • Junior right fielder Bryan Graham slugged a career-high six home runs and added a team-high 49 runs batted in, good enough to earn him first team All-NJCBA Division II/III and Anthony Mangine second team All-NJAC honors.
30 Graham also moved into fifth place in doubles with 39 after hitting 12 two- baggers in 2002. He was also named the NJCBA Co- Division II/III Player of the Week on April 8. • Junior shortstop Dan Suarez was named NJAC Player of the Week on April 22 after batting .542 in a 6-1 week for the Pioneers. He was named honorable mention All-NJAC after batting .355 with a homer Mat Sackman and 24 RBI. • Junior southpaw Dan Singer spun his first complete game for the Pioneers, scattering nine hits and one run in a 4-1 win over Montclair State on April 27. As a result, he was named the NJCBA Co- Division II/III Pitcher of the Week on April 29. He finished 4-1 with a 3.11 ERA. • Freshman Dan Corrado made a terrific first start, limiting nationally ranked Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to five hits and one run over five strong innings. The Pioneers’ 6-3 triumph enabled him to pick up his first victory. • Junior first baseman Mark Kalish earned a spot on the All-NJAC second team after tying his career high with five home runs. One of them, against FDU Madison in a 6-5 victory on April 16, was hit an estimated 530 feet. In addition, Dan Corrado Kalish held the team’s longest streak in 2002 by hitting safely in 10 straight games. • Freshman Len Hoffman hit safely in his first seven career at- bats and went 9-for-12 on their Florida trip. • The Pioneers went 7-3 on their annual spring trek to the Sunshine State, including two wins over Division II Millersville on March 23, the final day of the trip. • With a 6-5 victory over Rutgers-Newark on April 19, venerable head coach Jeff Albies won his 750th game. He is now 759-322-10 in his 28 seasons at William Paterson. Len Hoffman

35 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS
Clutching the 1992 NCAA Division III Baseball Championship bracket are: (from left) catcher Brian Detwiler, shortstop Troy McAllister and third baseman Joe Carter
REMEMBERING THE 1992 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
There was the crack of the bat, the sight of the ball clearing the wall, and then the euphoria spilling out onto the field. Once Ralph Perdomo connected on the game-winning, three-run homer to beat California Lutheran, 3-1, in the bottom of the ninth inning, William Paterson became the proud owner of its first baseball national championship.
Perdomo’s homer helped the Pioneers close out the season with a 12- game win streak as they finished 36-7 (14-2 NJAC). They also added New Jersey Athletic Conference and Mid-Atlantic Regional titles to their trophy case.
Perdomo was named the World Series MVP after hitting .471 under the bright lights; he finished with a .359 average, 60 hits, a team-high 52 runs and 47 RBI en route to being named an All-American, All-Region and All-NJAC. Junior outfielder Keith Eaddy was also a first team All- American, leading the team in hits (68), RBI (61) and doubles (18) before being drafted by the Baltimore Orioles. The last of the All- American trio, senior outfielder John DiGirolamo, scratched out 61 hits, scored 46 runs and belted 11 doubles.
On the mound, juniors Scott Farber and Bob Graham showed plenty of poise. Farber beat Cal-Lutheran in the title game to finish the season 8-0 with four saves and a 2.67 ERA. Graham went 7-0 with a 2.40 ERA; two of his victories came in the Series.

36 REMEMBERING THE 1996 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Mark DeMenna provided more home-run heroics, sending a three-run homer soaring over the fence to help the Pioneers (39-5-1) score a 6-5 victory over California Lutheran to give them their second national championship in five years and put an exclamation point on the best season in school history.
There were no shortage of heroes on this team. Before the Seattle Mariners drafted him, senior shortstop Brian Lindner posted one of the finest offensive seasons in Pioneer history. He set school single-season records for hits (84), RBI (79) and doubles (19) while also batting .440 with eight home runs en route to making the All-American first team. In addition, he formed a superb double-play combination with sophomore second baseman Dan Lautherhahn (.378, 38 runs), as they turned 40 of the team’s NCAA-best 55 twin killings.
DeMenna (.391, 68 R, 4 HR, 39 RBI), a sophomore center fielder, also had a big season. Ditto for senior right fielder Brian Kelly (.400, 17 2B, 9 HR, 47 RBI, 53 runs), a second team All-American, and junior catcher Dan Egbert (.366, 36 runs, 11 2B, 31 RBI). One of the all-time Pioneer greats, senior third baseman Paul Bumbaco hit .331 with 44 RBI and finished as the Pionees’ career leader in hits (226), RBI (182), doubles (50) and at-bats (620).
On the mound, juniors Brian Appelman (school-record 11-0, 3.61 ERA, 75 strikeouts) and Bob Slomkowski (9-0, 2.86 ERA) both had strong seasons. Appelman was named an All-American. Freshman Eduardo Gomez (8-1) also was strong for the Pioneers and won the title game for the Pioneers.
